A Bold Leap Forward
Riviera, the renowned Australian yacht manufacturer, has taken a significant step in redefining luxury yachting with the upcoming launch of the 5000 Sport Yacht Platinum Edition. This sophisticated vessel, set to make its global debut in late 2026, is a remarkable evolution of the beloved 5000 Sport Yacht that first graced the waters in 2009. With a focus on enhancing both performance and livability, the Platinum Edition is poised to capture the hearts of yacht enthusiasts and casual cruisers alike.
Envisioning Comfort and Connectivity
Measuring 53 feet, 4 inches in length, the 5000 Sport Yacht Platinum Edition boasts a generous beam of 15 feet, 5 inches, creating an expansive atmosphere that seamlessly blends indoor and outdoor spaces. This thoughtful design caters to the modern owner’s desire for connectivity, whether entertaining guests or enjoying a peaceful retreat at sea.
At the heart of the yacht’s social experience is the aft deck, featuring a well-appointed lounge area, a stylish dining space, and an outdoor galley equipped with a barbecue, refrigeration, an icemaker, and a wet bar. The integration of an electric sunroof enhances the ambiance, ensuring natural light flows throughout the area, while the salon door and awning window can be opened to create a unified space that invites the sea breeze.

Luxury Meets Practicality
Below deck, owners can select from two- or three-stateroom configurations, both designed to maximize comfort and functionality. Each layout includes a full-beam master suite complemented by a forward VIP stateroom. The two-stateroom option also offers the versatility of a lower lounge, perfect for movie nights or additional sleeping arrangements.
Riviera has not only prioritized aesthetic appeal but also practicality. The aft deck features a hydraulic teak-laid swim platform, complete with cascading steps, allowing for effortless access to the water. Underneath, a tender garage is thoughtfully designed to accommodate a 9-foot tender alongside watersports equipment, ensuring that adventure is always within reach.
Performance That Inspires Confidence
Powering the 5000 Sport Yacht Platinum Edition are twin Volvo Penta D8 IPS 800 engines, each delivering an impressive 600 horsepower. This sophisticated propulsion system, supported by Volvo Penta Assisted Docking technology, invites an unparalleled ease of handling, especially in tight docking situations. Coupled with Seakeeper stabilization for a smooth ride, this yacht promises both exhilarating performance and comfort.
Further enhancing the onboard experience, the yacht is equipped with advanced features such as Sentinel remote monitoring, Starlink connectivity for seamless internet access, and solar charging capabilities. With a fuel capacity of 594 gallons and fresh water storage of 122 gallons, the 5000 Sport Yacht is designed for extended voyages without sacrificing luxury.

Handcrafted at Riviera’s esteemed facility on Australia’s Gold Coast, the 5000 Sport Yacht Platinum Edition reflects an unwavering commitment to quality and attention to detail. As this model prepares for its world premiere, it stands as a testament to Riviera’s dedication to innovation and excellence in yacht design.
