Designed for maximum enjoyment

You get so much more with the Sports Express. A sports deck for lounging, dining, and entertaining, a sun deck for relaxing at anchor and a sea deck for all your family water sports. If you want to stay overnight or longer the living and accommodation deck comfortably sleeps five adults with a private master stateroom, aft cabin, lavish bathroom with separate shower, main galley and TV lounge.

Inboard diesel propulsion

The Sports Express power is twin diesel Volvo Penta IPS 600's rated at 440hp or IPS 650’s rated at 480hp each that will deliver over 30 knots at WOT to get you there and back effortlessly and economically. And this is where the 4300 excels. When you arrive, the entire stern of the yacht is free and open to allow exceptional access to the water; for swimming, snorkelling, paddle boarding, fishing or simply relaxing at the water’s edge.

Innovative sea deck

The boarding platform provides excellent boarding access when your tender is secured and the hydraulic swim platform makes it easy to launch or retrieve all your watercraft. On the Sports Express, an innovative and articulating design transforms the boarding platform into your own private sea deck complete with a step that doubles as a seat when the platform is partly submerged - perfect for children, all water sports, or just a fantastic way to cool down on a hot
summer’s day.

Sensational sports deck

A luxurious all-weather living space that combines the open-air freedom of a covered cockpit with the sanctuary of a saloon. This superb lounging and dining area features a well-equipped bar and meals centre with a drawer fridge and icemaker, a solid timber folding table that lowers to create a beautiful big day bed, reverse cycle air-conditioning, and an LED Smart TV that folds down from the headlining. And your self-draining sports deck is designed to be hosed out for a quick, easy clean-up at the end of a great day.

At anchor, the sun deck becomes a popular relaxation and entertaining area with a glorious triple sunbed always in demand. Thoughtful additions include drink holders on either side and the convenience of a table that folds out from under the forward-facing bow lounge. There’s a cool box for drinks, stereo speakers for your playlist, USB charge points and the option of a euro style awning that stows easily when it’s time to weigh anchor.

Riviera 4600 Sport Yacht Best of Boats European Finalist

The Riviera 4600 Sport Yacht Platinum Edition was announced at the recent Cannes Yachting Festival in France as a finalist in the Best of Boats Award 2024, the world’s largest annual international motorboat award.

Riviera Australia is the only non-European yacht builder and one of only five yachts to be named as a finalist in the ‘Best of Big Boats’ category for the prestigious awards. The other countries represented in this category are Spain, the United Kingdom, Sweden and Greece.

The 2024 awards will be announced and presented at a special ceremony that will take place on Thursday, November 28, during the Boat & Fun Boat Show in Berlin which runs from November 28 to December 1.

The Best of Boats Award is the largest award for motorboats in the numbers of countries represented, together with the number of magazines and judging panel members involved. As the only worldwide motorboat award, the Best of Boats Award covers all European and international watersports regions.

The Best of Boats Award was launched in 2014 by boating journalists from many countries and different editorial offices with two things in common: very extensive experience as boat testers and a particular interest in the practical needs of boaters.

Riviera Australia owner Rodney Longhurst said the acknowledgement as a finalist placed Riviera motor yachts among the leading yacht builders in the world and was recognition of the company’s constant commitment to world-class quality and craftsmanship.

“This is one of the most respected boating awards in the world – and is a fantastic accolade for our amazing 900-strong team. We are all immensely honoured to be the only finalist from outside of Europe,” Mr Longhurst said.

“We are always striving to be different and better. Being named as a finalist in the Best of Boats Award really highlights the dedication of our extremely talented team in designing and creating luxury motor yachts of distinction.”

Riviera to premiere 6800

Australia’s premium luxury motor yacht builder, Riviera, will take pride of place at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show from October 30 to November 3 with the Americas Premiere of its flagship 6800 Sport Yacht Platinum Edition.

The magnificent new model will flank a fleet of 11 Riviera motor yachts showcasing its outstanding collection from 39 to 78 feet, with models from its awarded Sport Yacht, SUV, Sports Motor Yacht and Belize collections on display.

The Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show is expecting more than 100,000 people to attend the five-day marine expo, the largest in-water show in the world.

Riviera Australia owner Rodney Longhurst said Fort Lauderdale was the pinnacle of the boating world and Riviera was among the leading exhibitors.

“Our motor yachts are respected around the world,” Mr Longhurst said. “The Fort Lauderdale show gives us the opportunity to showcase Australian craftsmanship to the world.

“Our meticulous design and engineering, with luxurious interiors, are world-class, and there are more than 44 years of evolution invested in every new Riviera yacht.”

Riviera 6800 Sport Yacht Platinum Edition – Americas Premiere

The magnificent new 6800 Sport Yacht is a result of three years and more than 45,000 man-hours of meticulous development by the Riviera design group in collaboration with awarded superyacht designer Luca Vallebona.

She has so many separate entertaining areas that family groups, friends and couples can all find their own space. Sunshine or moonlight on the forward deck tends to attract more casual occasions. The expansive and protected aft deck is popular regardless of the weather, and when you want to enjoy the sunshine or stars, simply open the sunroof.

Sliding open the glass saloon door and lowering the aft window connects the saloon and aft deck as one vast living space. The superbly equipped U-shaped galley aft on the port side includes premium appliances beautifully integrated into handcrafted timber joinery.
