  • This is the first tour and test of the Riviera 6800 Sport Yacht Platinium which was recently premiered to the public in Australia at the Sanctuary Cove Boat Show.
    For a vessel of this size I am amazed that the operation of this boat is still just as easy and functional as the smaller Riv's. The Volvo DPS with Dock Assist actually makes this 70ft+ yacht as easy to handle as a 40ft'er!
    Riv have achieved something that in my opinion is going to keep families together. A boat like this, that is this easy to operate will facilitate relaxed days. If the skipper isn't loosing his marbles because of a close call at the dock then everyone will be enjoying themselves - and they will come again. I predict days onboard this 6800 will be cool, calm and relaxing.
    Enjoy

      Honestly this brand is worthy of all the attention. It appears they don't stuff anything up. Or if they do they find it and fix it before the owners gets the boat. That's how it appears to me anyway.

    This boat is perfect size. Just big enough for elbow room. And small enough to owner operate.
    The 600 model was a tad too small. 68 is good balance.

    The WINE COOLER DUAL TEMPERATURE:
    Red wines generally benefit from slightly warmer temperatures than white wines, so the upper zone of a dual zone wine cooler is typically set cooler for whites and the lower zone warmer for reds.

    Absolutely love Riviera. Love their Sport series with the exception of that guant platform outback for the tender. Not something you want on a sportfish yacht. That was a huge design f,aw and nobody will tell me if you can option the yacht without it. You can put the tender up front so it isn't really needed. But when fishing you don't want the tender there amd you can deploy the temder, but then to where? On the front deck? Yes but then the seating for people not fishing can't get away. So then youmtender is tied up nexxt to you and hopefully not getting in the way. The design doesn't make sense. Does Viking, Betram, Jarret Bay, Rybovich, Mikkelsen or any of them do that? No!

    Very nice, Dan but I'm waiting for Riviera to provide an option for nuclear power, like a sub, carrier etc.
    If I owned this beautiful 6800, I wouldn't want to stop to refuel more than every 6-12 months. Could you ask Riviera if that's possible ... money no object.

    • @BoatLife_DansBoatLife
      @BoatLife_DansBoatLife  26 днів тому +1

      I would be totally pro-nuclear powered boats. Imagine what we could achieve with mini nuclear reactors. They could even help power the grid when you’re not out boating.

    I'm not a fan of 'Sport Boats' but this isn't, it's a proper yacht in the true sense. Nice to see a proper garage, not just a pocket for those dreadful jet tenders. A 2nd aft joystick would help in the Med, so too a real passerelle. Lovely around, Riv can do no wrong.
