Riviera Debuts 5600 Sport Yacht Platinum Edition

Australia-based Riviera has launched Hull No. 1 of its 5600 Sport Yacht Platinum Edition, filling a gap between its 6000 and 6800 Sport Yacht. The four-model series also includes a 4600 Sport Yacht.

The 5600 Sport Yacht Platinum Edition embodies the series’ DNA with a sheltered aft deck that offers outdoor living while remaining protected from the elements. The space has an L-shaped lounge set around a high-gloss wood folding table and a transom settee. According to the builder, there is dining seating for eight guests with additional loose chairs. This aft deck can be protected via a short or long hardtop. For those who like to cook, the area is equipped with a grill, ice maker, refrigerator, sink and more. An electric blind in the hardtop drops to shade the aft deck when the sun gets high. There is also a retractable sunroof overhead for light and breezes when desired.

Inside, a U-shaped galley is located aft to starboard, easily servicing guests inside and outside. Appliances include a three-burner induction cooktop, a convection/microwave oven, a dishwasher, abundant cabinet stowage, solid-surface countertops, a full-height refrigerator and two fridge/freezer drawers. There is also a bar/serving station with a wine cooler and drink cabinet. A countertop overhang with two bar stools creates a breakfast nook.

The 5600 Sport Yacht Platinum Edition’s main-deck interior has an L-shaped lounge to port, within earshot of the galley, the dual-seat helm to starboard and a second L-shaped lounge forward. The area is made bright with nearly 360 degrees of glass as well as a retractable sunroof over the front half of the salon. There are also sliding windows for cross breezes.

When it comes to family cruising time there are three staterooms belowdecks, including a full-beam owner’s stateroom with a walkaround queen berth, settee to starboard and an en suite head with a shower. Hullside windows flank the space, adding light, while ports in the windows allow fresh air into the room.

There is also a forepeak VIP with queen berth and en suite head as well as a guest stateroom to port with two singles that convert to a double for couples.

The Riviera 5600 Sport Yacht Platinum Edition is powered by a pair of 725 hp Volvo Penta D11 IPS950s. Projected performance data is currently unavailable.

Look for the Riviera 5600 Sport Yacht Platinum Edition to debut at the Miami International Boat Show in February.
