42nd Dusseldorf Boat Show - Riviera's 5000SY takes the stage

by Stephen Milne on 20 Jan 2011 Riviera, Australia’s most awarded pleasure boat builder will for the first time showcase its spectacular new 5000 Sport Yacht at the Dusseldorf 42nd International Boat Show held this weekend.

With four Riviera Dealers attending the show from Italy, France, Spain and Croatia and an impressive stand showcasing the Riviera 5000 Sportyacht with Zeus drives and the entire model line of 20 different models from 36 to 85 feet across four model series, Riviera is optimistic of positive results at Germany’s premier boat show.

Covering more than 2.35 million square feet, the boot Dusseldorf International Boat Show is one of the largest boat shows worldwide attracting more than 240,000 visitors from 60 countries.

Europe, Asia and Middle East director of sales and marketing, David Taylor, said Dusseldorf was the major in-door show in Europe with customers travelling from all over the globe to attend.

'All the Riviera dealers attending the show have received strong interest in the new 5000 Sport Yacht which has sold 26 boats since its release, so I am sure people will enjoy the chance to get on board and look at Riviera’s ultimate entertainer,' Mr Taylor said.

'We look forward to showcasing the new 5000 Sport Yacht for the first time at the Dusseldorf International Boat Show and we appreciate the generosity of her Croatian owners who have loaned us the boat for the duration of the show.'

The new 5000 Sport Yacht with Zeus pod drives offers up to 30 per cent improved fuel economy as well as 15 per cent faster cruise speed and 15 per cent faster top speed and thanks to joystick technology, the 5000 also offers easy manoeuvring in close quarters.

The two or three cabin, two bathroom luxury cruiser was built for entertaining with an aft galley, huge electric sunroof above the helm, and a luxurious six-seater leather lounge in the air-conditioned saloon which fully opens to the cockpit to create one large alfresco, relaxation and entertaining platform - ideal for socialising with friends and family.

The 5000 Sport Yacht also has the option of a downstairs lounge in lieu of the starboard cabin area.

The Riviera dealers attending the Dusseldorf International Boat Show include Italy's IBS, France’s Villanova Ship, Spain's IMS, and Croatia's Nautica Centar Website
