2016 Riviera 515 SUV Two boats … in one The sporty and adventurous Riviera 515 SUV joins a growing collection of luxury pleasure boats opening up a whole new world of boating enjoyment for both the avid angler and the cruising entertainer. Indeed, our owners tell us it’s a lot like having two boats … in one. The SUV series is the perfect pairing of two legendary designs, each with its own formidable pedigree … hence its name has automotive origins. Created after worldwide global input from owners the SUV, in many ways, is really your idea. The result, of course, is a versatile vessel like no other – she combines the high-performance, blue-water cruising and fish-raising abilities of the classic Flybridge collection with the single-level, leisurely entertaining features of our very popular Sport Yacht design.The SUV truly is … the best of both worlds. The best of both worlds: Befitting a pleasure boat of this calibre, the 515 incorporates clever and convenient alfresco lifestyle concepts and ultramodern technology with luxurious appointments … not to mention enhanced serviceability, savvy storage and an exacting eye for detail from fit to finish that reminds you that she is nothing less than an Australian-built Riviera. And while she retains the distinct indoor/outdoor characteristics for which Riviera is internationally renowned, this is an entirely new style of luxury pleasure boat. You will sense this new approach from the moment you step onboard – double transom doors allow better access from both the port and starboard sides creating a walk-around island storage centre. In effect, this adds the large swim platform to what is already a full, no-nonsense Flybridge-scale cockpit. The swim platform, with lift-out stainless steel rails, also has a number of options to suit individual owner requirements, for example: custom rod holders and a bait preparation station can be fitted for the angler, as well as a 400kg hydraulic lift to assist with tender storage. The strong fibreglass lid of the transom storage centre lifts up to reveal double BBQ with grill, stainless steel splashback and LED lighting – features that will impress even the most discerning chef. Port-side is a large self-draining locker ideal for swimming and diving gear, which can be converted into a live bait tank with a filter and glass front, or even an additional BBQ for the grand entertainer. In the floor of the 9.90 square metre cockpit are separate hatches – with stainless steel lock-downs – providing direct maintenance access to either of the pod drives, as well as a large, central, self-draining moulded lazarette locker to store cockpit furniture and water toys, and also a deep fish bin to port. Forward there is a comfortable three-seater cockpit lounge to port – upholstered in high-quality weather-proof vi
