Riviera 505 SUV (2020) - Peformance Video by BoatTEST

On the new Riviera 505 SUV, the builder expects us to “escape, explore, relax, and unwind.” Sounds like a challenge worth taking on.

Hello friends thanks for joining us for the Premiere of the Riviera 505 SUV performance test. Thanks for watching and we are opening up the comments section. We hope everyone can be respectful with their thoughts.

[@stefanknorsch]

Very positive that you opened up the comment section. Gives users the possibility to help each other and me finally the ability to say thank you for all the high quality boat reviews in the past years. 🙏 Keep going on and stay healthy. Greetings from Bavaria.

[@BoatTEST]

Thank you so much! We are super appreciated of all our friends and followers. For some time we could not control the spam we were getting. Hoping that it doesn't happen again. Stay safe in Bavaria, and thanks for watching our videos!

I look forward to having my new 505 delivered in the next 8 weeks after a 2 year long wait! I have watched this and all other videos on the 505 over 500 times 😄

[@BoatTEST]

Congrats!! So happy about your incredible purchase. You are going to love it. We are all jealous at BT. ;) Please send us a picture when you get the boat delivered. [e-mail]

My new 505 Just came in last month after a year and a half of waiting. I too must have watched this and every other 505 video over a hundred times. I knew the boat better than my broker when came in😂

I am so pleased to be able to comment. Steve you are my favorite producer of boating content thank you for you and your teams hard work and keep up this quality content.👍⛵️👍

[@javierandresvelez-martinez4759]

I can say that Captain Steve has been my best pal during quarantine as I recently became a subscriber and fan of your channel. Great content!

[@rahnkeucher6788]

You and me both. Respectfully and sincerely.

[@BoatTEST]

Thanks! Glad you're enjoying our videos!

[@johndonhoff5915]

Definitely one of my favorite reviews to date! I love the hull design of the riviera.

[@Chris-fo8wp]

Riviera builds a great boat!! The 5400 is my personal favorite..Fair Winds, everyone!! I had the pleasure of doing a boat test with Captain Steve and his cameraman on Hull #1 Absolute, 73 Navetta, great guy's!!

[@ct1762]

did a delivery with a Navetta 56 I think or 52. nice boat but that relatively flat hull was awful offshore! at one point we would've been in trouble without the seakeeper.

[@RMarineJonesRivieraQueensland]

Got to love Riviera's. This boat has everything you want!

[@eddu4361]

Nice boat! Can’t wait for the features video!

[@christopherkohel8555]

Thank you Capt. Steve for all of your professional, informative and entertaining boat reviews! I may never be able to afford my favorite live-aboard (hint; starts with X and ends in 60), but this land-lubber appreciates ALL of your videos! Thanks again for allowing me to daydream of sunshine and blue water. Please keep your videos coming. Stay safe! P.S Just watched the accompanying “features” video; if my lottery ticket pans out I’ll be taking this boat for a test ride!

[@bwtejas1]

I agree with some of the comments below - best boating content period, especially during lock downs. Keep up the great work Captain Steve! The only thing I missed on this video was the fuel burn at displacement speeds which is usually covered. Riviera's website doesn't offer any data either. Look forward to the features video!

[@daniels2761]

Steve, you are the best!

[@doolittlegeorge]

Got a great tutorial on proper rope and anchor techniques from TimBatSea on KZbin today who is a Tug Boat Captain from New York. First proper tutorial I have ever seen in point of fact and a solid talk on anchor rode as well.

[@RogerWilco1]

Thanks for opening up the comments. You may not be able to respond to them, but often people can answer each other’s questions.

[@BoatTEST]

This is a great point, thank you! We love the idea of boaters helping each other when we can't get to all the questions.

[@phoenixrisen6935]

Can you get it with prop and shaft and other engines than volvos?

[@chunkychinn]

Impressive, how much?

[@tonym7434]

No mention of the heads, wet bar, galley , cabins etc is this a summarized video? Or a part 1?

[@BoatTEST]

We plan to premier the features video tomorrow.

[@tonym7434]

@@BoatTEST Thanks good to know

[@ethans7917]

Omg I love u guys but please allow comments from now on god damn it

[@tjeffery100]

Doe's the boat have an interior?

[@Chris-fo8wp]

No, that is optional.... :)

[@carlosmiret35]

and... the cabins? it has no cabins, I guess.

[@BoatTEST]
