Designed from the keel up, using Riviera's Uni-Graphics NX three dimensional CAD software system, the new 53 has been developed in-house after nearly two years of detailed consultation with boat owners across the globe.
The result is a fresh approach, signalling a new generation of Riviera prowess and efficiency. The 53 is a vessel of considerable internal volume, allowing Riviera's designers to create unprecedented living spaces, elegant amenities and unrivalled performance.
The vessel's lines on the water are both powerful and noble, with a strong sheer forward and raised topsides create as much freeboard as a much larger vessel.
The new Riviera 53 features hull lines run straight aft from maximum beam, creating a powerful lift and planning surface along with great stability.
Moulded window casings create style and function, bringing 360 degrees of light into the interior and offering water views from every saloon seating position.
The 53's main deck design is the culmination of years of experience from the Riviera design team, bringing light and fresh air from the huge cockpit - which doubles as an entertainment venue complete with hidden barbecue - into the main saloon living space, through a sliding glass door and a hinged awning window.
The U-shaped galley design is positioned aft and therefore central to the massive saloon entertainment space and the cockpit. The galley is located to the port side and separated from fore and aft passing traffic.
The Riviera 53 offers the latest in European appliances showcased in high gloss timber and solid surface bench top. Central to the galley is a Miele combination oven, featuring an induction cooktop, with microwave oven and electric grill. Proven Vitrifrigo drawer fridge and freezer along with Fisher and Paykel drawer dishwasher are all standard.
Opposite the galley, to starboard, is a wet bar featuring options for ice maker, drawer fridge and freezer, and a floor to ceiling pull-out Hafele pantry. All galley drawers operate on soft close runners.
Also opposite the galley is a stylish internal staircase leading to the enclosed flybridge. Its floating teak treads mounted on solid stainless steel rails complements what will be a beautiful interior.
Forward of the galley is a C-shape dinette to port, that can convert into a double berth with a drop-down table. This arrangement faces a C-shape settee on the starboard side creating a spacious social setting for up to 10 in sheer cruising comfort. All of the lounges on the 53 are plush and luxurious, with a generous depth of padding.
An option for a massive wide screen 50" TV on electric lift rises from the dash forward on the port side bringing sport and entertainment to the entire living area.
