The largest and most luxurious Riviera ever, the supremely seaworthy 77 Enclosed Flybridge yacht will be showcased at next month’s Dubai International Boat Show. This lovely, high-performance vessel offers a mix of luxury cruising and fishing capabilities with all the comforts of a world-class luxury resort.
Riviera is currently working on the construction of the fourth 77 Enclosed Flybridge in their facility on Australia’s Gold Coast, with the first three yachts already being enjoyed by their Middle Eastern Owners.
Boasting sleek lines, the 77 Enclosed Flybridge is fitted with striking safety glass feature panels that visually link her contemporary, recessed hull windows to provide a sophisticated and stylish hull finish.
“Stepping aboard, you’ll appreciate the 77’s expansive 193.6 square-foot (17.99m2) cockpit, elegant 49.5 square-foot (22.59m2) mezzanine and four staterooms including full-beam master, along with four bathrooms and an optional, self-contained crew cabin,” said Riviera chairman and owner Rodney Longhurst.
“The state-of-the-art, fully enclosed flybridge features a forward helm while an external rear tournament station on the rear deck ensures clear cockpit observation when docking, or when the fishing action is underway. An optional massive and lavish sun pad and casual dining/sitting area can be located on the foredeck, enhancing her luxury lifestyle and relaxation attributes even further.
There is also upgraded air-conditioning throughout to cater to the extremely high temperatures in the Middle East and our owners also appreciate the fact that all exposed structural areas have undergone additional heat-curing treatments so they can withstand the harsh climactic conditions of the region.”
Measuring 24,74m (81’2’’) in length over all, the 77 Enclosed Flybridge is run by twin MAN V12 shaft-drive engines (2 x 1900hp/1397kW) which, under full load, achieve a cruising range of 556 nautical miles at 26,4 knots with 10 per cent fuel reserve.
