WORLD PREMIERE – RIVIERA’S 72 SPORTS MOTOR YACHT – SERIES II.

by admin
Riviera celebrates two World Premieres at this year’s Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show. The new generation 72 Sports Motor Yacht – Series II joins the exciting new 4300 Sports Express as part of Riviera’s spectacular 12 yacht showcase at this year’s event. Riviera owner, Rodney Longhurst gave an insight into the development of the 72 Series II. “When we launched the 72 Sports Motor Yacht in 2018, it answered the demand for a luxurious, long-range motor yacht that excelled in all water sports. That demand is stronger than ever, and today our Sports Motor Yacht Collection has grown to six magnificent models from 46 to 72 feet. Of course, over that time technology has advanced, allowing us to incorporate proven innovations in the new 72 and across our range of 24 individual models. Innovations that further enhance the ease and pleasure of boating with Riviera. “Feedback from our worldwide family of owners has helped to influence our amazing team of engineers and designers to undertake a holistic refinement approach to the exterior and interior creating a new aesthetic that is both contemporary and timeless. In essence, the new 72 Series II is even more functional, more luxurious and more enjoyable; delivering even further exhilarating sports performance and blue water capability that has positioned the Riviera Sports Motor Yacht in a league of its own.”
A New Benchmark for Excellence
Riviera’s 72 Sports Motor Yacht Series I set the measure of a blue-water yacht that has it all; walk-around side decks, foredeck lounge and entertaining, all-weather alfresco deck, luxurious saloon with internal staircase to a fully-enclosed air-conditioned flybridge and state-of-the-art helm. Luxury accommodation included a choice of three or four staterooms, four bathrooms, an opulent full-beam master suite and versatile utility room or crew cabin. Engineering excellence matched her sports performance to deliver a smooth, quiet and efficient ride. And of course, a wide, open cockpit to enable all manner of water sports enjoyment. Now the 72 Sports Motor Yacht Series II redefines all these essentials and raises the benchmark for excellence.
Step aboard easily via transom doors that open to extend the spacious cockpit, ideal for water sports and entertaining. Features include a BBQ, wet bar, large freezer, and teak steps leading to the alfresco deck. An innovative hydraulic swim platform can be lowered or raised to form boarding steps, perfect for variable marina heights or water access.
The alfresco area expands the saloon space, with lounges, fold-out timber tables, insulated storage, a bar with fridges, and a drop-down Smart TV, all designed for elegant outdoor living. A well-equipped U-shaped galley with premium appliances flows seamlessly into the luxurious saloon, which features leather lounges, a dining area, and cinema-like entertainment with retractable Smart TV and blinds. A portside door offers deck access. Dual-purpose space for tender storage and entertaining, featuring a U-shaped lounge, timber tables, cool box, stereo, and optional awning. The enclosed flybridge offers serene views, a lounge, Smart TV, fridge, and optional double bed. The aft flybridge deck is an all-weather retreat with lounge, wet bar, joystick station for docking/fishing, and optional enclosures. Equipped with advanced touchscreen controls, leather helm chairs, and panoramic visibility. A third helm chair is optional. Twin Disc Express Positioning System offers precise control with GPS, thrusters, and proportional engine management for effortless station-keeping.

Choose between a four-stateroom “Classic” or a three-stateroom “Presidential” layout. Both offer a full-beam master with electric king bed, luxury finishes, smart storage, and ensuite designs for optimal privacy and comfort. Separate access to a crew cabin or utility space with day head/shower. Ideal for guests, crew, or storing gear without disrupting the main interior. Washer and dryer located conveniently for extended cruising. Includes Sentinel remote monitoring, solar charging, stabilisation options, Starlink internet, integrated camera system, and user-friendly helm displays.

Crafted with world-class naval architecture and tank testing, the hull delivers a smooth, dry ride. Twin V12 MAN engines (1800 or 2000 hp) offer powerful, efficient performance. Accessible via the crew cabin or cockpit, the engine room is full-height and meticulously engineered. Backed by Riviera’s leading warranty package: five years on engines/drives, seven-year structural, and two-year express coverage.

“We look forward to welcoming Riviera owners and admirers aboard our premium collection of luxury motor yachts at the Riviera showcase on H Arm at the Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show from May 22,” said Riviera owner Rodney Longhurst.
