International sales for Riviera 75

It has been a busy start to the New Year for Riviera, with two of its flagship 75 Enclosed Flybridges under construction for owners in Asia and Dubai.

Riviera’s international sales director, Chris McCafferty, said it was an exciting time at Riviera with two 75s in production.

"Riviera is going very well and the fact that we have two of our flagship models under construction and many other larger models also in production is certainly a positive start to 2014," Mr McCafferty said.

"The boating industry is getting smarter and with new technology such as digital switching, integrated thrusters and joystick controls, boats are becoming easier to operate, easier to run and easier to manoeuvre, which I believe has encouraged people to buy larger boats.

"The demand for big boats is certainly increasing and we are currently quoting several other 75 clients for 2015 delivery boats. Riviera’s reputation for building high quality, high performance boats with superior finishes is certainly recognised by international buyers who are coming down under to buy their new dream boat.

"We are increasing our team of master craftsmen to meet this growing demand for Riviera’s large boats and will display a new 75 at the Festival of Boating in May and Sydney International Boat Show in August."

Riviera says the new flagship 75 Enclosed Flybridge capitalises on 34 years of boat-building experience and has been a particularly popular model with six 70 Flybridge boats produced prior to the hull extension to 75 feet, where a further three boats have been sold.

The 75 has a range of engine options to suit an individual owner’s requirements. Hull numbers two and three feature an 8600 litre fuel tank capacity and twin MAN 12v 1800hp engines with a cruise speed of around 26 knots.

The flybridge offers a first class entertainment space complete with wet bar, impressive forward helm station and plenty of seating.

The aft door and awning window open the saloon to the cockpit creating one massive entertaining space with an aft facing mezzanine lounge and electric barbecue. The cockpit is ideal for fishing enthusiasts with an alloy plate reinforced into the floor for a game chair, storage bins, optional live-bait tank and toe kicks moulded into the bottom of the coamings.

Below decks, the 75 offers accommodation for up to 10 people in four cabins, including the full-beam master stateroom with king-size island bed, his and hers walk-in wardrobes, two-seater lounge and 32”LCD TV and five-speaker sound system, and very generous ensuite bathroom.
