Two new Platinum Edition Sport Yachts will make their debut at the 2026 Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show, with Riviera confirming the event as its only Australian boat show appearance for the year. The show opens on Thursday, 21 May.
The centrepiece is the world premiere of the 6200 Sport Yacht Platinum Edition, joined by the Australian boat show premiere of the 5600 Sport Yacht Platinum Edition. Twelve models spanning 39 to 78 feet will make up the full display on H Arm.
Riviera Australia owner Rodney Longhurst said the occasion would carry real significance for the brand's community. "This will be a grand display for Riviera and our only boat show showcase in Australia in 2026," he said. "Sanctuary Cove provides the perfect stage for our team to present the magnificent Riviera fleet of today and to demonstrate the exceptional ease of boating now enjoyed by more than 6,300 Riviera owners globally."
The 6200 Sport Yacht Platinum Edition is built around a new-generation hull design that Riviera says delivers volume, comfort and performance beyond comparable yachts of similar length. The aft deck includes a dedicated alfresco galley and dining area, while the forward deck offers lounges and sunbeds. Inside, the saloon features a main galley with premium appliances and three lounges, including a forward dining setting with a fold-away table.
Accommodation runs to a choice of three or four staterooms, three ensuite bathrooms, and a full-beam master suite. A utility room or crew cabin with dedicated laundry, a tender garage, and a full-height engine room complete the layout. Power comes from twin Volvo Penta IPS D13 1200s, each producing 900 hp (662 kW).
The 5600 Platinum Edition, making its Australian boat show debut, is positioned as a new benchmark for luxury motor yachts under 60 feet. Its aft deck is designed for year-round entertaining, and a hydraulic swim platform lowers to launch the tender or create a private beach experience.
The saloon features an aft U-shaped galley with premium appliances integrated into handcrafted timber joinery, an L-shaped dining lounge with a fold-away solid timber table to port, and a second L-shaped lounge forward, opposite the helm. Below deck there are three staterooms, two bathrooms, a full-beam master suite with his-and-her cedar-lined lockers, and a dedicated laundry. Twin Volvo Penta IPS D11 950s produce 725 hp (533 kW) each.
Beyond the two premieres, the display includes the 4300 Sports Express, the 6800 Sport Yacht Platinum Edition, the SUV Collection in 465, 505 and 585 configurations, and Sports Motor Yachts in 50, 58, 64 Series II and 72 Series II models.
Running across three days alongside the show, the Riviera Owners' Festival of Boating combines hands-on training through the Academy of Boating with social events including the Riviera Owners' Ladies' Day and a series of gala evenings. Owners are encouraged to contact their local Riviera dealership for programme details.
