- See it here first!
Welcome to the Riviera 58 Sport Motor Yacht. This is a brand spanking NEW model from the Aussie builder and worthy of your attention if you are seeking one or all of the following:
Offshore capable hull
Extra real estate
Ability to manage solo or with crew
Practical design catered to serious boaters
Very good resale in some markets
While I know many Riv owners have already owned multiple Riv's in the past for those of you who are being introduced to this brand you need to think of a vessel that has been designed with ease of use in challenging environments. This is a boat that is happy bashing through waves all day and being belted with harsh sun but the occupants inside will largely remain comfortable and still enjoy the experience.
They allow you to transport a luxury experience to a remote place and enjoy yourself. That's the best way I can describe a Riv and particularly this 58 SMY with her multiple levels. When I say luxury I also mean all the little details - like sound and temperature insulation and the ergonomics of the space below have been designed into the boat and the experience at the helms as the operator of one of these boats is very hard to match. They just do a great job at making blokes (and ladies) of all sizes feel comfortable at the helm of their boats.
PRICE
Riviera has strong forward orders for many of their models so please speak with your local dealer as pricing varies by country, model and delivery time, so it is difficult to quote a specific price at this time.

So glad you're doing sea trials now Captain Steve has left BoatTEST. I really liked those tests and will miss them. (I know he's moved but he seems to be doing fewer reviews these days).
Thanks again for yet another most professional review..! The sound and video, content and editing are just top notch.
Can appreciate the emphasis on the insulation and sound dampening efforts; great variety of camera angles. Amazing tech built into this craft. Very desirable for those who can put it to its best uses.
Your vids are a tremendous help in narrowing down a short list.
I'm happy to hear that Grant! Let your dealer know as it helps me get access to more boats. Many brands still don't understand UA-cam yet
This is such a smooth rider! Beautiful to watch it go and very stable, so i guess with the flybridge it should also be fab as a live-aboard! ❤❤
Live-aboard planing hull? You mad bar steward!! 😄
@@darthkek1953 i am!😜
Love the jet ski, taking advantage of the wake. He's back there jumping the wake
Beautiful looking boat 🎉
Thanks for another fantastic review Dan
Wow, what an awesome boat! I need to increase my income!
Great Vid, Jam packed full of info; One small suggestion (if I may?)... Filming WOT or related speed trails, would be helpful to have a cutaway / picture in picture of engine screens i.e. Seeing in real time, revs, knots fuel burn etc. Great Content & Presenter! What's that? Of course I'd Love a Hat, than you Dan for offering! 😉😉🎩
Really keen to hear fuel figures at slower speeds, Dan. It’s nice to be able to kick speed in, but for me range is more important exploring the big West Oz coastline. We enjoy the slower passages anywhere from 5-10kn, trolling lures behind - so fishing all the way. My current 50ft boat (twin 480 Cummins with Zeus drives) gives me 1Nm per litre at 4.5kn - a range of 2480Nm (3100L) allowing a 20% safety margin. Even at 9kn we’re seeing 2.4L/Nm.
Really keen to upgrade in the future and your boat tests are important in my considerations…but looking for big range at slower speeds. Think trawler speeds.
Please could you add this to your sea trials.
I'd love to see Mulder Favorite series on your channel if you ever get the chance.
1850 rpm, 230 LPH at 17 Knots. So just makes 300 NM with 10 % reserve. So you will make Hamilton island from Gold Coast on two full tanks, or around 8000 litres burned.
Yesvyou csn
2 toes hesver beast bad weather
Looks like the boat puts out perfect jet ski wake. Any one else notice that jet ski get sick air when he was coming back out in the last 5min?
Good spotting!
She sits solidly
Dan, great video. What is the width of the slip that you docked at? This boat has wider beam than most 65 footers. Thanks
Yes it dose
@BoatLife personally from what I can tell. I think that boat would fair better with stabilizers and a SeaKeeper.
Come on then chap ! Put us out of our misery lol. How many fridges ?
I counted a whopping 9 fridge/Freezers. 1 ice maker & 1 wine chiller
(.... comment '2' and the muppet at '1' reckoned 5 😅 )
Hi Bob - Bill from Florida. Why did Riviera decide on Humphries instead of Seakeeper for vessel stabilization? Very curious. And would Seakeepers be available to spec on a southeast US delivery? Thanks.
Humphries is for at speed, seakeeper is for slow speed or near stationary. Vessel has both.
@@nealklar3212
Seakeeper is an option
Is the MY78 on your list ?
Price ?
Tha riviera 58 SMY has 14 Liters fuel consumption at planning speed, the 585 SUV only 9,5 Liters. Bothe have same hull and engine. Does the fly bridge and 2 tons of weight make such a difference?
It's largely aero drag, the enclosed bridges add a significant amount. But 50 % more sounds like more than real world difference. This boat seemed unusually heavy on fuel, I would be getting Volvo out to run some tests.
Yes itvdose
It would have been more convincing if the skipper did all of the berthing single handed. He should have activated the virtual anchor, left the helm to put the fenders out himself, then stepped off the boat to tie up a few key lines and then stepped back on board to complete the berthing and firmed up the final lines. All on his own.
So we often do that. It just depends on timing. I was rushing to get to the airport that afternoon so I just threw the drone up as we were docking and narrated at the same time. For me to film a sequence showing me (or someone else) docking solo it takes 2 or 3 docking attempts for me to film all the angles so I can stick it all together in editing
They probably aren’t as awesome as you are Johnny Boy?
@@OwenB-l8s They are promoting the boats systems, not me. The best way to promote a virtual anchor and owner-operator is to demonstrate it single handed. It's the boat that's awesome sweetheart. And so am I. 😘
213 lurer per hiur bith borer. Tgats 54 gph. Both moters 27 gph.
👍
a boat test in fair seas is of limited use. A boat meant for off shore cruising needs to be able to hand 3 to 5 foot seas with a short period. I can't seem to find any test of this or similar Riveiras in less than ideal seas.
I always take the boats into the ocean for you guys but Mother Nature just gives me whatever she gives me on the day so thats what I'm able to film. In saying that this filming day was the kind of day that you would choose to cruise so hopefully gave a real world experience for some of you. That's also why I run the boat on all points of the swell so you can watch and listen to whats happenning.
@fe_DansBoatLife, the east coast of the US has a lot of shoals, sandbars and a shelf. The inlets can get gnarley and the shelf can have sustained 5 to 7 foot waive just to get to 3 foot seas in the ocean. Boats like pursuit and hatteras have a hull design that excels in these conditions. I've been tryting to learn about Riviera's hull and what the ride would be like in these condition. It is a beautiful and quality boat. Your review is outstanding. i just can't seem to find much about how the hull handles in bigger tight wave patterns.
@@dewanehill1435 It is hard to find a video from the east coast since there aren't many SMY's on the east coast, most are filmed in Australia. There is a video of a 64' SMY coming into palm beach inlet, or jupiter inlet, in FLA, and seems to do just fine.
FUEL FLOW?
