4600 Sport Yacht
The Riviera 545 SUV is an outstanding 58-foot luxury motoryacht launched at the 2019 Sydney Boat Show by premier Australian yacht builder Riviera. Designed as a crossover between the brand’s Sport Yacht and Flybridge ranges, the 545 SUV combines the bluewater capability and open cockpit of a flybridge yacht with the entertainment factor and performance of a sport yacht.
Jam-packed with exceptional amenities, social spaces, and three generous cabins, this yacht is sure to impress both owners and guests. Built for the indoor-outdoor lifestyle, the 545 SUV functions as a floating pied-a-terre with a terrace-like aft cockpit – the perfect stage for al fresco dinners and cocktails. The extensive cockpit features a forward-facing transom lounge where owners can opt for a nearby storage bin or, for keen anglers, a live bait tank. Those who love sportfishing can easily install a game chair, custom rodholders, and other fishing accoutrements.
Beneath the hardtop, a cockpit lounge and dining area served by a rich teak table and a top-loading freezer box. When not in use for dining, this seating can be converted into a daybed. In-floor storage can be found throughout the boat, including a generous self-draining lazarette found in the center of the cockpit. This is an excellent place to store bulky equipment alongside an optional gyrostabilizer. Wide side-decks with sturdy handrails ensure safe passage to and from the bow, which features a double sunpad for soaking up the sun’s rays.
A barbecue center and wet bar can be found to starboard on the mezzanine, just at the entrance of the main salon. This station is perfectly placed to cater to those out on the cockpit and any guests who might be chilling inside. This unit is the perfect place to mix up some cocktails or cook up some tapas, featuring twin plates for grilling, an icemaker, and a sink with a molded lid that ensures plenty of useable counter space.
Entering the salon, users will be welcomed by the generous galley. Superb cabinetry – your choice of gloss walnut or satin oak timbers – boasts ample storage, Corian countertops, an electric cooktop, convection microwave oven, stainless-steel sink and an optional but lavish drawer dishwasher.
Further forward, enjoy versatile starboard lounge seating with a chic fold-out table. A cocktail cabinet is nearby for refreshments, with glassware, bottle storage, and a refrigerator for storing and serving that rare vintage you’ve been saving for a special occasion. Above, two large sunroofs invite in light and breeze, while sliding windows offer further connection with the elements. At the helm, you’ll find two outstanding ultra leather captain’s chairs with easy access to all the latest electronics and navigation equipment, including a Volvo Penta Glass Cockpit system which gives the captain full control over engines, navigation, GPS, sounder, radar, autopilot, and optional charts, and full joystick steering.
Below deck, owners will enjoy a quiet and stable night’s rest in the aft suite, which features a queen-sized walkaround bed with plenty of storage drawers and lockers. Above a stunning L-shaped seat, a panoramic hull window provides gorgeous views, while an opening porthole suffuses this space with natural light and restorative sea air. A generous en suite bathroom features a vessel sink, storage, toilet, and an impressive shower with a glass door and teak bench. A small but well laid-out starboard cabin features twin bunks with shared en suite access with the forward VIP suite, which features a queen island bed, hull windows, overhead hatches, and below-bed storage.
The 545 SUV is powered by two standard Volvo Penta D11 IPS engines with an impressive 725HP. With a cruise speed of 19 knots at a range of 496 nautical miles, this yacht is perfect for long, lazy sojourns, but those who want to kick it up a notch will be thrilled by its top speeds, which reach over 33 knots.
