Overview
The Riviera 585 SUV is in a class of her own making. This NEW model for Riviera on the Gold Coast, Australia is so full of intelligent ideas it took me an hour to explain them all to you! This is a boat that inspires confidence in any Captain. From the hull design to the functionality of the deck and interior you can see that this is a vessel that has been designed by boaters - for boaters. The new Dock Assist technology is one of the multiple stand out features that genuinely allow a solo skipper to manage this boat around a marina - BY YOURSELF! The advances in this technology are actually incredible. If you desire a tough, practical, ultra luxurious and seriously reliable boat for anything from day trips to month long adventures to tropical or even colder climates this boat will do it for you. Confidence - this is the word that kept coming back to me after a day aboard the 585 SUV.
