Owner Experience Review

Owners who step aboard the 6800 Sport Yachtconsistently describe a yacht engineered for confident, owner‑operated cruising. In review runs, the IPS‑tuned hull delivered a steady, seakindly ride in the kind of heavy Australian conditionsRivieradesigns for, with smooth low‑speed joystick manoeuvring and docking. Speeds reported in the low‑30‑knot range (~32–33 knots) and the yacht’s large displacement (about 81,791 lb for a 72–73' hull) translate to a stout, assured motion offshore.

Day to day, the layout supports family cruising and entertaining with genuine separation between social zones: foredeck lounge, cockpit and salon flow easily, aided by electric sunroof(s) and a galley‑forward arrangement. The beach‑club concept at the transformer swim platform, plus a proper tender garage, make weekends on the hook and watersports simple and enjoyable. Below, the full‑beam owner’s suite and flexible 3‑ or 4‑stateroom configurations draw consistent praise; one owner at launch summed it up as “a 10 out of 10,” and another remarked, “There’s nothing that I would want to change.”

Serviceability reflects an owner‑operator brief: a full‑height, walk‑through engine room with transom access allows technicians to work without disrupting guests. The twin Volvo Penta D13 IPS1350 installation benefits from a broad dealer/service network, though IPS‑specific maintenance and the yacht’s complex systems (hydraulic platform, sunroofs, joystick electronics) widen the service scope; thorough handover and training are recommended. As a 2024/2025 debut, long‑term failure data is still limited, so buyers should weigh the early‑cycle nature of the model.

Pros and Cons

• Seakindly handling and a stout, comfortable motion in waves suit the heavy‑weather brief Rivieratargeted.
• Owner‑operator focus with IPS1350 and joystick enables smooth low‑speed control and stress‑reduced docking.
• Multiple social zones, a beach club with transformer platform, and a tender garage make family cruising and watersports easy.
• Complex systems (hydraulic platform, sunroofs, IPS electronics) increase maintenance scope and demand proper training.
• As a 2024/2025 debut, long‑term reliability and failure data remain limited for real‑world ownership horizons.
• IPS powertrains introduce specific service items and reliance on dealer networks for best‑practice maintenance.
