For the 50 Sports Motor Yacht, Riviera took the 50 SUV and added a flying bridge that can be enclosed with isinglass.

This summer while Capt. Steve is out operating a fishing head boat in Nantucket Sound to keep his 100 Ton USCG license current, we’d like to invite our readers to send us their own boat test videos.

The boat seen above was 15 miles off Ocean City, MD, when it started taking on water. The captain used “Digital Selective Calling” (DSC) on his VHF to notify the USCG that he was afraid the boat would sink before making it back. Note the USCG personnel on the bow dewatering the boat. More...
