The newest addition to Riviera’s internationally acclaimed Sports Motor Yacht collection, the 64 SMY, has just been launched as she approaches her world premiere in June.
Work on the final fit-out is now advancing by the skilled team at Riviera, Australia’s largest luxury motor yacht manufacturer, as two years of planning, precision design and engineering by the company’s specialist team nears completion.
“The 64 SMY has been designed equally for blue-water cruising and long-term liveability as much as for luxurious long-weekend escapes,” said Riviera owner Rodney Longhurst.
“Now that she is on the water, these first glimpses truly highlight her graceful design and impressive technology, inherent to our very latest motor yacht.
“It’s a proud moment for our dedicated team members who have shared this journey from the early planning stages to her launch where now she is really shining.
“Riviera’s engineering advances and technology that makes boating easier and more enjoyable are just a few of the highpoints of our growing Sports Motor Yacht collection, and the 64 SMY is no exception. I’m extremely proud of what our team has achieved.”
Powered by twin MAN V12 turbo diesels, each delivering 1550hp, the 64 SMY adopts the efficiencies and engineering precision of the V-drive system created for Riviera’s 68 and 72 SMY to deliver quiet, effortless and smooth acceleration to her top speed of more than 30 knots.
Behind her elegant lines is a luxury motor yacht that optimises onboard space with amenity and functionality that is enhanced by Riviera’s renowned superior craftsmanship and finishes.
The 64 Sports Motor Yacht will give boating enthusiasts, particularly blue-water cruising families, the long-term liveability and luxury they desire in a 64-foot model.
Versatility and practicality are evident from the moment you step aboard the Riviera 64 Sport Motor Yacht, her wide-open cockpit can be optioned for a range of different water sports.
The cockpit leads up to the mezzanine level where to port is an L-shaped day lounge and Al fresco dining will be enjoyed in the L-shaped lounge area to starboard, which includes a drop-leaf teak table.
The mezzanine can be enclosed with optional clears and serviced by air-conditioning ducts for maximum comfort in all-weather conditions considerably extending the living area and creating another room.
The outdoor dinette is the perfect entrée for the aft C-shaped galley, which is immediately to starboard inside the 64’s saloon.
Plush seating is provided on the port side of the saloon, with the lounge also storing three director’s chairs to accompany the seating at the starboard-side dinette or for use in the al fresco mezzanine dining area.
The accommodation deck features four staterooms and three bathrooms. The VIP stateroom in the forepeak enjoys views from large hull side windows. The VIP en-suite bathroom is located to aft to starboard.
Form and functionality combine seamlessly in the superb helm station, which has twin leather seats and central helm. There is a commanding view over the 64’s foredeck, with its versatile, innovative and easily accessed socialising area comprising a C-shaped lounge area and generous floor space.
