Australia's world-class luxury motor yacht builder, Riviera, will proudly present an inspiring seven-model red-carpet showcase, including two World Premieres, at the Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show in Queensland beginning on 24 May, 2018.

The on-water display features three sophisticated Sport Yachts - the 4800, 5400 and the flagship 6000 model - the blue water 52 Enclosed Flybridge and a classic Belize 54 Daybridge.

The sporty and adventurous 395 SUV and the magnificent 72 Sports Motor Yacht will both have their World Premieres at the show.

Riviera owner Rodney Longhurst said the Riviera and Belize range of designs appeal to a breadth of motor yachting pursuits and cruising aspirations.

Every model in our Sanctuary Cove showcase will feature the very latest in marine technology, including Glass Cockpit navigation and systems monitoring, CZone digital switching and joystick controls.

A substantial swim platform, tender garage and an alfresco cockpit design that merges seamlessly with a lavish interior with fully equipped aft galley and opulent and expansive saloon are common traits of the Riviera Sport Yacht collection. Each model also includes the benefits of a wide walk-around side deck leading to a foredeck that features a comfortable sun lounge.

Owners enjoy spirited and efficient performance through Volvo Penta's IPS twin turbo diesel propulsion and pod drives along with its joystick controls for superior handling and low-speed maneuvering.
