From the enclosed flybridge to the wide, open cockpit, every space serves a purpose, whether you’re cruising long distances or spending slow days at anchor. Built on Riviera’s proven hull platform and powered by Volvo Penta IPS, it delivers a ride that feels controlled and efficient. Manoeuvrability is straightforward, docking is manageable, and the overall experience leans toward ease rather than effort. What defines this boat is its versatility. It adapts to how you want to use it, owner-operated, family cruising, or light entertaining, without feeling like you’re compromising in any one area. The layout is logical, the finishes are refined without being excessive, and everything onboard feels intentional. The Riviera 50 SMY isn’t about chasing attention, it’s about delivering a boating experience that’s consistent, capable, and genuinely enjoyable over time. 00:00 Start 01:44 Bow area anchoring setup with windlass and chain washing system 03:50 Foredeck sun lounge with storage compartments and safety features 07:19 Cockpit entertainment area with BBQ, sink, and live bait tank 12:08 Flybridge helm station with triple screens and joystick controls 17:12 Flybridge lounge seating and convertible daybed area 19:37 Main galley with extensive refrigeration and storage options 23:32 Main saloon dining area with convertible table and seating 25:30 VIP cabin accommodation with ensuite and storage walkthrough 31:47 Engine room tour showing IPS drives and generator setup
