Riviera showcased two significant new luxury motor yachts at the Newport International Boat Show, just held from 17–20 September 2026, with the world premiere of the Belize 55 Daybridge and the Newport debut of the Riviera 4300 Sports Express. The two models highlight different sides of Riviera’s design philosophy, combining craftsmanship, innovation and owner-focused luxury.
World Premiere: Belize 55 Daybridge
Responding to strong demand for the Belize collection, Riviera unveiled the Belize 55 Daybridge, blending traditional yachting elegance with contemporary design, advanced technology and handcrafted finishes.
Powered by twin Volvo Penta D11 IPS 950 engines, the Belize 55 delivers a soft, dry ride, strong offshore capability, fuel efficiency, and effortless joystick manoeuvrability.
Its Daybridge configuration adds an elevated entertaining space with panoramic views, lounge seating, wet bar and helm station. Below, the aft deck and saloon create a seamless indoor-outdoor entertaining area, complemented by a hydraulic swim platform, water sports garage and integrated barbecue.
Accommodation includes three staterooms and two bathrooms, with a full-beam master suite designed for extended cruising.
Onboard technology includes Sentinel remote monitoring, integrated cameras, Starlink connectivity and optional stabilisation. Limited production will help maintain the model’s exclusivity.
Newport Debut: Riviera 4300 Sports Express
Also making its Newport debut was the Riviera 4300 Sports Express, a versatile 43-footer designed to take owners from relaxed day boating through to weekends and longer adventures.
Powered by twin Volvo Penta IPS engines, the 4300 combines strong performance, efficiency and joystick-controlled manoeuvrability.
One of its standout features is the articulated boarding platform, which transforms into a private sea deck and provides easy access to the water for swimming, paddleboarding, diving and other water sports.
The single-level sports deck includes opposing lounges, a wet bar, alfresco dining area, electric sunroof and all-weather protection. Forward, a spacious sun deck provides additional relaxation areas and panoramic views.
Below deck, the layout includes a fully equipped galley, master stateroom, private guest cabin and premium bathroom, making the 4300 well suited to extended weekends away.
Technology includes Sentinel remote monitoring, CZONE digital switching, integrated cameras and lithium iron phosphate battery systems.
Together, the Belize 55 Daybridge and Riviera 4300 Sports Express gave Newport visitors a look at two very different interpretations of Riviera’s luxury boating philosophy — one focused on timeless cruising refinement and the other on versatile, water-focused living.
