50 SPORTS MOTOR YACHT - Riviera FOR SALE

Conceived by 4D Designs with the Riviera studio and meticulously crafted in-house on Australia’s Gold Coast, the new 50 Sports Motor Yacht is an extraordinary proposition. It delivers the amenity set you’d expect from a much larger luxury motor yacht: a foredeck lounging retreat, secure walk-around side decks, an all-weather alfresco mezzanine for effortless entertaining, and a spacious, beautifully finished saloon with a seamless indoor–outdoor flow. An internal staircase rises to a fully enclosed, climate-controlled flybridge featuring a cutting-edge helm and panoramic views. Below, the light-filled accommodation deck offers three cabins and two bathrooms, flooded with natural light through tinted hull glazing and anchored by a magnificent full-beam owner’s suite.

Engineering excellence turns her athletic profile into authentic sport performance. This flybridge motor yacht can be specified with two highly efficient propulsion packages—both with joystick controls—either twin diesel Volvo Penta IPS950 or twin diesel MAN i6-800 shaft-drive engines. Whichever you choose, expect poised handling, quiet running, and notable economy with confident, responsive acceleration—hallmarks of a true performance cruiser.

A broad, open cockpit invites every kind of on-water adventure, from diving and fishing to family fun with tender and toys. Owners have already taken this bluewater cruiser across the Mediterranean, Southeast Asia, the Caribbean, the South Pacific, and the Whitsundays. Handcrafted in Australia to Riviera’s renowned standards, the 50 SMY is a distinctive sport yacht—part flybridge motor yacht, part family cruiser, part long-range explorer—that confidently stands in a class of its own.

Factory installed options

Command is conducted from a helm crowned by three 16-inch Garmin Glass Bridge 8616 displays with integrated GPS and a GRID controller, seamlessly paired to a Garmin Auto Pilot, a GMR Fantom CHIRP 54 open-array radar on a Seaview mount with a 72 nm range, and a Garmin GSD 28 CHIRP sounder matched to a 1 kW B275LHW depth/temperature transducer. Communications and awareness are elevated by a Garmin AIS 800 transceiver including the GA 38 GPS/GLONASS antenna and an internal VHF aerial splitter (MMSI number must be supplied), a FLIR M232 thermal camera (320 x 240) with tilt/pan and JCU controller, and a triple mount accommodating the open-array radar, FLIR and Starlink. Vigilance extends throughout with Garmin GC 200 IP dome cameras (infrared) in the cockpit, engine room and saloon, complemented by an awning camera neatly mounted to the stainless rail.

Effortless handling meets performance via twin diesel Volvo D11 IPS 950 engines (533 kW/725 hp), Volvo Penta Easy Connect for remote, app-based monitoring and recording of engine data, and joystick docking stations in the cockpit on both port and starboard sides. Aft on the flybridge, a dedicated docking and fishing helm features electric steering, a stainless-steel wheel with stop/start panel, dual-lever engine controls, a horn and a protective dash cover. For seakeeping poise, the specification adds active automatic roll and pitch stabilisation to the interceptors and installs a Seakeeper 9 gyro. Engineering resilience includes fuel filters/water separators serving the engines and generator, with dual filtration to the main engines, and a secondary DC fresh-water pump independently switched as a backup. An Electrostrainer ES-125 system is installed to streamline raw-water management.

Power is delivered by an Onan 21.5 kW/60 Hz/110 V generator with muffler, fresh-water cooling, sound shield, remote stop/start diagnostic and hour meter—power management may be needed depending on load. The house bank adopts Lithium Iron Phosphate technology as standard at 24 V, comprising two 150 Ah batteries delivering 210 Ah usable and 2000 A peak, safeguarded by an internal BMS. AC power management is the responsibility of the vessel owner, taking into account the number, type and voltage of devices in use at any given time; Riviera will not be held liable for power supply issues caused by inadequate power management.

Climate mastery arrives through a flybridge air-conditioning option with a 30,000 BTU condenser and two 16,000 BTU air handlers on the flybridge (a generator upgrade is recommended), and a Tropical package specifying condenser units comprising one 30,000 BTU and two 12,000 BTU units. Interior craft is expressed in a walnut finish with high-gloss varnish throughout, Corian solid-surface benchtops to galley and heads, and teak-laid flooring including the mezzanine steps, complemented by saloon/galley stairs and the lower landing finished in commercial-grade vinyl. Upholstery to the saloon lounges is offered in premium Leather and Sunbrella options, with upgraded roller blinds—electric in the master stateroom and manual in other staterooms—and saloon roller blinds with electric side operation and a manual rear bulkhead. Saloon side window covers in Black Breezeway provide refined shading, while a Soft Furnishing Package presents fitted bed linen, pillows, bedcovers and scatter cushions, a Bathware Package Storm refines the heads, and a Galleyware Package equips the kitchen. Personalisation extends to the colour of bedheads and bed surrounds, and a boot-top and pinstripe executed in the same colour.

Entertaining and connectivity are comprehensive: the forward guest stateroom receives a 24-inch LED TV and Fusion stereo panel (the TV powered off the inverter), while the mezzanine gains a 32-inch TV mounted off the hardtop on the starboard side on a stainless-steel mount and tied into the cockpit speaker system. Starlink Satellite Internet provides modern bandwidth offshore, with CZone configured for iPad connectivity including full programming and a Wi‑Fi interface (iPad not included). Preparation for future Sat TV installation includes running HDMI and CAT 6 cables from a central location to one TV position, a SAT TV circuit power supply, and two coax cables to the hardtop for each TV on board—saloon, master cabin, forward cabin and mezzanine.

On deck, comfort and capability converge with a half rear cockpit awning positioned 800 mm from the aft end of the flybridge, built on a fixed single-bow stainless-steel frame with an acrylic canvas cover. The mezzanine rear enclosure in Breezeway fabric connects to the standard plexiglass quarter clears, with two removable/roll-up panels to the aft section and one panel to either side of the roll-up entry door, finished in gray; additional quarter panel clears to the cockpit port and starboard are specified in Strataglass. The foredeck gains Hella Easy Fit Blue lighting with five per side, a sun pad on the forward deck, and an enhanced forward sun pad whose fabric upholstery matches the cockpit selection, built on closed-cell foam with stainless-steel rails, storage beneath, a lift-up backrest, a white Stamoid cover and integrated drinks holders. Two opening round clear-glass portholes with alarms to the helm, stainless-steel surrounds and flyscreens add light and ventilation. The GRP platform is hydraulically operated up/down to a 350 kg maximum with a fixed hob section and reinforced transom; boat trim and performance will be affected at maximum load. A high-pressure water cleaner is plumbed to outlets at the bow and cockpit and supplied with one 10 metre (32'8") hose and a spray wand, while three Lumitec SeaBlaze X2 Blue/White transom lights bathe the wake in underwater luminescence. Exterior detailing includes two backlit R logos with stainless-steel Riviera badges fitted to the flybridge buttresses, and the White Hull Colour as standard; four black fender covers with R logo are automatically included when a painted hull is selected.

Angling amenities are fully considered with a live bait tank in the transom with pickup, circulating pump, window and light, four heavy-duty stainless-steel rod holders bolted into the cockpit coaming, and a port-side lounge bench with a refrigerated coolbox. Practical luxuries round out the specification with a dishwasher drawer to the galley in lieu of a pot drawer, separate washer and dryer units in lieu of a linen locker, a Dyson Multi Floor cordless rechargeable vacuum cleaner with detachable long-reach wand and charging station, and an Additional Fitted Sheet Set—two large and two single—to keep every cabin prepared.
