New Zealand boating enthusiasts heading to this year's Auckland Boat Show are in for a treat, with R Marine Flagship, the country's exclusive home of Riviera luxury motor yachts, presenting one of the most extensive Riviera displays ever staged in New Zealand. Spread across two premium waterfront locations, the showcase will give visitors the chance to step aboard eighteen Riviera motor yachts.
The display runs simultaneously at Westhaven Marina, Marina Connection, and at the Auckland Viaduct within the official Auckland Boat Show precinct at M15. To make it easy for clients to move between both venues, R Marine will operate a free concierge service shuttling guests to and from the Auckland Boat Show precinct from Westhaven Marina.
Two vessels will take pride of place within the Auckland Boat Show precinct itself, both making debut appearances. The Riviera 4300 Sports Express arrives as an international debut, while the Riviera 58 Sports Motor Yacht makes its New Zealand debut after launching in 2025 and featuring in the January issue of Boating New Zealand.
The Riviera 4300 Sports Express has been designed to set a new benchmark in versatile luxury, making the most of a practical footprint without compromising on space or amenity. Three distinct entertaining zones, seamless indoor-outdoor flow, and beautifully appointed accommodation combine to make her well suited to extended weekends on the water. A spacious sports deck, forward sun deck, and innovative sea deck all contribute to effortless water access, while accommodation for five includes a private master cabin, aft cabin, a well-appointed galley, and a comfortable lounge. Propulsion comes from Volvo Penta IPS with joystick control, delivering smooth acceleration, confident cruising, and precise handling when manoeuvring in close quarters.
The Riviera 58 Sports Motor Yacht represents the pinnacle of Riviera's design and engineering evolution. Built with extended cruising firmly in mind, she carries increased fuel capacity and integrates solar capability backed by advanced lithium battery technology, alongside a high-output watermaker, giving her genuine offshore independence. Premium finishes, advanced navigation systems, and intelligent onboard technology round out a package that balances refined comfort with serious blue-water capability.
These two models form the centrepiece of an exceptional Riviera display, reinforcing Riviera's position as a leader in luxury motor yachts built for Australian and New Zealand conditions.
Beyond the show itself, R Marine Flagship operates as a full-service marine business from Westhaven Marina in Auckland, supporting Riviera owners right across New Zealand. The team covers every stage of the ownership journey under one roof, from initial sales and handover through to servicing, upgrades, owner care, education, events, and premium pre-owned support. Becoming a Riviera owner means becoming part of the Riviera Family.
The full Riviera Showcase can be experienced at both Westhaven Marina and the Auckland Viaduct throughout the Auckland Boat Show.
