Riviera Yachts 5600 Sport Yacht Platinum Edition (2026-)

2 x 725-hp Volvo Penta D11 IPS950



Brief Summary

Hailing from a legendary shipyard on the Gold Coast, the manufacturer has spent over four decades perfecting the art of blue-water hull construction. Their reputation is built on a foundation of hand-crafted excellence and a deep understanding of the demanding Australian coastline. This specific model was conceived for the discerning owner who seeks a sleek, "one-level" living experience, removing the barrier between the gourmet galley and the outdoor elements to create a unified entertaining hub.

The interior architecture provides a sanctuary of three generous sleeping quarters, including a full-beam master suite that utilizes the widest part of the hull for maximum volume and quietude. The layout is defined by its massive sliding glass doors and an electric sunroof that invites the sky into the main saloon. Owners can personalize their experience with sophisticated walnut or cherry timber finishes and high-tech joystick maneuvering systems, making the handling of such a substantial yacht surprisingly intuitive for a cruising couple.

  • Single-Level Socializing: The floor plan eliminates steep stairs between the kitchen and the seating areas, making it much easier for everyone to move around safely.
  • Retractable Sunroof: At the touch of a button, the ceiling slides back to provide natural ventilation and a breathtaking view of the stars or sun.
  • Hydraulic Swim Deck: A submersible rear platform makes entering and exiting the ocean simple for swimmers, divers, or those launching a small inflatable.
  • Aft Docking Station: Secondary controls located in the cockpit allow the captain to park the vessel while maintaining a clear view of the dock and surroundings.
