Riviera 57 Enclosed Flybridge - Auckland Premiere
The three-stateroom/two-bathroom Riviera 57 Enclosed Flybridge is a stylish bluewater motor yacht.

“The 57 Enclosed Flybridge is a powerful combination of quality and design," said Mr Longhurst. "An inspiring cockpit and mezzanine layout creates an entirely new indoor/outdoor living experience while the aft deck of the large flybridge offers yet another place to relax.”

The mezzanine includes an L-shape dinette to port and two barbecue units on the starboard side. A sliding glass door and large awning window connect this space with an entertainer’s galley in the aft quarter of the saloon. Its gourmet galley is equipped with three-burner induction cooktop, convection oven, four drawer fridges and two freezer drawers, a dishwasher and a wet bar opposite. Forward of the galley is the dinette with U-shaped seating and, on the starboard side, a large L-shaped lounge.

The fully enclosed flybridge is designed with a forward helm station including central helm seat and starboard companion seat. State of the art electronics include innovative Glass Bridge touch-screen navigation and CZone digital switching systems.

The accommodation includes a full-beam master stateroom amidships with a king-size bed and large hull windows with opening portlights for cross-flow ventilation. An ensuite bathroom and walk-in wardrobe are in a space aft of the stateroom. The guest cabin forward of the master includes adult-size pullman-style bunks. Forward, the VIP guest stateroom includes a queen-size island bed, twin cedar-lined wardrobes and hull windows.

Engine options include Volvo Penta IPS pod drives with twin D11 (533kW/725hp) or D13 (662kW/900hp) engines and joystick controls or CAT C12.9 (2 x 735kW/1,000hp) engines and shaft drives with bow thruster and optional Express Joystick System.

Riviera 4800 Sport Yacht - Auckland Premiere 

Riviera's Sport Yacht hallmarks are embedded in the DNA of the 4800: sleek styling, luxurious single-level entertaining layout and superb sea-keeping capabilities.

“From the boarding platform and tender garage, through twin transom gates to the cockpit with its generous seating on two lounges, full wet bar and double barbecue, this is a sport yacht designed for entertaining,” said Mr McCafferty. “An entertainment zone on the forward deck offers a large sun pad with folding back rest."

“Natural light fills the expansive interior living space with its aft galley and spacious dinette opposite. An electric salon sunroof slides open for additional light and fresh air, or an amazing view of the stars at night.”

The command centre of the 4800 Sport Yacht features the latest Volvo Penta and Garmin Glass Cockpit navigation and systems monitoring, with two 12-inch multi-function screens.

The 4800’s accommodation layout gives owners a large atrium lower lounge that can comfortably seat up to five adults and provide additional sleeping for one adult. The luxurious master stateroom forward features large hull windows for natural lighting, a queen-size walk-around bed and a contemporary styled ensuite. The guest cabin amidships features three adult-sized single beds. There’s the option of the two port side beds sliding together to create a double.  A second bathroom is on the port side immediately forward of this cabin.

Base power for the 4800 is the Volvo Penta D8-IPS700 propulsion system with twin D8 engines and IPS20 pod-drives (405kW/550hp each). The D8-IPS800 system featuring twin D8 engines and IPS20 pod-drives (441kW/600hp each) is optional. All Volvo Penta systems are covered by an industry-leading five-year warranty.
