One of Australia’s luxury motor yacht builders, Riviera, will showcase the highly versatile new 4300 Sports Express in her European premiere as the centrepiece of a display at the Cannes Yachting Festival in France from September 9 to 14, 2025. The Riviera showcase will also include yachts from the 4-model sophisticated Sport Yacht Platinum Edition and the 6-model adventurous SUV collection.
Riviera’s new 4300 Sports Express is a highly versatile luxury motor yacht that offers a great sense of fun. She includes a sports deck for lounging, dining, and entertaining, a sun deck forward for relaxing at anchor and a sea deck aft, superbly designed for all types of water sports. Riviera Australia owner Rodney Longhurst said Riviera and its European dealer representatives are delighted to showcase these yachts from the exceptional fleet of 22 individual models from 39 to 78 feet, where every yacht shares a 45-year history of evolution.
Mr Longhurst said: “We are proud that Riviera yachts have been sought after in Europe since 1985 for their blue-water heritage, superb luxury and high quality. “We look forward to demonstrating the amazing ease of boating that our team has created, which is now being enjoyed by more than 6,000 Riviera owners around the world.
“Visitors to our display will be able to appreciate our skilled craftsmanship and precise engineering that has earned Riviera international regard. This is exemplified in superbly appointed accommodation decks, skilfully designed saloon decks that offer fine alfresco living and entertaining and our fastidiously planned engine rooms.”
The new 4300 Sports Express excels as a yacht that offers free and open spaces to allow exceptional access to the water for maximum enjoyment. The boarding platform lowers to become a sea deck. There is a fully equipped alfresco barbecue centre across the transom plus a bar and meals centre on the sports deck and the fully equipped main galley. The hose-out sports deck is a superb lounging and dining space with its own TV and air-conditioning. The forward sun deck boasts a triple sun pad with a separate forward-facing lounge with fold-out table. The luxurious accommodation deck offers a private master stateroom, guest cabin, bathroom, toilet, separate full-size shower, TV, lounge-dining area and the main galley. Power for the 4300 Sports Express is a choice of twin diesel Volvo Penta IPS 600s rated at 324kW (440hp) each or IPS 650s rated at 353kW (480hp).
