Riviera Reveals the New Belize 55 Sedan and Daybridge
Riviera Announces the New Belize 55 Sedan and Daybridge
Responding to strong global demand for its Belize collection, Riviera has announced the new Belize 55 Sedan and Daybridge ahead of their World Premiere at the Newport International Boat Show, Rhode Island, opening September 17th, 2026.
Elegantly proportioned and classically styled, the Belize 55 is a contemporary interpretation of yachting’s golden era—where timeless design, exceptional craftsmanship and modern performance converge. Each yacht is highly individual, created for owners who value bespoke luxury and the freedom to design without compromise.
“Belize offers a refined balance between the understated elegance of Maine’s Downeaster tradition and Australian practicality—brought to life through masterful design, premium finishes, exotic timbers and handcrafted cabinetry,” said Riviera Australia owner Rodney Longhurst.
At its core, the Belize 55 features a hull engineered for Volvo Penta IPS propulsion, delivering a soft, dry and confident ride. A fine entry, keel-assisted tracking and pronounced bow chine combine for precise handling offshore, while twin Volvo Penta D11 IPS 950 engines provide effortless performance, fuel efficiency and joystick-controlled maneuverability.
Designed for relaxed entertaining, the aft deck flows seamlessly into the saloon, effectively doubling the main deck living space. A full-beam hydraulic swim platform creates a private beach at anchor, complemented by a watersports garage and integrated barbecue. The Daybridge adds a second social zone with lounge, wet bar and commanding helm.
The accommodation deck offers three staterooms and two bathrooms including a full-beam master suite, delivering exceptional comfort, privacy and livability for extended cruising.
Advanced onboard technology—including Sentinel monitoring, camera systems, Starlink connectivity and optional stabilization—enhancing safety, convenience and peace of mind.
With limited production ensuring exclusivity, the Belize 55 Sedan and Daybridge represent a modern classic—timeless in style, intelligent in design and crafted for discerning owners worldwide.
