Riviera, Australia’s most awarded pleasure boat builder has just completed, wrapped and shipped three of its newest 5000 Sport Yachts across the globe. All three will be a first for the Americas, Turkish and Croatian markets.
Riviera dealers Navtika Centar Nava in Croatia and IVI Yacht Sales in Istanbul, Turkey sold both Sport Yachts sight unseen to the new owners who will no doubt be cruising the Mediterranean during the summer months, while the third 5000 Sport Yacht has been shipped to Florida where it will be on display at the annual Fort Lauderdale Boat Show which starts on October 28.
Riviera’s dealer relationship manager Curt Goldring said the 5000 Sport Yacht was a favourite among European owners for its classic styling, one level living, generous three cabin, two bathroom accommodation and exhilarating performance.
“The fact that the 5000 has a tender garage, walk around side decks, a large sunpad on the foredeck and a large cockpit and boarding platform makes it a much sought after vessel,” Curt said.
“The Zeus drives not only gives the 5000 impressive performance capabilities but also allows for a huge aft guest cabin with both a queen and single berth as standard layout.
“It also comes with a hydraulic swim platform as standard, making it easy to launch the tender and carry a personal water craft if required. The rear awning window and door opens the saloon to the aft deck bringing the outdoors in and making this an extremely social boat, perfect for entertaining.
“We are confident that this model will be extremely well received in Florida and given its success in Australia and Europe having launched 25 since its release late last year, we anticipate strong sales and interest at the upcoming Fort Lauderdale Boat Show.”
Riviera offers 20 different models from 36 to 85 feet across four model series Flybridge, Sport Yacht, Offshore Express and Motor Yachts.
