The Riviera 6000 Sport Yacht Platinum is a 63-foot luxury sports cruiser that was launched by leading Australian yacht firm Riviera Yachts in 2022. The current flagship of the Riviera fleet, this super-sleek model presents an ultra-modern, assertive profile with a curved, swept-back hood, flared edges and sharp hull glazing for a cutting-edge feel. Crafted to impeccably high standards, you will find only premium and deluxe materials throughout this vessel for an elegant and contemporary feel inside.
Work on your tan at the foredeck double sunpad, where headrests can be popped up to admire the forward-facing views. To stern, meanwhile, there is a fully hydraulic, teak-lined bathing platform that can be lowered into the water, along with a transom garage capable of hosting the market’s latest jet-tenders. Curving steps lead up to a stylish cockpit with a plush side sofa, an L-shaped dining sofa with a high-gloss teak table and a chunky transom wet-bar with marbled countertops, two outdoor grills, fridge-freezer units, a hidden sink and an ice-chipper. The cockpit is sheltered underneath a structural overhang with an extending sunshade, while there’s also a retractable sunroof built into the hood and glass side panels enhancing the light-filled atmosphere out here.
Sliding glass doors fully open up to connect the cockpit to the aft galley. Lined in sheer marble-effect Corian with walnut-lined cabinets, this walk-in kitchen boasts a stainless-steel double sink, a four-zone Miele cooktop, a combination oven, Isotherm fridge-freezer units and a dishwasher. Move forward into the salon to discover two sprawling leather sofas, one of which surrounds a timber dining table, while at the front of the main deck sits an ergonomic helm. A pair of Recaro helm seats face a Volvo Glass Cockpit with dual touchscreens, power-assisted steering, a Penta joystick, Seakeeper 9 stabilizer switches, VHF radio, a high-speed compass and a CZone tablet. Not only does this vast salon benefit from ample side glazing with thin frames but there’s also a set of glazed mullion skylights to aft and a transparent slide-open sunroof above the helm, keeping this space breezy and well-lit.
There is room on the lower deck for up to eight overnight guests across four staterooms, though one of the cabins can be exchanged to create a much larger Presidential suite to aft. A double room by the bow features skylights, two timber-lined closets, a queen-sized bed and a lavish en-suite with a shower, while a twin room to starboard features bedside cabinets and direct use of another plush head that is shared with the optional bunk berth to port. The full-beam owner’s stateroom elevates rest-space to new heights with a leather-lined side sofa, an optional breakfast booth, a king-sized bed, masses of storage and a huge, marbled-lined bathroom with porcelain sinks, a wide hull window and a wet-room shower with bench seating. Also available on the lower deck is an optional dinette galley, a utility room to aft and a compact space that doubles as laundry room and cinema lounge. Rooms on this level benefit from climate-control as well as picture-frame windows, strip glazing or opening portholes.
Powered by a pair of 725HP Volvo Penta D11 IPS950 pod-drive diesel motors as standard, you can expect to reach planing speeds in less than ten seconds and to hit top speed of over 30 knots. At a cruising speed of 20 knots, you will enjoy a 403 nautical mile range, while a rugged hull offers stability, agility and superb fuel-efficiency in coastal waters.
