Riviera has celebrated the launch of its latest model, the 4600 Sport Yacht Platinum Edition, with fitting fanfare and festivities.

27 April 2022

In a proudly Australian premiere, 50 Riviera team members have welcomed the 4600 Sport Yacht Platinum Edition in a unique reveal at the company’s Gold Coast facility; an enormous multi-panel Riviera emblem was rotated to reveal the Australian flag in celebration of the new model.

The Riviera design team, in collaboration with 4D Designs, has created a yacht with exceptional interior volume, exterior style and bluewater performance.

The new model includes a raft of Platinum Edition features and luxury appointments, including premium fabrics, high-gloss walnut timber cabinetry, in-vogue lounges and plush carpet underfoot in all staterooms.

The hardtop and targa arch are presented in Riviera Platinum along with electronic arrays, air vents and boot tops rendered in a statement black finish.

She provides magnificent accommodation, with three staterooms including a full-beam master amidships that offers head-height comfort. Large hull windows bathe the space in natural light while opening portholes offer cross-ventilation.
