From cockpit to accommodation deck, the Riviera 525 SUV was designed to offer a flexible lifestyle: cruising, entertaining and fishing. The cockpit includes a mezzanine lounge in the port fore quarter, ideal for al fresco dining. Seating throughout the cockpit and a barbecue unit and wet bar at the starboard fore quarter keeps guests happy and drinks cold. A large awning window and sliding glass door connected the cockpit seamlessly with the interior with its fully equipped aft galley, including an induction cooktop, convection microwave oven, under-bench fridges and dishwasher.
Forward of the galley the salon includes a dining area on the port side with U-shape lounge seating. The hi-lo fold-out table offers a range of options for various times of day - breakfast, a coffee table for afternoon snacks and the full table for the evening meal. A long lounge stretched along the starboard side. The impressive helm, with skipper and companion seats, are positioned forward of the dining area on the port side.
The accommodation deck provides two generous staterooms plus a twin-bed cabin and two bathrooms. The owner could choose which of the staterooms should be the master - amidships on the port side with a large hull window plus opening porthole or the forward stateroom.
BoatTest.com describes her as: "a multi-mission yacht that can function as a blue-water fishing vessel, an extended-stay cruiser or an entertainment platform".
Leisure Boating's review said she offers a "fabulous command center located within the main salon allowing for easy conversation between the lounge and galley areas".
