What makes the Riviera 585 SUV So GOOD? A Comprehensive Tour & Review by YachtBuyer

Is the Riviera 585 SUV the best 60ft coupe on the market?
In this in-depth tour and review, Jack Haines finds out what makes this Australian-built coupe such a successful formula.
Riviera’s are boats designed to be used with deep-vee offshore hulls and strong performance. The 585 SUV will top out at 35 knots with the largest IPS1350 motors with 1,000hp on each side.
The exterior is a great mix of leisure space and well-designed areas for watersports and fishing. The lower cockpit is wide and packed with storage and with options for rod storage and live bait wells is perfectly suited to casting rods and fighting fish. The raised mezzanine deck is well-shaded and ideal for alfresco dining close to the galley.
Inside, the boat rings with quality and practical detailing. The woodwork is outstanding, as is the practical detailing. With the galley aft and the lounge area forward, there is a home-from-home feel to the saloon, which is packed with storage space and natural light from the huge saloon windows.
Below deck, there are three good cabins including a VIP ensure forward and a twin with sliding berths that switch between two single beds or a double at the touch of a button. The owner’s suite is amidships and it has direct access to a utility space/crew cabin which lies between the cabin and the engine room.
Let us know in the comments what you think of the Riviera 585 SUV and whether you think it’s the best boat in its class.

Definitely my favourite boat without a flybridge 👍🏻 Thanks for showing jack 🤌🏻

[@dazzler5012]

Another great video. I really like the theme music you guys use well done. Keep up the great work.

[@Yachtbuyer]

Thanks, will do!

[@seanogden927]

That is a very nice yacht, so much room and great finishes with a good spec. I like everything about this yacht, I could definitely live on this. Great tour Jack thank you.

[@Yachtbuyer]

Thank you very much! - J

[@ministersmith5508]

Heyyy Captain Jack!! Great video 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽💯💯💯💯

[@fishtigua]

A fantastically well thought out boat. Could see myself living on that for the summer.

[@eva-scott]

Great video - thanks YachtBuyer team 👏👏

[@Yachtbuyer]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@chrisoleary9876]

Thanks Jack! Riviera is just simply...badass!

[@antoncarmoducchi6057]

I live close to the factory at the Gold Coast. They are really well built yachts, and that reflects in their high resale value. Their offshore ability and general robustness is due to local South East Queensland marine conditions, you simply have to have something robust and brisk.

[@rickroche583]

Jack, the options on stabilisation; Could describe differences between them and pros & Cons maybe? Thanks fro the great work.....👍

[@matthewmartin1970]

I'm just a little bit in love with this boat.

[@jaffaholland4039]

Very nice

[@The_Arby]

Beautiful yacht...Liking this one better than there new flybrige model...Nice walkthrew Jack 🙂

[@Yachtbuyer]

Many thanks!

[@eirikbirkelund7421]

Can you review the Paragon 31 cabin?

[@stever7732]

Thank you for that. With a Riviera boat I am again wondering about the positioning of the throttles. They seem so vulnerable to accidental knocking from passing passenger traffic at the top of stairs when the boat is pitching and rolling.

[@Yachtbuyer]

Interesting point. Hopefully we can investigate that if/when we manage to sea trial the boat - Jack

[@dieterhell815]

Great boat, but I really fall in love with the same, but super Sport with fly.

[@Yachtbuyer]

We've got a tour of that coming soon, too 😁

[@rtbinc2273]

When I get that winning ticket ...

[@scottprice8994]

It will go 400 miles at the cruise speed of 27 knots. That is very good. I wonder what the range is when cruising at say 6 knots? I would guess it would be well over a thousand miles.

[@adrianrubi5012]

2 barbecues in the perfect location.

[@scottdynek2728]

Is the day head a wet room?

[@SeanSoraghan]

Day head with separate shower

[@LordLauderdale]

AUD or USD?

[@Yachtbuyer]

USD

[@antoncarmoducchi6057]

great exchange rate. AUD is worthless.

[@LordLauderdale]

@@Yachtbuyerthat’s an expensive boat for the size.

[@RussellBond13]

Kind of skipped over the bathrooms. Did the VIP have a shower?

[@Yachtbuyer]

Yes it does 👍

[@scottrippon5039]

Jack..... it's a Riv.... it's an Offshore Boat! X 20 haha! and it probably doesn't rattle like a millionaires baby either.....😂

[@ironichumorist]

riv makes a hella robust vessel.

[@antoncarmoducchi6057]

as robust as GRP can be.

[@jacobotam1037]

SUV doesn't match with IPS..traditional shaftline would have been more appropriate

[@vorjay]

they make the Maritimo S60/S600 for the shaft drive.

[@bobbuilder5362]

Great Boat, but volvo IPS No thanks.

[@vorjay]

they have Maritimo s600/s60 for people that want a shaft drive.

[@bobbuilder5362]

Riviera is a better finished product, Maritimo has the better drive options. @@vorjay

[@SeanSoraghan]

Whats wrong with ips ?

[@vorjay]

@@SeanSoraghan more to maintain

[@bobbuilder5362]

I can only suggest you research.@@SeanSoraghan
