We expect a lot from Riviera, and they deliver even more with the new 6800 Sport Yacht.
Hello Boater
New Riviera 6800 SY Platinum Edition:
Motoryacht That Means Business
FOR OWNER/OPERATORS. The Riviera 6800 Sport Yacht Platinum Edition is a 71' 7" (21.8 m) motoryacht that makes a statement about her owner: knowledgable, experienced, practical, expects luxury, not gimmicks, and knows the difference between Bella figura and Bella build. Riviera designed her for couples to operate as far as they want, with a little help from advanced joystick controls in 3 locations.
Faberge' Perfection. The Solaris Power 44 Open is a very special dayboat, one that is built by Italian shipwrights who take pride in striving for perfection. Her hull is sculptured fiberglass that is now unsurpassed even by the iconic names in Italy.
LIVING ROOM Wine Down is a 45-foot cruiser offering a clean design, diesel performance, and many amenities. With a spacious cockpit, updated helm, roomy cabin, and twin Cummins engines, she balances speed and comfort.
PERSONAL TRAINING. No one serious about golfing would think of doing it without professional lessons, yet for some reason, people think they can learn good seamanship by trial and error. BoatTEST recommends the Safer Boater Anchoring and Mooring Course taught individually on your boat by a certified Safer Boater instructor. You'll learn a lot more than you may think!
USCG ACCIDENT REPORTS Each week, the USCG circulates accidents of the week report in an effort to let America's boaters know the kind of trouble people operating boats get into. BoatTEST researches those reports looking for more information about these mishaps and usually adds images of the accident. See the Report in every Saturday's newsletter.
The team aboard Tony Fleming's Venture explores a vast expanse of the Alaskan tundra. The team encounters diverse wildlife and learns about the harsh Alaskan climate. They discover a hidden waterfall, glaciers, and meet locals who share their traditions.
Submarine warfare losses led the U.S. Shipping Board to launch a major steel shipbuilding program. Due to a shortage of steel and the fact that a hull made of this substance requires about a third less steel per ton compared to a steel ship, they became important to the war effort.
