Riviera teases all-new luxury flybridge cruiser

The new luxury motor cruiser was teased in a short video posted to social media over the weekend.

It shows the profile of a new flybridge model that is likely to be revealed as the three-level sibling to the Riviera 465 SUV sedan launched earlier this year and is yet to evolve with an upper bridge deck.

Riviera has teased it will officially unveil the new model in a ceremony planned for 6pm on Saturday, December 10.

The size and style of the hull windows indicate the new model is likely to be a new member of the Sports Motor Yacht range. If it is a flybridge version of the 465 SUV, the new model will create a unique entry point for the Sports Motor Yacht line-up that includes the 50, 64, 68 and 72 Sports Motor Yachts.

The single-level Rivera 465 SUV was launched earlier this year at the 2022 Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show. 

If the new model is a flybridge version of this motor yacht, it is likely to match the Riviera 465 SUV’s 15.9-metre length overall proportions, which includes a wide and open cockpit and a good-size mezzanine level.

Below decks, the Riviera 465 SUV has accommodations to sleep up to six people in comfort, with two bathrooms.

The sedan-styled Riviera 465 SUV finds favour with owners who do not want to have to walk upstairs to a bridge deck, or for owners who live in canal systems and need lower clearances to sneak under road bridges.

If the new model is a new member of the Sports Motor Yacht family it will provide Riviera with a flybridge model that will slip below the $2 million mark, making it the cheapest way into the flybridge motor yacht family.
