Riviera 645 SUV (2022) - Features Review by BoatTEST

Like the rest of the SUVs, the 645 can keep guests comfortable during an extended cruise and can entertain a crowd with equal aplomb. Riviera’s design team collaborated with 4D designs to offer three or four staterooms, three heads and a utility room with single crew quarters aft.

Great boat from a quality boat builder in Australia. These Riv's have been a standout in Oz for years and its great to see this Aussie success story showing others how its done.

[@mr.vancouver007]

This is maybe the most beautiful vessel in this category (suv) like captain Steve said its got everything and more you could ask for and I absolutely love it

[@blewyd]

I completely agree. Riviera has been making some of the nicest boats in every way imo

[@blewyd]

Riviera never fails to make an absolutely beautiful and top of the line yacht. Wold work is incredible. Props to the design team

[@stuartkidney3257]

Captain Steve wants this boat for Christmas! Home run by Riviera!

[@miguelrodfher]

This man’s videos are so wholesome, even the music is crazy good….got me here trying to figure out what organ to sell so I can afford a small as Sea Ray 260 he reviewed last week

[@floridaoutdooradventures8981]

I can easily live on this boat for the rest of my life! -:) SO WELL DESIGNED AND I LOVE THOSE BIG WINDOWS, NOT TO MENTION ALL THE FISHING AMENITIES!

[@martinluke9470]

Big windows? Like in the VIP cabin? 🤣

[@kendraroberts9052]

Beautiful 😍

[@sadenuttie2234]

See so many riviera’s in Australia. So glad

[@mikeperth8027]

Great boat by a great Aussie boat builder.

[@clifbradley]

This is so awesome. What a great boat that hits all those spots. I think I remember the crew area and it was small, had 2 berths with thin pads. But 2 crew is plenty if you run it yourself or a captain. Coastal cruise that thing for 2½ weeks from Florida to Alaska, or Florida to the Bahamas or LA Playa.

[@The_Arby]

Beautiful...Definitely my new favourite...Nice one Capt Steve...Thanx for showing :-)

[@daddiospatio]

Rivieras are fast becoming a favorite!

[@alisavas9526]

This is a great boat, went straight up to the top of my favourites list! Another great tour!

[@tonysimi5763]

beautiful boat

[@decencywarrior9598]

Thanks Captain Steve ! Beauty!

[@TheZoePath]

Brilliant boat! Everything about it's deisgn was spot on!

[@johnhiggs325]

I like that they didn’t use an electric lift for the salon tv. One less thing to go wrong.

[@markward3242]

As always another great review

[@LS2caddy]

I think a day head would work great where the bar is on this boat. Possibly even adding a door from the side decks to enter from outside also.

[@darthkek1953]

Dissapointed not to hear about an "elevated level of fit and finish" and you could point out the BBQ grill was a DOUBLE grill. Yes, it has one on grill and one on griddle at the moment, but you can buy those plates cheap enough. A single BBQ grill is OK for a small family but it's undersized for larger groups and feasts.

[@JohnSmith-zo6ir]

Agree. In Australia we design the BBQ first and then the boat is built around it.

[@sadenuttie2234]

[@Corvette_pilot]

The Riviera 645 SUV has just been moved up to my new lotto win yacht! Replacing the Viking 64 sport fish. 😎🤙🏼

[@franksmith3602]

It's a nice yacht. Detail spot on. But the Lexus 65 interior still is somewhat nicer. Also the Lexus 65 with 3 pod motors, is perfit for fuel savings. But the Lexus 65 is more for dress up sun downers. Still boat test.... great video...

[@DriveSafeDon]

Captain Steve looks like Riviera made a beautiful yacht that I would be interested in buying I’m very impressed. Also impressed on your showing like always very well dune. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@alrangele9915]

Nice👍

[@bwatson7586]

Can't help but think the bar area is for a lonely drunk. As Captain Steve would say, I would like to see the command center move over giving access to the accommodation from the middle of the boat to create space for an extra bar stool so that the drunk is not lonely.

[@truebluekit]

I think this is the boat I should aim for. Not too big, not too small, has all the specs for fishing, but has all the comfort of home so that the wife and kids won't feel like they're being put through boot camp. I hope it won't be too expensive.

[@stuartkidney3257]

2 million USD ?

[@LordLauderdale]

Too sales driven, the layout on the upper deck is very impractical for a boat of this size yet maybe works well for the US market as a hybrid sports fishing / yacht vessel. The lower deck seems much more economical.

[@duckwings6245]

$3 M for this??? OMG... I will just sleep and hope to own it in my dreams.

[@120Livi]

Kitchen island really eats into the space, looks ridiculous. Access to the crew cabin through the master cabin is another silly decision

[@christophers7070]

mmmmmm. Tough crowd. I would not say no to one.

[@darthkek1953]

Why? It gives the master an escape route. And at this size most owners will operate, that's why the crew space is entirely optional. Much more likely is it'll be a storage area with two overflow berths.

[@120Livi]

@@darthkek1953 I was thinking it's the only access into the crew space not a second access.

[@darthkek1953]

@@120Livi Good God no, that WOULD be a disaster! The other / main access would be through the transom and the engine room. Doubtless that door is lockable on the Master's side for privacy too.

[@oneslackr]

@@120Livi : "I was thinking it's the only access into the crew space not a second access." No offense but that's funny. I'm sure by now you already watched Capt. Steve's test video of this yacht but if not check it out - kzbin.info/www/bejne/iYLcooOvjayIas0

Messy design….
