Responding to growing global demand for the Belize collection of luxury motor yachts, Riviera has revealed a first look at the new Belize 55 Sedan and Daybridge, ahead of their World Premiere at the Newport International Boat Show, Newport, Rhode Island, opening 17 September 2026.

Defined by elegant proportions and classic styling, the Belize 55 is a contemporary interpretation of a golden era of yachting, where timeless design, exceptional craftsmanship and modern performance converge.

Like every yacht in the Belize collection, the Belize 55 is created for discerning owners seeking to build their dream motor yacht. Each Belize is highly individual, reflecting the personal vision, experience and lifestyle of its owner.

Riviera Australia’s owner Rodney Longhurst describes Belize a superb balance between the understated elegance of Maine’s classic Downeaster style boats and Australian practicality; a blend of tradition and modern bespoke luxury using masterful design, premium fabrics and finishes, exotic timbers and handcrafted cabinetry.

“Belize owners often have years of cruising experience, some aboard traditional motor yachts whilst others started out under sail. Now they have reached a stage where decisions are made without compromise,” he said.

With the Belize 55 Sedan and Daybridge, owners can create their ultimate classic motor yacht, with a level of customisation and bespoke detail. With only a limited number of Belize yachts built each year, ownership is defined by exclusivity.”

 Sublime Ride and Effortless Performance

At the heart of the Belize 55 is a hull engineered specifically for Volvo Penta IPS propulsion. A fine entry slices cleanly through the water, while keel‑assisted tracking and a pronounced bow chine deliver confident handling, excellent stability and a dry, silky ride offshore.

Twin Volvo Penta D11 IPS 950’s provide effortless performance, impressive fuel efficiency and precise manoeuvrability, with up to three joystick control stations available for stress‑free docking and close‑quarters handling.

Designed for Entertaining and Enjoyment

A generous, full‑beam hydraulic swim platform transforms into a private beach at anchor, creating effortless access to the water for swimming, tender launching and water sports. A dedicated watersports garage keeps equipment neatly stowed, while an integrated transom barbecue makes entertaining easy.

The aft deck is designed as a relaxed alfresco living zone, flowing seamlessly into the saloon to effectively double the main‑deck entertaining area.

On the Daybridge, owners enjoy an additional social space with a large lounge, wet bar and commanding helm, offering panoramic views and an elevated cruising experience.

Refined Interior Living

The Belize 55 takes the concept of a semi-custom motor yacht to a new level, a yacht that delivers a new sense of space and comfort, creating an atmosphere of understated luxury throughout.

The accommodation deck comprises three beautifully appointed staterooms and two bathrooms, including a full‑beam master suite with ensuite, generous storage and abundant natural light.

Comfort, privacy and liveability are prioritised, making the Belize 55 equally suited to extended cruising or relaxed weekends aboard.

Intelligent Technology and Peace of Mind

An array of smart technology is available on the Belize 55 that makes boating easier and more pleasurable including Sentinel remote monitoring, comprehensive camera systems, Starlink connectivity and optional stabilisation solutions. These innovations enhance safety, convenience and confidence both underway and at rest.

Every Belize is supported by Riviera’s industry‑leading warranty program, underscoring the company’s long‑term commitment to quality, reliability and owner support.

A Modern Classic

The Belize 55 Sedan and Daybridge represent the evolution of a true classic, timeless in style, intelligent in design and handcrafted for owners who value authenticity, individuality, and excellence.
