Our written review of the Riviera 58 SMY is now live! Follow the link for the detailed review, deck plans, rivals & pricing: www.yachtbuyer.com/en/reviews/riviera-58-sports-motor-yacht-2024-2
Congrats on the channel growth! Been following for some time, and before you took it to the next level in filming. Best professional reviews on YT. God bless!
I think this is a beautiful yacht, the interior is stunning I love the wood work, it as a great flow to it and is spacious throughout. I am not into fishing but I would definitely consider this yacht if I had the money. Great tour Jack thank you.
Does comments gushing over these dream machines ever get old? I've always thought this is the best yacht design for owner operators made today. The utility room, interior access to the engine room, the multiple control stations all are just so well thought out.
Plus you can have a wireless remote control around your neck, so you can actually step off the boat after having put your fenders out and then guide the boat in with a remote.
I really love this. If they lose the outriggers and turn the aft fishing pit into a (semi) open beachclub, this would be my dream boat. Great presentation, @Jack. Thank you for bringing these top notch Yacht tours.👌
excellent combination of performance and accommodation. 450 miles at such a fast cruise is very impressive. most boats do under 300 miles (usually around 250) at a much lower cruise. and riv has the hull to do it in big seas. very balanced main deck withe good division of space between the galley and the saloon. and the galley is well placed to serve both the saloon and the the excellent mezzanine deck. and what excellent spaces for water sports. great cockpit and massive swim platform. if you are not in to big game fishing riviera will rack out the fish box spaces for dive tanks instead.
Another superb tour Jack & team. Riviera do make some epic boats and this is another. Loved it and whilst not cheap, I’d say it’s good value for money.
Saw a few other reviews of this yacht, but really love yours. Its a fantastic ( dream ).boat. Again, all.of your tours are fabulous, straight forward without any possible disturbances ( you know what I mean ) 😊
Another great review of a cracking good Aussie boat Jack! You should hit the guys at Riv up for a spin...... and because we're gentlemen, we won't mention the medal tally..... 😁
Thanks, Scott! We've talked at length with Riv about a sea trial but they're hard to find this side of the pond. We'll keep trying... - Jack P.S. There's still plenty of time to catch you lot in that medal table 😉🥇
Is there a better owner-operated yacht on the market? If I'm picky I would ask for a rain head shower in the master ensuite and if you could fit it, maybe twin ensuite sinks. But otherwise it's perfect and built about 10kms from where I live. Well done Riviera.
Once upon a time, Riviera was my favorite boat brand. It seems though that they missed the memo about making your side glass as tall as possible. It therefore seems a bit tomb-y inside the saloon. Their flybridge models look a bit clunky to me too. Still, their engineering is amazing and they have some incredible features (i.e. the electrochromic window between the owner stateroom and the head on the 6000SY) and they are still near to my heart. Thanks for the great review, as always!
Very nice. Two questions: At current fuel prices, roughly how much would it cost to completely fill the fuel tanks? And if traveling in the boat at a reasonable clip long distance, roughly how long would it take, how many hours, to go from completely full to empty? And one more, related to the last one. If instead of traveling, one was out and about on the water constantly, sometimes going somewhere, often times anchor down but using the a/c and music and refrigerator and monitoring weather and such while fishing perhaps, and moving to a different locations, and anchoring again and having fun, how long might that go on from full tank to empty? Thanks for a rough idea of the above. And nice review. Well done. I'll take one, please. 🙂
At current UK waterside red diesel prices (I'm going with UK as that's where we're based) it would cost £5,400 to brim the tanks. At a 25-knot cruising speed, if you were to run the boat until the tanks were empty, you'd be able to cover approx. 450nm. At 10 knots, it will do more like 1,100nm. If you're doing short trips and spending a lot of time on anchor that fuel would last a long time. Hope that helps - Jack
Before I looked at the price I said to my self this has to be like $30 million .... But 3.5 wow soon as I get rich I'm buying one ( currently working a dead end 9-5 ) lol
The reason your. Ibewell a has a light isn't so you can see your bait. It's so your bait can see each other and they don't swim into each other or the sides of the tank and smash themselves up and make them useless.
The boat just screams sport fisher, the interior looks like a bowling alley designer got a hold of it, that's just the big difference between sports boats and motor yachts. It's clean, and had some interesting enhancements, but this boat is recreation for the knuckle-dragging Chad crowd... Yep, when you can finally fit that ridiculous sized pickup of his anywhere close to where his boat will be moored, and take off for a Chad-tastic weekend. The interior for the money is bland I'm sorry, it just says pool hall millionaire - with all the designers out there competing, you've got shipbuilders like Sanlorenzo, Tankoa, Bering, Maori... Numarine - who are producing motor yachts that are 45 ft and longer don't ignore the interior design cues from competitors... Throwing all fairness, most of these boats are bespoke, and your tethered to the design sensibilities or lack thereof of the owner, will be done so to your detriment. With price tags in the $3.5 mil - $5.5 mil range, there's too much competition to ignore cues that sell boats. Interiors sell boats. This boat is way too shiny and kind of like I said, pool hall millionaire feel to it, or even worse yet Lottery Bob, but maybe it's because I'm partially biased, I'm not a fan of sport fishers, I'm a huge fan of sport explorers - the ultimate sport fishing boat. And because of that it kind of invalidates the bias, because if they can deck out an explorer like Bering does, regardless of it being a composite hull, or not, they should be able to supply an attractive interior that is competitive with the trends that are established. When you spend that much time in the boat how it looks on the inside matters... It's a neat looking boat, it has some key features that are very practical, and then there's some ergonomics that just play with how people recreate... that I think you're awesome. Short of that, back to the drawing board on the interior, LOL
was this entire giant comment because you don't like gloss wood? and of the competitors you named, none of them are in the market for this type of boat. All around 4/10 comment.

@@chipdouglaschipdouglasthanks so much, really appreciate the support! - Jack
Probably my favorite yacht for everything
Omg is this the perfect owner operator boat . Riviera is such good quality. Love it. Thanks Jack
Close to perfect, you'd probably love the new Horizon V77 too👍
@@idib1739The Horizon is too big for owner operator. This is 58. Perfect owner operator size.
Riviera makes such cool and practical boats. They are awesome.
Thanks Jack! Riviera just keeps getting better! Those Aussies know how to party..🎉😊

What a terrific boat, exceptionally well laid out, stylish, outstanding stats, just fabulous. 5* tour and videography, thanks J and team
Many thanks! - J

Can be configured as such. Riviera will do that for u

Oh dear..... that would be a no Jack. But well done to all the olympians, 'cause god knows, we can' t do it!
I'll probably never own one, but I love the quality of the engineering.
YES I like this presentation, specific and pleasant !! Very Nice walkthrough Sir and I appreciate this Thanks !! 😊😊❤❤
My pleasure!
Looking trim Jack keep up the good work!
Thanks! 🏋️

We know how tall you are, Jack 😂
Another great tour, with great production. Keep it up 👍
Stops me having to repeat myself! Thanks for watching, Adam - Jack

I wish I was rich enough to buy one!!!
The new trend these days I'm old school 1972 48 egg id take a post rybo or Davis too
Just being a bit picky, Trawling is done with nets. Trolling is done with lines.
Before I looked at the price I said to my self this has to be like $30 million .... But 3.5 wow soon as I get rich I'm buying one ( currently working a dead end 9-5 ) lol
I really have a difficult decision to make, right after I win the lottery... smh
amazing review, but you know...still no sign of an arksen 85
We're waiting for them to complete internal testing of hull #2. When it's ready, we'll be on it! - Jack
The reason your. Ibewell a has a light isn't so you can see your bait. It's so your bait can see each other and they don't swim into each other or the sides of the tank and smash themselves up and make them useless.
Well that makes more sense... - Jack
When he said the ice maker was a fridge yeah bye
All Riviera boats are starting to look the same. In my opinion. I kinda wish they built something similar to the old M470 sport cruiser would be nice
This is nautical?

was this entire giant comment because you don't like gloss wood? and of the competitors you named, none of them are in the market for this type of boat. All around 4/10 comment.
@@Expied I don't comment for ratings, I comment for reality, it would have been a nice boat but the design is cheesy...
That shiny wood is horrible all you can see is reflections bouncing around
I been aboard this boat and the gloss walnut looks even better in real life. It gives the interior a very classy and elegant look.
