I understand the popularity of this boat. It is nice. Also, I continue to be impressed with Nick's ability to remain professional on his tours with crowds.
This yacht simply oozes build quality. Riviera boats are among the highest quality and safest boats built anywhere. If I had the resources this is exactly the boat I would own. Thanks to Nicks channel I have been properly educated on all things that float.
Wow...what a great place to live for the warm months, cruise 1000 miles to your favorite Caribbean resort, sport fish off the back and luxuriate in the evenings. This is a great boat! Checks all the boxes. It's got enough tricked out gadgetry to setup whatever configuration you need, it's got great range and it is so spacious inside especially the accommodations. I love that crew space! An owner operator can problem solve in the middle of the night without having to go topside and open hatches and if you want to enjoy a rainfall shower to wash off the sweat and grime of an engine check, you can take one before you go out into your bedroom! This is a 50 footer that delivers for the price. That's a fair chunk of change but I think, if you have the means, you won't go wrong buying her. Beautiful and ultra functional galley as well. Terrific tour!
Thanks Nick! Not everyone likes a flybridge. Riviera's innovations and modern, up to date Tech for flybridge and sport yachts makes them 2nd to none in my opinion.
Riviera make a fine quality product in Australia. NautiStyles spent a full day+ touring their factory so check out their channel for just how well built these truly are. You get what you pay for so trust the Aussies to do it right. Great tour Nick of a solid & well designed boat with lots of space for a relatively small yacht.👌🙏🇨🇦👍
I think that's a really practical and well thought out boat, I also love the fastest tour in the West! It just got quicker and quicker 😃thank goodness you could access the engine room from inside otherwise chaos would ensue!
Cor, we're swimming in Waves these days, aren't we? I love it!! A lot of boats try to cram a load of stuff in, while some others try to include a little bit of everything... Riviera seem to have instead concentrated on making sure you have enough of everything (especially that headroom!), before adding on nice and innovative little touches. The interior is a bit hotel-like for me, but even then it's enough that I would be very happy aboard this!
It amazes me Nick, how the design team of this boat have done a lovely job of designing this boat, spent the time setting a build standard then spoil it by making the crew quarter access via the Owners Cabin or up through the Engine room access stairs. It just comes across as “Back of The Bus” Ergonomics.
What a nice yacht the layout is quite convenient for entertaining . The master cabin is exceptional, very nice option to be able too cruise 2000 miles if desired. Thanks for the tour Nick
Love this boat. The different "zones" just seem to work for me. One of my favorite owners cabin. It's a nice cabin, then you see the walk-in closet and think Wow!, but wait, another room. Normally I'm all about keeping the crew cabin as overflow/storage. In this case I'd go full on utility room. As a bonus, easy access to the engine room. Thanks for a look, Nick.
A beautiful boat. Very well thought out too. Could happily live aboard and cruise at will. A very easy craft to live with. As always, an excellent tour, thank you Nick
The superlative of my beloved Botnia Targa, Nord star or Sargo. These are the workhorses, this beautiful Riviera is clearly the luxury horse. 😉 The same concept to a higher but above all more luxurious level. It's like a Lada or a Rolls Royce. They both get you from A to B, but the difference is in the luxury, appearance and price tag. And ships without a flybridge always have an advantage for me, but that is a personal taste. Perfect video again, Nick. Especially considering the circumstances at such a show, you always know how to make the best of it despite the crowds.
Hi Nick. Lovely boat and 40+ sold already...... sheesh. No wonder Riviera haven't the time, or inclination (or profitability no doubt) to build us poor Aussies the 35' SUV we REALLY want, with V drives and a starboard helm with door if you're listening Riv.... haha . Cheers S
I love the outside of the boat, but inside, the galley takes up 2/3 of the room. I would prefer a smaller galley and a bigger area with couches and chairs. Awesome boat.
Hull #13 (our good friends) 585 just got loaded onto cargo ship this week for it's long journey to the US. I can't imagine how long people will have to wait for theirs to be built.
Scurrying kritters all in Nick's way while showing me a vessel I love ( YET can never afford) 😂😂 All jokes aside Riviera builds a beautiful boat and you Sir do a most awesome walkthrough! Thank you so for sharing this beauty.
Amazing !! Love the helm wind shield ! No blind spots ! Really love the lower color scheme, looks almost like a light blue ? Very impressed with the ensuits as well. The "crew cabin"\"over flow" is perfect, even with their own ensuit. Not too crazy about it being a "wet bath", was it ? but hey, not my cabin ! LOL ! I too agree, it's a bit pricey but you really get your money's worth ! Thank you Nick ! Hello to M !
When I saw the internal saloon I wasn't sure it feels a bit cramped and squeezed in but the more you went on the more I loved this boat really great layout
When you first went aboard, I was not entirely sure I liked the back yard. By the time you finished, I loved it ❤ What is the Aquaholic Black Friday discount and will you take a cheque 😂
Wonderful tour of a smart design. I was hoping you would open the access hatch as you were leaving the owner’s cabin, and once again you delivered. Thank you!
Beautiful boat nick big thank you for sharing this with us. Would love to be the owner not too big but big enough for a family with the seperate areas its great. 😊
Very nice boat. If I could get the wood in a satin finish instead of a high-gloss I'd get out my checkbook (lol, right?) I really like this design. Another great tour.
I find it really interesting that with the higher ceilings it actually looks more confined. I know it wouldn’t feel that way and being 6’3” I always appreciate every inch of headroom.
Some nice features, including the zonal seating areas, but if I was in the market for a boat of that size and type I would be concerned by how exposed those helm controls were to accidental knocking from passenger through traffic.
Lovely tour Nick as always, however when you're on an Australian boat it's not a "grill" it's a "Barbie" (as in barbecue). Sorry you got so rushed through on that one, obviously a popular boat. Chuffed to get two mirror waves in there though 😊
looks a smaller Nordharvn where the owner cabin is next to the engins. You can sleep 4 in the owners cabin. The sofa, the utility room and 2 in the bed. Have a very small child, make it 5.
Wonderful boat. I notice that the Aussie boats and American boats seem to favor gloss wood work while the European don't. Am I right on that? Is there a reason?
Good afternoon Nick. Hope you’re doing well I think I’ve just missed out of being first but absolutely loving your videos. Just wondering if you are going to do a maintenance video this year on smugglers blue2?
It's not hard to understand why this boat is selling so well. It's one of the best designed "Owner operated"-level yachts I think I've seen. I love the back area providing support for fishing and activities while still maintaining that "outdoor deck" feel. Usually you get one or the other (most prefer just the deck).
This was built to withstand brutal seas that see monsoons, typhoons, and gets stored in areas of hurricane seasons. For the Mediterranean it is a million plus over-engineered. But I'd want one on the far side if the world and would avoid Cat B European boats like the life of my entire family depended upon it.
Riviera are without doubt one of the best and safest and quality built boats in the world 🌍 nothing cheap on them all quality that’s because they are Australian 🇦🇺 built if you want more in your boat but it’s cheap stuff then buy a Sea Ray
@@darthkek1953I'm skipper on Mediterranean and belive me we have storms here that sink ships, I was diving yesterday on 60m cargo ship that was tied to dock with multiple lines in large port and wind was so strong that all lines broke in night and wind with waves sunk 60m long steel ship. Not sure what you people that don't sail in Med think this is, but it is not a lake, not even close to it.
The crew cabin reminds me of a DOG HOUSE for the husband when he ticks the wife off! Not that I've ever in my life ticked my wife of 35 years off! Nice yacht Nick😁👍😎✌🗽
For boaters on a budget this is an unmissable opportunity to pamper your family and friends with three luxurious staterooms including a full-beam master, three bathrooms and a crew cabin or utility room with dedicated laundry. If your name is Douglas, imagine how good it's going to feel when guests say "Oh Malcolm, how wonderful that your yacht has a choice of two superb dining options - on the alfresco deck and in the spacious saloon - as well as a third U-shaped, 8-seat entertaining area on the foredeck!" To which you can respond; "Thanks, but why the hell are you calling me Malcolm??"
i have watched at least 50 boats on your channel...i still can't figure out which boat is for river/backwaters/gulf/high seas etc when we go whale watching here in california..i can barely stand let along holding a glass of water...the water is insanely choppy...everything on this boat is useless on the pacific...can u please mention what's the ideal place for the boats on your show...
Nice quality usable boat…… not brash of chintzy 🙂 I’m finding I’m drawn more to the aesthetic of the non-flybridge boats, not that I can afford to pick and choose……. Good grunt and pod drives with an excellent engine space……. 🙂🇬🇧
Love the interior, but the aft layout doesn't do it for me at all. Big empty white areas resulting in rather cramped looking cockpit seating. There may be a good reason for it, but I'm not having it!
Another wonderful review! Great looking boat! Would the throttles and joystick controls ever pose a problem being exposed and “get at-able” near the walk way? My wife’s side comes from a lineage of monkeys who like to swing and climb and touch every lever and switch they train their beady little eyes on. And that’s not just the children😂. Take care and thanks for taking us along!!
i was wondering where the yacht builders buy the kitchens etc.. is there some sort of company who sell all things (oven,dishwasher,gas stove, kitchen cabinets, refridgerators)... i always see the same stuff of that in yachts
I understand the popularity of this boat. It is nice.

At under 60ft, it's not really a crew operated boat
Very spacious very well laid out inside and out👍
What a nice yacht the layout is quite convenient for entertaining . The master cabin is exceptional, very nice option to be able too cruise 2000 miles if desired.
Thanks for the tour Nick
Glad you enjoyed it! 🙂
Very beautiful, you never dissappoint.
Great tour of one of my favourite brands. Love the attention to detail, build quality and focus on practical family living.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Lovely video of a lovely boat. Thank you Nick.
Glad you enjoyed it 🙂
This baby has enough room to live on. Great video. Love this boat.
Glad you enjoyed it! 🙂
The only wish I have for Cristmas is that Nick films 365 yachts next year. So I can enjoy one video every day...
That would be a challenge! 😄
I know 😆 All the planning and travelling you do already must be enormous... @@AQUAHOLIC
Hi Nick, one of the smartest and practical layouts i've ever seen. I think there are some more also wooden options, so it'll be nicer!
Well done!
Yes, there are alternative interior finishes. Glad you liked it! 🙂
Thanks for the tour! 👍👍
Thanks for watching! 😃

Nick, I love when you point to something up somewhere but don't fully point the camera up 😁 and I love the fact that you always edit them out! 😅
If at anytime i see Nick working a yacht over at a show, I'm getting in line..star power 💯💥👍
Riviera make some of the best boats up to 80 feet in the world just love their design, style and practicality
Great tour, and a lovley boat. Thank you 😊.

Very nice express cruiser, the owners cabin is very nice. For under 60 foot boat it is nicely laid out.
This is like a center console and I like it
Lovely boat nick would go on a goid trip on that
I like this boat a lot. Great video as always. Good day.
Very nice looking capable boat, nice little touches like the fuel gauges.

really cool boat. would be great for northern hemisphere in that it can be closed off nicely. great review as always Nick

For Australia it has to be a blue water boat, we have no inner passage so extended cruising it needs the rough water capability.

Nice to slep on the washing machine near the engines
"crockery" makes my day again.

Very good review of this boat Nick, thank you. Any smugglers videos coming soon?
Not at the moment, I've been so busy that the poor thing has barely moved.

I do like the ones with the crew booty call door adjoining the master lol...
Very nice boat. Love a great Aussie product. Thanks for the great tour Nick!

This is a great yacht. Now all I need is the $4 million.
I think he made a mistake. I think it's $3.8 AUD not USD.
Galeon and Riviera yachts are the best, plus Nick breaking something on a Riviera? Never, wouldn't happen. A Galeon....Definitely. a Riviera...nah
I know many will be wanting more teak, we just can't run too much teak in Aus, too punishing and the up-keep is out of this world!
Good afternoon Nick. Hope you’re doing well I think I’ve just missed out of being first but absolutely loving your videos. Just wondering if you are going to do a maintenance video this year on smugglers blue2?

That's the price and there's no fly bridge. That's not any bang for the nick. Its a nice yacht. But not for that price. Thank you Nick
If you simply want the biggest boat you can buy for the money, you could probably find something bigger. This majors on quality build. 🙂
