505 SUV
When Riviera’s highly-skilled design team set out to create their newest addition to the SUV Collection their first and foremost objective was to make the best of both world’s even better.
The result is the spectacular new Riviera 505 SUV. The same pedigree of a single-level alfresco entertainer with thrilling blue-water ability but with the added dimension of the mezzanine: a beautiful wining, dining and relaxing space offering privacy and protection from harsh sun and weather all year round. Escape par excellence.
The SUV concept demands a generous cockpit, low to the water to maximise the action and adventure of the full spectrum of water sports. And that’s what the cockpit of the 505 delivers. Picture yourself cruising the great waterways of the world, diving in the Bahamas, or fishing on the Reef. Anything and everything is possible on board your Riviera 505 SUV.
World famous, ocean tested, Riviera-build quality and strength underpin spirited, enduring performance and retained resale value.
And no motor yacht could be more luxurious or better appointed.
From bow to boarding platform, you’ll relish the Riviera attention to detail, handcrafted luxury and astonishing operational technology. This is cruising on an unprecedented scale of comfort and ease.
And the 505 SUV adds a new dimension to refined living below decks with a full-beam master stateroom, private ensuite and walk-in robe as well as two guest staterooms with shared bathroom. And then, of course, there is the Volvo Penta Glass Cockpit navigation system and silky-smooth and economical performance of twin Volvo Penta IPS turbo diesels with fingertip easy joystick control.
Escape, explore, relax and unwind.

Australia’s Riviera Marine prides itself on manufacturing boaters’ boats – capable, stylish, well-built motor yachts it can sell to the world.

Sporty Luxury
Predictable handling such as gently healing into turns, is a Riviera trait, as is the solid feel of the hull as it slammed into the wakes of other vessels. Finally, slowing side-on to the stiff breeze I manoeuvred us towards a mooring at South Stradbroke island with a few turns of the joystick, just to…

All in the Family
Being able to stand out in a glamorous range that includes four other SUV models takes something special, writes Kevin Green. Yet, he concludes, this middle sibling – the Riviera 505 SUV – does all this and more.

Captain Steve called the handling “outstanding”. This boat is extremely quiet underway. Recorded at the enclosed helm, the dBA level at WOT was 74: it decreased to 65 at idle. She has the size for living aboard and exhibits a layout that is open and comfortable. We believe she will excel as a dual-purpose entertainer…

“I believe the 505 SUV is destined to become one of the most successful boats ever produced. The Riviera 505 SUV’s demeanour is exceptionally sporty, but seriously seagoing. This is not just a lush harbourside cruiser – indeed, she’s a practical and efficient coastal explorer with true blue water credentials.”

Riviera 505 SUV: Posh and Powerful
If you're looking for a traditional, hardcore, AmerIican-style sportfishing machine, perhaps this boat isn't for you. But if you want a luxurious yacht on which you can entertain, take two (or more) couples along for a weekend, have a boat you can be proud to show off and still seriously fish, then I suggest this…

A Stylish and versatile cruiser with a unique mezzanine
The new Riviera 505 SUV adds elements like twin transom doors that open fully to connect the large swim platform, which can be augmented with yacht rails and an optional lift system. The feature that I found I liked the most, and that really sets the 505 SUV apart from previous models and the competition,…
