OFFSHORE TEST - 2023 Riviera 4600 Sport Yacht Platinum
Вставка
- Опубліковано 16 чер 2024
- We take the NEW Riviera 4600 Sport Yacht Platinum for a rest drive offshore in some good swells where we go up and down swell while discussing speeds and fuel consumption plus comfort levels and the overall experience at the helm.
Next we take her inshore to run the twin Volvo 800 IPS (600hp) up to wide open throttle and discover her full speed potential before testing out the slow speed and marina manoeuvring.
Once again Riviera have produced a Sport Yacht that will accommodate a large family for the typical summer day boating activities and keep you happy right up to extended offshore trips to new and far away destinations.
This brand clearly excels at building ultra high quality yet super functional boats that are perfectly suited to harsh environments that include temperature extremes and true ocean conditions.
I found the 4600 to look and feel like a true Sports Yacht and she punches well above her weight when it comes to useability and practical design that will make owner operators lives easier when out on the water.
This is a boat for serious boaters.
Please enjoy,
Dan Jones

Appreciate that! Keep watching and lets make it happen haha
I'm really impressed with the drone you're using 😀
Oh it's just the Mavic 3 Classic. I just fly with all my sensors off and it lets you get really close to the ocea without the drone freaking out.
To my mind, both fuel efficiency and sea keeping demo'd on this run are truly impressive...and especially when maintaining that 8+ LPH fuel burn up past 30 kts. Moreover, giving us that wide angle shot from the opposing lounge area shows us just how comfortable you both were, even in that slop and wind when outside. And GREAT views as well, Dan. (If I thought it would help, I'd be checking my bank balance right now...)
Thanks Jack, i'm experimenting with more angles for you guys so happy you noticed!
Тёлочка огонь.
We have a Riviera SUV model. Would you please comment on the difference in ride quality for off shore between sport yacht hull vs SUV hull. The hull shape is quite different and I assume center of gravity as well. We often run in the North east Atlantic which is very rough and unpredictable. We love the brand but are hesitant switch to the sport yacht.
Yes I can... but which SUV model are you in now and what port are your boating out of? Best to email me info@dansboatlife.com.au as UA-cam doesn't show me your replies on here. Sydney is also rough and unpredicatable which is where I test most of the boats so I should be able to explain if you just give me a bit more info? Overall every Riv I have tested and inspected is what I would refer to as a 'true' offshore hull. It's evident in the way they have been built and the placement of the heavy items within the hull to give you a good center of gravity.
swift trawler the way to go. much more room at smaller. 1/2 the price. comfortable cruising. much less fuel use. 12 knotts but speed if needed.
Swift trawler also a super cool boat. I definately see a place for it in the market. Wouldn't compare this with a Beneteau but I do see the appeal of the trawler for sure.
Optical upgrade to Your side 😜
Yes she's a great hull colour and looked amazing against those rocks!
@@BoatLife_DansBoatLife i dont think he was talking about the rocks :P
So.....Nicole is not your partner....but she's your mate....you Aussies you...
Off shore? the shore is right there mate. You could swim to shore. Put a 100 nm to any land mass, thats off shore.
I'd be happy to. But the dealers lending me their boats for the tests generally have limits on how many hrs I can put on these new boats. Plus as soon as you get out the heads it's 1,000NM+ to any land mass so fairly good testing ground considering the swells we get rolling in.
Not sure I'd want to swim to shore in Australia. 😂
Aren't all boats offshore by their very nature? Think I'd be more impressed if you drove it down the main street.
Nope, definately not. Many are designed for inshore waterways. Might have to start a new channel for main street boat reviews. Dans Trucker Life..?
