4600 Sport Yacht
The Riviera M370 is a 40-foot sports cruiser that was produced by the award-winning Australian yacht-building firm Riviera Yachts between the years of 2002 and 2005. Riviera launched 134 iterations of this beautiful yacht during its production run, and this vessel was so popular with discerning clients the world over due to its show-stopping looks, subtle descending curves to transom and a sleek open-air main-deck. What makes the M370 an enduring best-seller on the used market is the superb finish of its living spaces, its beefy, speed-focused engines and a rugged and seaworthy hull built for high-octane fun.
There’s nothing but a swept-back radar arch separating you and your friends from unimpeded sunshine while relaxing across the al-fresco main-deck. Head out onto the foredeck and enjoy life on a double-width sunpad in marine-grade upholstery with integrated cup-holders and flip-up headrests on hand to accentuate your comfort. Head to the stern and enjoy a more active approach to time at sea at a hydraulic, teak-lined bathing platform with a swim ladder and optional guardrails that can be used to store an inflatable tender. Step up and walk through a transom gate to enjoy this boat’s stunning cockpit, where a curved sofa in piped, nautical-themed leather surrounds a dining table where up to six guests can enjoy waterside brunches and evening meals. Across from this sofa is a mini wet-bar station with a sink, solid work-surfaces, chilled storage and even an optional outdoor barbecue. A curving love-seat to port sits at the front of the deck, alongside a plush and comfortable twin-seat facing a helm station fitted up against the sloping windscreen glazing. The helm station boasts plenty of chrome-lined analogue instrumentation and a walnut fascia for a pleasing vintage vibe, while a timber-lined, power-assisted steering wheel offers plenty of old-school fun. Yet this dashboard also boasts hi-tech Garmin display screens, hand-held VHF and electric bow thruster controls for a more modern piloting experience.
A watertight door leads down to a lower deck built in to the front portion of the hull. An open galley with granite-effect work surfaces and light timber cabinetry features a microwave oven, chilled storage and a two-zone hob, along with a molded sink and mixer tap. Across from this there is a cushioned L-shaped dining sofa hugging a high-gloss timber dining table perfect for breakfasts, while refined carpeting, mood lighting and oval portholes keep the vibe down here breezy and atmospheric. There is a separate double cabin towards the bow with a bedside cabinet and a timber-lined locker, while another double bed sits just aft of the steps back up to deck. If you are expecting any further overnight guests then the dining table in the lower lounge can be lowered and covered with a filler cushion to create an extra sleeping spot. A main head on this level presents guests with a non-slip sole, a sink, a flush toilet and an entirely enclosed shower stall.
Standard engines on this model are a pair of 300HP Mercruiser 6.2MPI stern-drive diesels capable of hitting top speeds of up to 30 knots. At a silky-smooth cruising pace of 20 knots you will be able to explore the coast all weekend thanks to a 231 gallon fuel tank.
