The original 5000 Sport Yacht launched in 2009 and went on to find owners across Australia, New Zealand, Europe and the United States. This new edition carries that legacy forward with Riviera's Sport Yacht philosophy at its core: strong performance, contemporary luxury and design built for effortless blue-water living.
Riviera owner Rodney Longhurst points to the new 5000 as proof of how far the company has come over 46 years, calling it a coming together of the brand's luxury, artistry and engineering. At 50 feet, it sits at what many owners consider the sweet spot; enough yacht for serious long-range cruising, without losing the ease of owner operation.
From the Water Up
Step aboard via the teak-laid hydraulic swim platform and the thinking behind this yacht is immediately clear. The platform lowers to create a private beach club at anchor, with cascading steps for easy water access. Below the aft deck sits a tender garage, sized for a 2.8-metre tender with outboard and fitted with an electric winch for simple launch and retrieval.
Built for Entertaining
The aft deck is the social centre of the boat: a transom lounge spanning the beam, an elegant dining setting and a fully equipped alfresco galley with barbecue, refrigeration, ice maker and wet bar, all under an electric sunroof. Open the saloon door and awning window and the deck extends straight into a single-level living space with handcrafted timber cabinetry, comfortable lounges, panoramic views and a galley fitted with premium appliances and considered storage.
Forward, the wide side decks lead to an entertaining foredeck with sun lounges, companion seating, an integrated icebox and an optional awning, a quiet spot to drop anchor and switch off.
At the Helm
The helm pairs touchscreen navigation with joystick manoeuvring controls and a curved-glass windscreen for superior visibility, whether you're offshore or threading into a busy marina.
Accommodation
Owners choose between a two- or three-stateroom layout. Both include a full-beam master suite with generous storage and a private ensuite, plus a forward VIP stateroom for guests. The two-stateroom configuration adds the option of a lower lounge that doubles as a media room or extra sleeping space.
Power and Smart Systems
Twin Volvo Penta D8 IPS 800 engines, 600 hp each, deliver the performance and efficiency this size of yacht is known for. Owners can add Sentinel remote monitoring, Volvo Penta Assisted Docking, Praxis solar charging, Seakeeper stabilisation and Starlink connectivity. Coverage includes Riviera's two-year express and seven-year structural warranties, plus a five-year Volvo Penta warranty on engines, drives and electronics.
Transform your Christmas holiday
