Australia's premium luxury motor yacht builder, Riviera, is proud to showcase three sophisticated Sport Yachts at the United States Powerboat Show in Annapolis on Chesapeake Bay, Maryland, from 11 to 14 October.

In partnership with our Riviera and Belize representative Grande Yachts International, Riviera will display the 6000, 5400 and 3600 Sport Yachts at City Dock.

Grande Yachts International principal Bryan Braley said: "The three Riviera Sport Yachts on display offer a range of accommodation options with a consistent theme throughout - sleek styling, a luxurious single-level living and entertaining layout and superb sea-keeping capabilities.

"From the opulent 6000 to the easy living style of the 3600 Riviera Sport Yacht, the range provides an idyllic environment to share leisure time with family and friends."

The sleek and sophisticated Riviera 6000 Sport Yacht has been described as a high-performance blue-water vessel akin to a luxury resort.

She is supremely comfortable with clever alfresco lifestyle features and ultramodern technology as well as palatial appointments.

Mr Braley said: "She includes an impressive array of features including an hydraulic boarding platform and large open cockpit with a gourmet barbecue unit, and a colossal-sized sun pad on her forward deck."

The cockpit connects seamlessly with the spacious salon through a large sliding glass door and awning window. Inside, past the fully equipped U-shape aft galley, the salon is flooded with natural light through wrap-around windows, electric sunroofs and fixed skylights.

Her sports-styled helm features the touch-screen Glass Cockpit navigation and systems monitoring as well as touch-screen CZone digital switching and a joystick for superior handling and low-speed maneuvering.

The 6000 Sport Yacht features up to four luxurious staterooms, including a full beam master amidships. Options include three staterooms plus an accommodation deck lounge or the impressive Presidential design that provides an enlarged floor plan for the full-beam master suite, two further staterooms as well as three bathrooms and a convenient aft utility room or crew cabin."

Base power is the Volvo Penta D11-IPS950 propulsion system with twin turbo diesel engines and IPS20 pod-drives (533kW/725hp each) which offer impressive fuel efficiency, low noise levels, long cruising range and high top-end speed.

With Riviera, all Volvo Penta system drives, engines and electronics are covered by an industry-leading five-year limited warranty to complement Riviera's structural five-year limited warranty.

The three-stateroom, two-bathroom Riviera 5400 Sport Yacht is an evolution of the luxury single-level living design for which Riviera's Sport Yacht series is highly awarded.

The forward deck features a cushioned and upholstered sun lounge and, in the cockpit, a sunroof slides open at the touch of a button so you can also enjoy the sunshine out of the wind. A large tender garage is accessed from the deep boarding platform.

The entertainer's cockpit flows through to the aft gourmet galley and spacious salon through a large sliding glass door and awning window that opens out and places the chef right in the center of the social environment.

The sports-inspired centerline helm console forward provides excellent visibility and ergonomics. An L-shape lounge in the port forward quarter beside the helm offers guests a panoramic view.

The accommodation deck of the 5400 Sport Yacht features a luxurious midships full-beam master stateroom with ensuite, a spacious VIP guest stateroom forward and the option for either a port side guest stateroom or an accommodation atrium lounge.

Base power for the 5400 Sport Yacht is the Volvo Penta D11-IPS800 propulsion system with twin D11 turbo diesel engines and IPS20 pod-drives (460kW/626hp each). Owners have the option of the D11-IPS950 system featuring twin D11 engines and IPS20 pod-drives (533kW/725hp each).

The 3600 Sport Yacht epitomizes easy living and an idyllic environment to share leisure time with family and friends.

Mr Braley said: "She offers clean lines, an open and bright interior, proven technology and a real emphasis on relaxed single-level entertaining.

"This is perfectly blended with Riviera's legendary sea-keeping capabilities and spirited performance."

The 3600 Sport Yacht features a rear awning window between the cockpit and the salon and aft galley to create a welcoming indoor-outdoor experience. The fully equipped galley is on the starboard side with an L-shape lounge opposite. The helm, with twin seating, is forward of the galley.

Accommodation for the Riviera 3600 consists of a master stateroom forward with a large island bed and an aft full-beam guest stateroom with a double and single bed, catering for up to five adults on the lower deck.

She is powered by Volvo Penta's D4-IPS450 system with twin D6 engines (2 x 243kW/330hp) and IPS10 pod-drive units.
