2005 - RIVIERA 3600 SPORT YACHT

When she was launched at the Sydney International Boat Show in 2005 and the 3600 Sport Yacht unveiled an exciting new era for Riviera.

This was the beginning of a new concept for Riviera. Single-level living with an awning window and pillarless saloon door that brought the indoors, outdoors.

The sport yacht design has evolved and continues as one of Riviera’s most popular to this day.

The international boating community immediately took a close look.

In Australia she won Modern Boating magazine’s overall Cruiser of the Year award in 2006 and went on to win Asia Boating magazine’s Best Motoryacht under 40 feet the following year.

She featured on magazine front covers across the globe, from Wassersport in Germany to Boating World and Trade-a-Boat in Australia.

She was reviewed by boating journalists in Russia, Germany, the US, Portugal, Spain, Italy, the Middle East and Australia.

Trade-A-Boat magazine stated: “The 3600 Sport Yacht has universally appealing design traits that centre on human factors, ergonomics and amenities.”

Lakeland Boating in the US said: “A generous list of standard features makes being aboard just like home.”

Power and Motoryacht’s reviewer described her as a “handsome package” going on to state that “it’s the single-level living space that sets her apart”.

She was powered by optional twin Volvo Penta D6 turbo diesel engines rated to 310 hp or twin Cummins diesels rated to 333 hp.

Riviera built 109 of the 3600 Sport Yachts in just four years of production.

Riviera 3600 Sport Yacht

3600 Sport Yacht Series II with IPS | Model Profile

The 3600 sport yacht, open for your enjoyment.

One of the most striking features of the 3600 Sport Yacht is the large rear awning window and door between the cockpit and saloon. Not only is it extremely stylish with tinted glass set in a bold, highly polished stainless steel frame, it opens up to create the ultimate indoor-outdoor feeling. The two areas seamlessly flow into one to produce a unique alfresco experience.

The fact that the gourmet galley is on the same level as the cockpit and salon also means that the chef remains in the middle of the party. The galley is just a step away from the cockpit and for entertaining there is a second refrigerator here.

At every turn you will find Riviera ingenuity – such as the flat screen television in the saloon that raises and lowers out of sight at the touch of a button, the way the stainless steel swim ladder folds away, and the discreetly placed drink holders on the foredeck sunpad. As for comfort, the large L-shaped lounge with its soft leather and deep cushions is probably more inviting than the lounge in your living room.

The 3600 Sport Yacht epitomises, easy living and an idyllic environment to share leisure time with your family and friends. But this is a yacht of real substance too, one that boasts the most sophisticated design and construction methods including a hand-laid solid fibreglass hull with separate compartments throughout the hull and a watertight collision bulkhead forward.

The 3600 Sport Yacht is powered by the inspired Volvo Penta IPS pod drive system that is exceptionally smooth and quiet whilst unbelievably responsive and fuel-efficient. This may be a new style of motor yacht but the quality and superior technology tells you that it is every inch a Riviera.

Style or good taste may be hard to define but you instantly recognise it when you see it… and you will see it here in abundance. It’s in everything from the subtle colour contrasts of the plush headliner material to the use of a light cherry timber with a satin finish. Even details such as the fabric concealing the saloon speakers and the stylish air conditioning vents have been carefully considered and beautifully executed.

SYS Yacht Sales offers new Riviera Yachts for sale on the U.S. Gulf Coast and West Coast of FL. Contact our factory-trained Riviera specialists for more information on the new 3600 Sport Yacht and other models available.

Boat Review: Riviera 3600 Sport Yacht

4 comments:

This yacht was a big shot when it first apeared. For the curious minds, the price is somewhere betwen $170,000 and $260,000. You can't find a new one because because it isn't manufactured anymore but still, most of them are in good shape.

According to Riviera website the 3600 in its 2009 introduced Series II variant is still available. http://www.riviera.com.au/3600-sport-yacht-home.html

Indeed, you're right! Sorry for the misinformation. I checked some yacht directories, they gave me 0 results for new ones so I assumed that it isn't available anymore. Next time I'll make sure to check on the official page also ;)

It is possible you are half right, or they are building it to order. To know this you need to send an e-mail to Riviera. I would not be surprised if a change is in order, as recent Riviera models last about three to four years, and the new Sport Yachts have taken a more European flavour unlike the more American of the 3600. The 3600 Series II has been going on for seven years now. But may it still selling how it is, so if it did not break why fix it!
