Riviera hosts two European premieres of new SUV models at Cannes

Australian motor yacht builder, Riviera, has announced the European premieres of two new models from its highly popular SUV Collection, the 465 and 505, at the Cannes Yachting Festival from September 12 to 17.

The 465 SUV has Riviera’s heritage blue-water hull design and exceptional offshore capability.

The 465 and 505 SUVs share a strong heritage that combine the spirited blue-water performance and open water sports cockpit of the Riviera Sports Motor Yacht Collection with the single-level living, entertaining and relaxation spaces of their Sport Yachts. The Riviera SUV concept has been widely celebrated since the first model, the 445, was launched in 2012, and now includes seven models, from 39 to 64 feet in length.

The showcase will also include the popular 4600 Sport Yacht Platinum Edition.

Riviera Australia owner Rodney Longhurst said that Riviera and their European representatives were proud to display these magnificent yachts from Riviera’s diverse six model collections from 39 to 78 feet, where every yacht shares a 43-year tradition of evolution and blue-water pedigree.

The team at Cannes will provide presentations on all of Riviera’s individual models, including the superb new 46 Sports Motor Yacht, 585 SUV and 58 Sports Motor Yacht.

The 46 Sports Motor Yacht offers multiple entertaining spaces that stretch from the deep boarding platform to relaxing foredeck sun lounges and a generous open flybridge with hardtop. The yacht’s accommodation deck offers three double staterooms and two generous bathrooms.

The 585 SUV provides welcoming spaces from stem to stern, offering exceptional comfort, while enhancing the superb indoor/outdoor lifestyle features that make the SUV models so popular.
