Riviera 4300 Sports Express

A GO-ANYWHERE SEA VESSEL WITH GRAND PROPORTIONS

Riviera smoothly moves forward to contemporary design in this Euro-styled model, reports Kevin Green. Swapping an open cockpit found on its SUV range or the raised aft deck found on its Sport Yacht range for a fully covered yet open helm and deck makes the first of many bold statements on this new Sports Express model from Riviera. So, this new design, 4300, has a lot resting on its shoulders.

Attracting new people to the Riviera family of yacht owners, while maintaining the company's blue-water, sturdy offshore hull designs, and utilising the proven Volvo Penta IPS system were all part of the design brief.
As Rodney Longhurst, the owner of Riviera explained at the models launch during the Sanctuary Cove Boat Show, more integration with our water world has been paramount in this new design: “Boating is all about enjoying that special place and sharing family time together; to meet up with friends, relax, explore, swim, snorkel or paddleboard. This is where the Sports Express excels as the entire stern of the yacht is free and open to allow exceptional access to the water for your maximum enjoyment.”
Another key to this design concept is speed and the ability to get there at over 30 knots, should the need arise; thus, the 'Sports' designation is well earned.
