2015 Riviera 77 Enclosed Flybridge

The brief was simple: create the largest, most luxurious and technically advanced Riviera ever. For our international designers, engineers and craftspeople, it was an invitation to express their talent and creativity like never before - and they responded magnificently.

The creation of our new flagship was the opportunity to capitalise on decades of boat-building experience and the lessons learnt from having crafted over 5100 luxury vessels. The Riviera 77 Flybridge has also been developed at a facility that houses some of the worlds most sophisticated marine technology, including the latest Computer Assisted Design software.

Craft of this calibre are clearly destined for the fortunate few - and typically those with very discerning tastes and a wealth of boat-ownership experience.

The task of impressing those not easily impressed meant rigorously inspecting competing craft from all corners of the globe and simply, asking how could we do it better? With greater comfort, a better build, superior performance, more standard inclusions we believe we have excelled in every category.

We hope this introduction inspires you to step aboard and discover the Riviera 77 Enclosed Flybridge for yourself.

The safety, comfort and performance of any vessel is contingent on the design and manufacture of the hull, and this is particularly important with large, long-range vessels as they are more likely to encounter big seas and challenging conditions.

The Riviera 77 falls into the serious long-range category (the 9,450 litre/2,496 US gal fuel tank is a testament to this) and we have created a hull that is more than up to the task.

It is a hand-laid structure featuring solid fibreglass below the waterline and a watertight collision bulkhead forward; and the extensive use of lightweight, cored bulkheads and stringers and throughout the hull provide exceptional structural integrity with minimal weight. Issues of durability and access for maintenance have also been carefully considered in this models development.
