Research 2020 - Riviera Boats - 4800 Sport Yacht

Australia's most-awarded builder of luxury motor yachts has just announced an inspired new addition to its growing Sport Yacht collection: the elegant Riviera 4800.

With her World Premiere scheduled for the 2016 Sydney International Boat Show in July, the impressive new 4800 Sport Yacht will appeal to a wide spectrum of boating enthusiasts given her design and innovation, and most certainly will excite a new generation to enjoy Riviera's luxury life afloat.

The 4800 Sport Yacht – with two staterooms and two bathrooms – proudly takes external design cues from the Riviera 6000 and 5400 models, for which there is extremely strong worldwide demand.

The 4800 has all the Riviera Sport Yacht hallmarks – sleek styling, leisurely single-level living and entertaining features, premium levels of luxury and superb sea-keeping capabilities – embedded deeply in her DNA.

For the new 4800 Sport Yacht, Riviera will introduce a robust and responsive new hull that perfectly matches the state-of-the-art Volvo Penta Inboard Propulsion System (IPS).

This means owners will enjoy Riviera's spirited performance as well as all the benefits IPS, including joystick maneuverability and the innovative Glass Cockpit navigation and systems monitoring features that make boating today with Riviera even easier and more enjoyable.

Power and Performance
The 4800 Sport Yacht will feature Riviera's signature clean and thoughtfully laid-out engine room with acoustic and thermal insulation, accessed through a forward cockpit hatch with gas strut and heavy duty stainless steel lock down.

The Volvo Penta diesel engines and IPS pod-drives are set wide apart for responsive steering and stability. This drive package offers spirited performance and fuel-efficient cruising economy.


Stepping Below
Stepping down to the 4800's accommodation deck atrium, the full headroom achieved by clever design is immediately evident.

The 4800's flexible accommodation layout gives owners a large atrium lower lounge that can comfortably seat up to five adults.

This space is the perfect teenager's retreat, games center … or even a quiet work space. At night it can also provide sleeping for an extra guest.

Natural light filters into the atrium through from the saloon and the fixed starboard-side hull window, and an overhead hatch opens for fresh air and features a flyscreen or block-out screen when required.

Forward is the luxurious master stateroom featuring a queen-sized walk-around bed with innerspring mattress and volumes of storage underneath, with drawers and gas struts for easy access.

The master stateroom also features additional storage cabinets with positive locking hardware outboard, with a cedar-lined hanging locker and automatic lighting to starboard and a cedar-lined storage locker with shelves to port. This stateroom has its own private en-suite with contemporary styling and an overhead hatch for fresh air, which also screens for privacy when required.

The VIP guest stateroom amidships features full headroom at its entry, where there is a cedar-lined hanging locker at the entry, as well as three adult-sized single beds. There's the option of sliding together the two port-side beds to create a double.

The long, fixed hull windows on both sides of the guest stateroom capture all the natural light you'll need, and there are opening portholes to port and starboard that are alarmed to the helm so they are not left open while underway.

The day head, on the port-side, also features contemporary styling and premium appointments. Its linen cupboard has a convenient bi-fold door that opens to reveal space for an optional washer-dryer.


Stepping Inside
The new 4800 Sport Yacht is at the vanguard of on-water luxury motor yacht design courtesy of her interior spaciousness, premium comfort and practical lifestyle features.

Her rear bulkhead is tempered glass and incorporates a sliding glass door set in a strong marine-grade stainless steel frame. And a large awning window opens out from the spacious saloon to the cockpit, creating a seamlessly flow from boarding platform through to the front windscreen.

The modern aft galley – set to port to ensure the free flow of traffic through the saloon – features premium appliances, including dual stainless steel refrigeration drawers and a drawer freezer. The hand-crafted cabinetry offers excellent storage and features positive locking hardware.

When the celebration begins, a cocktail cabinet to starboard features a lift-up lid, revealing bottle storage and drawers for glasses. Forward, an elevated, leather-upholstered, C-shaped lounge provides excellent visibility forward and through the wide side windows and seats up to six adults around a large, fixed dinette table.

Natural light fills the expansive interior living space, with the side windows able to slide open for cross ventilation when desired.

An electric saloon sunroof also slides open for additional light and fresh air, or an amazing view of the stars at night.
