Happy to see the ability to comment, your video's, reviews, and knowledge are always top notch. This yacht was a total surprise, as if it was endless. If we did not know OAL it would be difficult to guess. Nice to see you do not need to get a bigger boat to get everything you need. Great Engineering and design to go along with the workmanship, altogether works very well.
Absolutely stunning, Being Australian based I have been a huge fan of Riviera for a long time now. Their performance and sleek style I see on the water is superb. I have a stunning 4800SY that docks next to me in the Marina. I love the cockpit and raised mezzanine on the 505. Time for me to upgrade I think! Outstanding review of the features on this vessel Captain Steve, looking forward to the next one.
Great boat! Captain Steve is my absolute favorite. Well spoken, very knowledgeable and points out not so obvious yet important features. Excellent review! So happy to be able to write this response as the comments are now allowed.
They really did a usable layout. The fact that everyone in the dining and the couch can watch TV at the same time makes it a great social zone. Other boats, even larger ones, have the TV pop up behind the couch which makes the couch useless. I'd still put a full standup fridge in, maybe behind the TV. The ottoman can be used as a table for the couch anyway. So no need for the side table. Even with the size, it still has 2 helm chairs and space for a washer & dryer. Also a walk-in closet and lounge area for the masters. One of the most well designed layouts I've seen. I can't emphasize enough the usability.
Wow Capt. Steve, you've been showing a lot of decent boats lately, but I have to say that this takes 1st prize. Going to go and watch the engine and test video now. .
I think this is for a specific buyer looking for a *Sporty Look.* Immense amount of thought out sea-keeping present for what is something the luxe-cruiser makes rarely if ever even consider let alone execute on. I agree its been done here by Riveria.
Wow, wow, wow! What a boat! Any chance of reviewing another similar yacht like a Tiara. I don't think you've reviewed of those for a while. Only an idea, but you might create some videos where you directly compare yachts that are similar in length and style.
Thanks for the Tiara Suggestion Fat Cat. If you go on boattest.com -- And pick a boat you like you can use the "compare to other boats" feature. Its super easy to use.
Whilst all of your videos go into great detail with the boats you are testing, I much prefer this type of relaxed presentation rather than your normal "voice over" type which i feel is a little clinical. Having said that, I couldn't do what you do so perhaps ignore me and carry on with whats best for you...thanks for the great content.
"The two forward windows slide open, and they slide manually, there are no gimmicks on this boat... Overhead, a sunroof!" 🤦🏽 And you just told us about the "gloss factor". Constructive criticism: it is easier to trust someone who doesn't rationalize missing features or add unimportant features. Also, stay out of the shots of reflective stuff and stop leaning on everything.
Impressive boat with excellent choices regarding layout and details. Great presentation as well.

We agree! Thanks for watching and for sharing your comments!
WOW, what a great boat, another home run from Riviera!!
Lovely Vessel! Looks like they listened to the consumer at every design stage.
Capt steve does an amazing job doing a review on this Riviera. Great videos for someone who might be looking to buy a boat, and not just a brief tour.
blewyd thank you so much that is certainly our goal. :) and do sign up on Boattest.com to see more specs on the boat.

Captain Steve the legend!!🐐🐐🐐 Keep em coming I need something to dream about
Real nice built boat. Super finish. Only one thing I like to see, a bow seating area. Boat looks good too.

Great video, much appreciated from Lismore NSW Australia
Very well thought out boat, I love it!
Great review on the 505 SUV! It really is a fantastic boat!! Thanks, Captain Steve!
CAPT. Steve..great job as usual. The video starts with a long countdown, but once we get past that its awesome.
Will have to look into that. Thanks for the comment.
@@BoatTEST Steve, the countdown is gone now..thanks.

Love it. Impressive boat with huge room for the size! I never heard of them in Europe, which seems to be a real shame.
Fantastic boat thanks captain Steve

Nice and classy
Great Job on Analysis!!!!

Very interesting boat with a lot of useful and intelligent features. What is the price in Spain?
Very nice Video!
Beautiful and amazing boat!

Pricing starts at $1.6 Million US dollars.
Why am I watching this, I don't even play the lottery?
Start a business
Great Zombie apocalypse boat to take to the Bahamas!
Til the fuel runs out.
“No gimmicks on this boat” (referring to manual sode windows)...... then opens electric panoramic sunroof 😂
Oh yay I’m earlyyy!!! :)))
Clearance is too low.

Ok...please stop molesting the glossy wood. It’s just
weird. Nice presentation otherwise. Beautiful vessel.
It's pretty but definitely not a passage maker
