Riviera Unveils the New 735 SUV Flagship


Riviera has announced the new 735 SUV, the flagship of its acclaimed SUV collection and the most impressive expression yet of the Australian premium luxury motor yacht builder’s distinctive adventure cruising philosophy.

Riviera 735 SUV

The new 735 SUV combines the blue-water performance, expansive cockpit and long-range cruising capability of Riviera’s Sports Motor Yachts with the single-level alfresco entertaining and sophisticated luxury of its Sport Yachts.

Riviera Australia owner Rodney Longhurst said the 735 SUV represents a significant evolution of the company’s SUV design.

“The new 735 SUV is the ultimate expression of our world-class SUV design,” Mr Longhurst said.

“It is a uniquely specified motor yacht offering exhilarating performance, multiple entertaining and relaxation areas, four luxurious staterooms including a superb full-beam master suite, three ensuite bathrooms and the choice of a crew cabin or utility room.

“The 735 is a powerful, long-range luxury motor yacht that is equally at home on extended coastal voyages or relaxing weekends away.

“Importantly, the 735 has been designed to be comfortably handled by a couple, providing owners with the freedom to explore the great waterways of the world with or without crew.”

Central to the 735 SUV is Riviera’s signature indoor-outdoor lifestyle. The expansive cockpit provides an impressive setting for entertaining, water sports or fishing, with a barbecue, wet bar and generous refrigeration. An optional Riviera-designed boarding platform can transform into steps when lowered below the water or raised to meet the height of a marina or quay.

For sport fishing enthusiasts, the 735 SUV can be specified with a comprehensive range of equipment including a live bait tank, outriggers, electric reel and downrigger power outlets, rod holders, insulated fish bins and provision for an ice-chipping machine.

The alfresco deck forms the social heart of the yacht. Opening the saloon door and awning window unites the alfresco deck and saloon to create an expansive single-level living and entertaining environment. An electric sunroof further enhances the connection with the outdoors.

Forward, a dedicated entertaining deck provides another private relaxation space with wrap-around seating for eight or more guests.

Inside, the beautifully appointed saloon features handcrafted timber cabinetry, generous lounges and a comprehensively equipped gourmet galley with premium appliances, extensive refrigeration and dedicated beverage storage.

Below deck are four staterooms. The full-beam master suite features a king-size walk-around bed, panoramic hull windows, extensive storage, private refreshment station and an elegantly appointed ensuite. A forward VIP stateroom also enjoys a private ensuite, while two additional guest staterooms provide flexible accommodation for family and friends.

A separate aft stairway gives convenient access to the day-head, engine room and the choice of a dedicated crew cabin or customisable utility room. The utility space can be configured for diving, fishing and water sports equipment, workshop facilities or other owner requirements.

At the helm, advanced touchscreen navigation and technology are complemented by outstanding visibility and joystick control for low-speed manoeuvring and docking. A second joystick is positioned in the cockpit, with additional cockpit control options available.

Power comes from a choice of twin MAN V12 diesels: the V12 2000, rated at 2,000 hp (1,471 kW) each, or V12X 2200 engines rated at 2,200 hp (1,618 kW) each.

Further smart technology options include Sentinel remote monitoring, Praxis Composite Solar charging, Humphree fins or Seakeeper 18 stabilisation and Starlink connectivity. An integrated camera system provides live views of key areas of the yacht through the helm displays.

“I am extremely proud of our masterful Riviera team and their achievements. Every new model reflects Riviera’s leading-edge boat-building expertise and the experience gained over more than 46 years launching more than 6,300 handcrafted luxury motor yachts.”
