Riviera 735 SUV: The New Australian Flagship Built for Grand Voyages

Australian luxury motor yacht builder Riviera has announced the 735 SUV, the new flagship of its acclaimed SUV collection. Combining the blue-water performance and long-range cruising capability of Riviera’s Sports Motor Yachts with the single-level alfresco living of its Sport Yachts, the model delivers a versatile adventure cruising experience.

At the heart of the design is Riviera’s signature indoor-outdoor lifestyle. The expansive cockpit caters to entertaining, water sports, or sport fishing, equipped with a barbecue, wet bar, and extensive refrigeration. An optional hydraulic boarding platform adjusts below the waterline for swimming or raises to dock height.

Opening the main saloon door and awning window creates an integrated, single-level social space connecting the alfresco deck and interior. Inside, the main deck features handcrafted timber cabinetry, a gourmet galley with premium appliances, and a panoramic lounge. Forward on the foredeck, a dedicated lounge offers private seating for eight or more guests.

Below deck, the four-stateroom layout includes a full-beam master suite with panoramic hull windows and an ensuite, a forward VIP suite, and two flexible guest cabins. A separate aft stairway leads to the engine room, day head, and a customizable utility room or crew cabin.

At the helm, advanced touchscreen displays and joystick maneuvering ensure intuitive handling, supported by a secondary control station in the cockpit. Power options include twin MAN V12 diesel engines rated up to 2,200 hp each, accompanied by optional Humphree or Seakeeper stabilization, Starlink connectivity, and solar charging systems.

'Every new model reflects Riviera’s boat-building expertise and the experience gained over more than 46 years launching over 6,300 handcrafted luxury motor yachts,' said Rodney Longhurst, owner of Riviera.
