The numbers speak to this enduring legacy: Riviera has successfully launched over 6,200 motor yachts that are proudly cruising lakes, rivers, and oceans in over 60 countries. This remarkable output is a testament to the brand's dedication to robust engineering, innovative design, and a client-focused approach that encourages long-term ownership and adventure.

A Legacy Forged in Innovation

What sets Riviera apart is its commitment to continuous evolution. The brand is renowned for introducing features that enhance both offshore capability and on-board living. From the pioneering flybridge designs that established their name to the sophisticated, contemporary layouts of their current Sport Yacht, SUV, and Belize collections, every model is engineered for reliability and ease of operation. This focus ensures that a Riviera performs brilliantly, whether tackling demanding conditions offshore or simply anchoring for an evening cocktail.

The true spirit of the brand lies in the Riviera Family—a global community of passionate owners. The company actively supports this community with exclusive events, rendezvous, and the signature Riviera Festival of Boating, creating a shared experience that extends well beyond the initial purchase.
