Australia let us rejoice for Nick has kindly reviewed an Australian made boat.

[@Bobbobbob678]

Finally😮

[@scottcolligan1730]

Go the Aussies, absolutely beautiful. And with the $$ exchange rate everyone can have one.......except me :]

[@gervers]

What a great boat and use of space! For me, if I had the money, I’d probably go for the 3 cabin, presidential layout but given there is the flexibility, this is fantastic! Great review and tour as always. Have a great weekend one and all.

[@itziknadel]

The boats don't matter anymore, we are all hooked on Nick 😎

[@AQUAHOLIC]

[@mhlengimbokazi4106]

YesSir

[@ywc1872]

Great, finally some Australian boats. I hope to see more American boats too! Tks!!!

[@treborretsnom6186]

Here I am eating my words, about how I dislike high gloss... When done with restraint, and in this contemporary dressing... it's fantastic! Beautiful 👍

[@johnbravo2315]

Remember High Gloss finish amplifies the wood grain and makes cleaning off dirt and dust much easier than the satin finish. Personally I love the pop of the high gloss finish when a quality wood grain needs to be appreciated.

[@VoxOptimatium]

@treborretsnom6186 Great comment. Agreed.

[@TheAceWolfe01]

That utility area behind the owner's cabin.. Is it just me, or is that completely unique to this boat?

[@1776GalacticXRP]

Finally a sports cruiser with engine room access directly from the master stateroom. This is the perfect yacht for the owner operator.

[@davidworth5753]

There is a certain air of class and sophistication about this boat, a true Gentleman’s sports cruiser. I can see families spending many happy hours afloat on this beauty. Great video as always Nick.

[@polepostionracer]

Riviera - the best handling boats on any condition believe me

[@Harrybollox]

Go Aussie . What I don’t think you mentioned is how exceptionally well these boats are built from the hull up. They are a good notch above much of the competition , partly as they are designed to handle the Pacific !. I don’t have a Riviera because it’s considerably more dollars for the same accomodation , but if you can afford the Riviera price , the quality and seaworthiness are hard to beat . I have no affiliation at all to Riviera, not even a small part or accessory . 😢

[@MrSilus2000]

I’m sold. On a 5400 though

[@constantineding8700]

Before Nick entered into the utility room, I felt it would be another boring cookie cutter spoart boat. But the second he stepped into that amazing utility room then opened the hatch into the engine room, everything changed... I liked it even more than a Sunseeker.

[@nigelmaisey272]

Love the look of this boat …. Just exudes Quality….beautiful woodwork….. just like Sunseekers of old …. Only downside on this for me is the ips…. I’m not a fan … shaft or surface drives for me …👍👏❤️🛥…nice one Nick .. 👍😎

[@MrPeteJMc]

Lovely yacht. Just love the wood finish inside, beautiful.

[@jimmyquinn9639]

Lovely yacht nick and excellent video ⛵️🚤🛥⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👍👍👍👍👍

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Many thanks!

[@captcav767]

Riveria is the world standard in Australian yacht makers! What this video can't show is just how beamy they are, the 6000 is just a monsterous boat on the water, so majestic!

[@Piesy001]

$AUD 3.1 Million Yacht = about $USD 8 at the moment.....

[@Liam.......]

@@Piesy001 then buy one

[@fatihozker9872]

Is not that much good boat

[@VoxOptimatium]

@@Piesy001 $AUD 3.1M = Approximately $USD 2.045M, doesn't it?

[@scottrippon5039]

As nice as this boat is....and it is nice, I think the Princess V60 cockpit and saloon layout is more successful.... and I am Australian so clearly this is difficult to admit....but there you are... Great to see some Aussie boats though Nick.

[@scottrippon9565]

Yes.... but on the flip side Nick, the Aussie boat has HEAPS of storage for those cases of beer and champers, and of course a much better BBQ arrangement....... so Australian.

[@smeary10]

@@scottrippon9565 Bloody oath!

[@redclawtheotter]

This must be only boat you've ever toured where you can access the engine room from the owner's cabin closet

[@danieltempleton7512]

All Australians are that good looking

[@LoFIJak]

They have a showroom in Auckland and I love looking at their boats whenever I'm down by the harbour

[@ironichumorist]

I love these Rivs. The Aussies build them super-seaworthy and also seem to squeeze an extra 100 miles or so of cruising range out of them as compared to a similar european-built boat (perhaps because of the vast distances involved in cruising Australia?).

[@johningham4942]

This was the first Australian sports yacht I have ever seen nick and for a 70 foot boat they have fitted an awful lot into it. The configuration of course can be arranged to suit the clients berthing needs but over all I prefer the 4 cabin arrangement without the crew cabin as storage comes at a premium on larger boats.

[@bobuncle8704]

Rivera do make a fine boat. Fit and finish looks spot on.

[@TheAtma50]

For the few minutes your tour takes don't you think they would give you free access? You are so diplomatic in your introduction. 424,000 subscribers should stand for something!! Stay Safe & Fair Winds!!

[@borysnijinski331]

12 mins for this guy, 12 mins for that guy…it adds up quickly. Also, 12min video takes longer to record…editing after the fact. Another point is that very few of the 430k viewers subscribed to Aquaholic are the target market (i.e. most of us couldn’t afford the maintenance and fuel to run the boat never-mind buying it).

[@bp1701a]

Nick,.,.this is another GREAT video,,,,,,Thank you.

[@jackirichard414]

Hello. Good looking yacht! 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽🛥🛥🛥🛥🛥🛥

[@juck19]

never clicked a video so fast in my life, this boat looks stunning

[@Adamejdem]

I did clicked I did

[@desmondmccarthy6408]

Nicely done inside, got to say youve presented the same layout 9,654 times and always make it sound like its a surprise!!

[@davidmwood560]

Now, that was one of the best boats yet...really nice.

[@davidhaines3044]

Y'know us Aussies go on and on rightly bemoaning the loss of car manufacturing from our shores, but we really should appreciate there are still quality things produced down under. I don't know what I was expecting, but this looks as good as any Princess or Sunseeker on first glance.

[@R8GT]

Princess and Sunseeker’s don’t even compare to a Riviera. They’re overpriced and the value just isn’t there like with a Riv.

[@Thjonsson1]

Would take the Targa 46 you showed here a couple of days ago if i had the money

[@scottlapierre1773]

Absolutely love your videos! So grateful. I think the non-full beam master with the spacious head between the beam is brilliant! Makes the master feel like a mega yacht VIP - which is beyond magnificent and just so lovely to us lesser folk 😁!

[@Davidm1056]

I would love to see the Belize 66 by Riveria, if possible.

[@seanogden927]

It still amazes me how much they can get into a yacht below decks. Really nice colours and finishes and loads of storage. A very nice yacht all in all. Thank you for another great tour Nick.

[@markshutt1476]

I love this 4 cabin/utility room layout. If you decide you want crew, stick them in the bunk cabin. I like the location of the washer and dryer, but if I was to buy this boat would probably put them in the utility room. Great tour of a beautiful boat, thanks for braving the south of France for us, Nick.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

It's a dirty job, etc...

[@borysnijinski331]

I’m going to hazard a guess and say that you would not be buying this boat.

[@donstaples7827]

Love the utility room, much better use of space than a simple storage room. All of that refrigeration you could stay.out for a long while.

[@alisavas9526]

Great tour, as always and a great, good quality yacht. I love 4 cabin + utility room layout. 2 families with 2 kids each can have a wonderful holiday on this one :)

[@JJ-vy2rh]

Go the aussie

[@daz7490]

Really beautiful looking ⛵.👍😁

[@WOW-li4uj]

Beautiful colors. That is a very interesting layout. First time I have seen a bonus area off master, interesting! Excellent work as usual sir, keep them coming!

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Many thanks!

[@DiddyfloofandMischief]

Love the fact that they utilise every available ince of space for storage on these smaller yachts, I think I'd feel a wee bit cheated on a larger yacht without all the hidden cubbies... course in my case it'd also mean I lost precious time trying to remember where I stowed that thingamajig/doodad that I only needed once a year 😂

[@ramonrodriguez6692]

FINALLY!!!! A Riviera!!!!!!, the range they build alone could give you a year of content, and then, Belize!!!!!!

[@mahimking1562]

Very nice video

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Thanks 🙂

[@jaffaholland4039]

Really like this, would put solar on the roof though, extra quiet at night. Love the 4 room layout. not sure I would want the tender garage, may prefer more engine room, but with a storage for things like seebob

[@anthonybasiliere9366]

I would loose the panels and add a Tesla home battery that would easily run the a/c and and everything else for the night.

[@gca259]

It seems there is nothing about the very-shiny Riviera 6000 that hasn't been done before. Given the amount of toilets, showers and washing machines it would suit a millionaire with a personal hygiene problem... ;-)

[@calumshaw]

Nice boat, but I was peeved right from the outset when the sales team stayed on board, normally your review of the aft entertaining space and garage is an important part of your vlog - your thanks at the end was therefore quite unnecessary. Confirms my love for another Australian yacht builder, Maritimo!!!

[@amarsh14]

Nick, you almost always identify the country of origin of the boats that you review. I live about an hour away from where they are made, but you didn’t mention that they were an Australian builder. 😔

[@eddu4361]

Lovely boat. Only one remark. On a boat with this price tag and size I expect a bow seating area and not just a sun bed.

[@ianlambert6864]

Always wondered how a boat would change for Australian weather and sea conditions. The answer, not much, except for the fiddles on the stove top.

[@jonny7491]

I’m no seafarer or boat expert, but I think the sun lounging area up front could have been made wider and more plush looking.

[@dieynad]

Hello there. This is a really lovely Yacht. Thank you!!! for the great tour, as always. 💐🌻🌺

[@ozcinemarob]

can't believe there's so much cabin room in such a small package of a boat. Well done Riviera !

[@marshallhughes4514]

This is another great review. I always get nervous whenever any boat has a a flat cooktop and doesn't have those holders to keep stuff in place when the boat is rocking.

[@chizzlemo3094]

My only gripe is small, headboards behind the bed so you can't sit up and read a book. A lot of cabins and infills means you can have a lot of friends aboard and fun with this

[@desaudiodesignerhi-fihomea8492]

1,74 million pounds sterling, 1,94 million USD, 2 million EUR.

[@finnmallett7049]

Hey Nick could you please find a salthouse to review? They are an outstanding boat and would love to hear what you have to say about them

[@R8GT]

As a previous 5400 owner and soon to be 6000 owner, I can only say that dollar for dollar Riviera beats the competition hands down. I haven’t seen a better quality yacht than Riviera and this is my 15th boat. . They are very impressive and so well built. Just a joy underfoot, stable and a real head turner! Great video and do more Riviera’s please!

[@AQUAHOLIC]

More coming! 🙂

[@row0111]

how much is the 6000 new?

[@R8GT]

@@row0111 depending on options, the delivered price in the US is approx $2.7-2.8mm. Compared to other similar yachts in its class, it’s a steal.

[@row0111]

@@R8GT so that's like $4mil AUD

[@jonworthing7467]

I like this one. Nice boat.

[@darthkek1953]

Been waiting a while to see you on a Riviera. Lovely stuff. They're all Class-A rated for Oceans too, it might be they don't have the range for the Atlantic but they can take on proper hard North Sea conditions. I personally love their Belize range.

[@BenjusJamentus]

This is the yacht that got me excited about yachting, I even (tried to) built a Lego model of it, so you can imagine my excitement for this video!

Awesome! 😃

These are beautiful,but I'd prefer the Maritimo X 60

[@NeilLeSheepyEpstein]

I love the installation of the four apples at 2:21. For that reason alone I’d buy this boat 😊

[@vamoscruceros]

Buy four of these 775,000 dollar apples, get this yacht absolutely free!

[@danielamazing3264]

Lovely boat, I would definitely go with the larger cabin it looks fantastic! I am still puzzled by the special glass that turns opaque at the touch of a button but none the less great feature! The finishes are great with the light fabric and dark wood I am a fan. Brilliant tour thanks Nick!

Nick, I think your math is off. The 2023 Riviera 6000 nicely optioned, list for slightly under 2.9mm USD and will soon take a price increase in January 2023. FYI. Thanks for a great video.

Take my money! I love this yacht!!

[@Bobbobbob678]

FINALLY AN AUSSIE BOAT!!!! WOOHOO🎉

[@mmsmits2868]

Well-executed yacht, but I particularly love the access to the engine room! Although I would pick full walk-around engine access over a tender garage any day of the week. As for the washer and dryer: Bosch. Like Miele, but lasts twice as long. Liebherr: same thing except twice the price.

[@manuelvanderslikke680]

Hi Nick, and thank you for this great show of this Riviera 6000 Sport Yacht that is a nice one with a big galley that high gloss on the walls sleeps 8 the nice master bedroom with the beautiful bathroom with that special glas in it great but also nice that door in the walking closet to the enige space very nice Thanks again Nick a great show

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you enjoyed it! 🙂

[@MercMan115]

princess 65 sport yacht is still the most impressive sport yacht in my opinion and it's cheaper.

[@darthkek1953]

Sunseeker 65 has that sport-bridge with a super console.

[@R8GT]

Cheaper?? Have you priced the Princess lately? They’re much more expansive and an inferior vessel to the Riv.

[@MercMan115]

@@R8GT at the time of my comment (you are 3 months late) it was cheaper and in my opinion is a better looking and finished vessel.

[@Aran2323]

So I've noticed this on LOTS of boats, even some superyachts, but a lot of the touchscreens and their systems have the responsiveness of a 15 year old phone. If I were spending that much money I'd want the yard to spend a bit more on a system that feels like it's from this decade...

[@andyraven9855]

It's no Gulf Craft Majesty 175 but for a 60ft Sport yacht what a very pretty boat especially with the capability of sleeping 8,I like the utility room but the option to have it as crew if you want it very unusual for a boat of that size with a garage, options abound nice. If I had to say anything negative it would be the top speed seems a little low for a "Sport yacht" but hey ho a small matter. Thank you Nick for another lovely tour sir ❤️ Aquaholics 👌🖖

[@JackBaker954]

Had to double take seeing AUD in the title of an Aquaholic video. Much love from Australia!

[@clifbradley]

This is why I love Riviera, Quality and thought, although I would want the sport fish. That has the livewells a d deck freezer, plus rod holders and polished cap rails.

[@michaelscott4766]

Another excellent video of a beautiful boat, my only thought is to wonder how SeaKeeper feel about the customer spec'ing restraining rails on his cooker hop.

[@sickofthestupid1067]

I cant get past the placement of that BBQ grill...........looks like you can easily smoke out the saloon or have one greasy nasty window to clean every time you toss some steaks on the barbi. other than that its a good looking boat even if overpriced .

[@mhicks80]

Great video as per usual, keep up the good work! Quick question though, is there a reason why the high-low struts are so chunky. Those looked like they could dead lift a transit van.

[@douglasthompson296]

The conversion rate from AUS to pounds is £1.7 million approx, so not a bad price too?

I'm a big fan of Riviera yachts. I'm partial to their SUV series because of the Sportfish elements it brings to the aft of the boat while keeping the cabin end very much a luxury motoryacht.
