Riviera 445 SUV

We’re inviting you to experience something very special – a whole new class of luxury motor yacht. By combining the offshore pedigree and open cockpit of the Riviera Flybridge Collection with the relaxed, flowing one-level living of Riviera Sport Yachts, we’ve created a yacht for both the adventurer and entertainer in you – the Riviera 445 SUV.

This is blue-water living on a whole new level… The expansive open cockpit works beautifully in full cruising mode or can be easily adapted for diving, fishing and maximum adventure. Just look at how much friends and family will enjoy the 445 SUV’s fantastic flowing, easy-living design, not to mention the luxury, light and sweeping saloon views.

World-leading onboard and engine-room technology make the 445 SUV supremely easy to operate and skipper – for novices and experienced hands alike. You’ll have silky-smooth Volvo Inboard Performance System (IPS) to power you, Volvo Penta Glass Cockpit Navigation and multi-function display screens to guide you and fingertip-easy, joystick maneuverability. Simply brilliant.

Blue-water adventure seeking is a thrilling if sometimes tiring pursuit. Fortunately, Riviera designers have created a supremely welcoming, luxurious and restful environment below deck: You’ll find two magnificent staterooms and two designer bathrooms where you can retire, unwind and restore.

Manufacturer Provided Description

The SUV collection is a culmination of more than 32 years of boat building design, experience and extensive owner feedback from around the world.

Bearing Rivieras classic hallmark design, the new 445 SUV has been crafted with Rivieras rich-heritage in mind. Combining the high performance, blue water cruising abilities and large open cockpit of the classic Flybridge with the fish raising abilities of the Offshore Express, and the single-level leisurely, entertaining features of the popular Sport Yacht series, has created a vessel like no other, a true bridge between all of them.

Rivieras Director of Brand and Communications Stephen Milne says the 445 SUV was in all respects a true embodiment of Riviera heritage.

By this we mean that all the familiar and reassuring aspects of proven Riviera boatbuilding DNA are there; purposeful lines, hefty scantlings, the solid feel in a seaway, spacious layout and Euro-style luxurious dcor. And of course, a full no-nonsense Flybridge-scale cockpit, he says.

Like our Sport Yachts and the newer Flybridge models, the SUV embraces a single, much larger, flexible saloon seating design that multi-functions for dining, cocktail, coffee, reading, lounging and even extra sleeping if required.

Forward in the saloon is the protected helm station to port, comfortably sheltered within the main deckhouse, giving the feel of a very spacious enclosed flybridge, yet all on the main entertaining and living deck level.

The galley links the saloon and cockpit, in quiet conversational proximity to the aft-facing mezzanine lounge just outside the large awning window.

The new 445 SUV features two staterooms dominating amidships and extending full beam.
The opulent master stateroom forward has a plush island bed with large under-bed drawers and full-length wardrobe hanging space. There are long fixed-hull windows that bring light and reflections into the master stateroom.

The guest stateroom aft features three single berths, one single along the starboard hull side and two athwartships with storage underneath. There is plenty of space, light and storage in this cabin with two large fixed portlights and two opening portholes, a large hanging locker, drawer cabinet, reading and overhead lighting; making this vessel ideal for the family of five.

The two staterooms are separated by two generous and beautifully appointed bathrooms, a guest/day head to starboard and the master ensuite forward to port.

The Riviera SUV introduces a fresh design scheme for internal spaces, and the Riviera design team have created a whole new-look palette of calming yet warm colours in champagne, crme, straw, manila and burnished orange; in surfaces of laminate, leather, suede, mirror, American oak, plush sisal carpet and subtle waffle fabric textures.

The SUV model series is not only pleasing to the eye, she is just as impressive below the water line, with Rivieras leading edge CAD technology designed hull with a 14.5 degree deadrise at the transom, Volvo IPS pod-drive propulsion and legendary award-winning build quality.

The SUV has been built using a superior strength hand-laid hull which is solid GRP below the water line and structural core material on the hull sides, main deck and hardtop, as well as precisely fitted lightweight resin transfer molded components, says Mr Milne. So we have a boat of great strength where required with lighter weight components to avoid any excessive weight. These elements combine to aid overall performance.

A great deal of our acumen regarding hull shape has contributed to, for example, aft chine strakes that have a straight run, to enhance both speed and manoeuvrability.

One of the biggest advantages of the Volvo IPS system is that the bulk of the engineering machinery can be positioned well aft, rather than amidships, as shaft drives dictate. This allows us to create a compact SUV with all the internal space you would expect from a Sport Yacht and with the blue water capabilities of our Flybridge and Offshore Express.

The 445 model is really an ideal mid-sized example of the SUV, and we will develop further variations of this exciting new design in the near future, Mr Milne adds.

The unprecedented new Riviera SUV collection is a completely new model series, which has already received strong interest from Riviera enthusiasts and is yet another innovative and functional design from Australias most awarded luxury boat builder.
