Manufactory
Following more than 40 years of evolution and with over 5,700 yachts in multiple styles built and now being enjoyed in all corners of the world, the 78 MY design represents a distinguished new era for Riviera. The Riviera design group, in collaboration with award-winning superyacht designer Luca Vallebona, bring a combined passion for excellence to create a sophisticated yacht that delivers a perfect combination of family cruising, entertaining and blue-water passage-making capabilities.
The flexibility of the 78 Motor Yacht design will allow owners to personalise their yacht to reflect their individual tastes and further enhance their lifestyle. The 78 Motor Yacht be available with an enclosed or open bridge deck and includes accommodation for up to 7 adults in four luxurious staterooms and crew quarters.
The saloon and bridge decks both extend through to the stern of the yacht, offering multiple dining, entertaining and relaxing spaces for parties, family gatherings or quieter moments. Riviera Australia owner Rodney Longhurst describes the yacht as “timeless and contemporary”. A range of premium fabrics and leathers are utilised extensively throughout the interior, combining with a painted finish to walls and headliners while superbly varnished, finely matched timber can be selected in high gloss or satin finishes. Owners will be engaged with personalising their yacht from the very beginning of their build, deciding on furniture placement, colours and fabrics and how they wish to best utilise the many spaces on board. One of the key interior design features is flush surfaces throughout – including the use of integrated refrigeration and icemakers.
