The Riviera 585 SUV is a 65-foot sports motor yacht that was launched by the iconic Australian yacht-building firm Riviera in 2023. Combining the best qualities of a coupe-style cruiser with the versatility of a multi-purpose sports vessel, the 585 SUV seems to have it all. Graceful curves to transom and a plumb-bow recall the dynamic lines of a sport-fisher, but trapezoidal hull windows, structural flares and an aerodynamic hood over the cockpit suggest something a bit more leisurely and refined. Living spaces with a cool and contemporary vibe, sun-kissed outdoor relaxation zones and plenty of overnight space for multi-day trips make this a superb option for discerning clients who like to combine style and comfort with a more active approach to life at sea.
An open-air foredeck comes with a Bimini shade for midday shelter from the sun, and this seductive space features a side-sofa that can be folded out and transformed into a double-width sunpad alongside a vast L-shaped sofa that has been paired with a cocktail table and integrated cup-holders. Amble down broad side-decks to reach 250 square feet of elegant, teak-lined living space to aft across an upper-cockpit, a lower sports cockpit and a hydraulic bathing platform to stern. On the lower-level there are optional fishing amenities like fish-boxes, rod-holders and sports lockers, along with dual wet-bar stations boasting facilities like refrigeration, an ice-chipper, a grill, a sink and a trash compactor. The upper-cockpit is covered by an extending hard-top with a pair of glazed skylights, and boasts a cozy atmosphere with two sofas in marine-grade upholstery, glazed surrounds and an outdoor dining table in teak with a beveled edge.
A sliding glass door and a flip-up window pane lined in stainless steel enhance the connection between indoors and outdoors, allowing guests in the cockpit to be directly served by those in the walk-in galley to aft. In here you can expect all the kitchen amenities required for multi-day trips, Corian work surfaces and a timber-sole. Further forward there are a pair of L-shaped sofas in white leather, one of which has been paired with an indoor dining table and another that functions as a companion sofa so that you can watch your captain in action. A retractable sunroof sits above the helm, where you will encounter two Recaro-style, leather-clad helm chairs facing a modern dashboard with power-steering, digital throttles, a high-speed mounted compass, Penta joystick handling and a trio of Garmin touch-screen monitors.
Down on the lower-deck there are a trio of lavish cabins each with their own en-suite facilities, golden oak surrounds, widescreen hull windows, recessed mood lighting and upholstered wall panels. A twin cabin to port and a VIP double to the bow occupy the front portion of the hull, while amidship there is a full-beam owner’s stateroom with a queen bed, a walk-in dressing room, a breakfast booth, a set of cabinets and a spacious bathroom with a wet-room shower. There’s also space for a utility room down here that can also be reconfigured for use as a single berth for crew.
Powered by twin 1000HP Volvo Penta D13 IPS 1350 pod-drive engines, you should expect top speeds of at least 38 knots and a cruising speed of around 28 knots. At a stand-still there are zero-speed Humphree stabilizers for a calm experience as you relax off the coast or cast a line, while a fuel tank holding 1,189 gallons of juice has been optimized for ambitious voyages.
