Our 14-hectare, state-of-the-art manufacturing facility on the Gold

Coast of Queensland, Australia. This is the largest facility of its kind in the

Southern Hemisphere.

Each year, this world-class facility plays host to the educational and fun-

filled Riviera Festival of Boating.

What sets Riviera and Belize apart as one of the world’s great luxury motor yacht builders?

Is it the devotion to quality, standard of materials used, the ocean-tested structural strength, unsurpassed ease of operation, or the stylish, handcrafted luxury finish? Or perhaps it’s the famous culture of care that transforms owners into the ‘Riviera family’.

The answer is all of the above, and more. Much, much more. Over 37 years and the building of over 5200 luxury motor yachts, the 550-strong Riviera and Belize team have been on a continuous quest of evolution and refinement.

This remarkable heritage of knowledge matched by innovation allows us to marry the best of the time proven with the exciting and new. Witness our introduction of cutting edge

touch screen digital technology and joystick maneuverability, which make navigating and operating a Riviera and Belize luxury motor yacht a relaxed and enjoyable experience.

Located on the Gold Coast, Queensland we build on the notable Australian qualities of strength, practicality and love of water in the continent completely surrounded by three oceans and four seas. Then we test our designs in some of the toughest offshore conditions on earth. Hardly surprising that Riviera luxury motor yachts command impressive resale values worldwide.

Today, you can choose from five individual designs that make up our fabulous collection of luxury motor yachts, the Riviera Flybridge, SUV, Sport Yacht or Sports Motor Yacht

models, along with our more traditional Belize Collection. All will withstand virtually anything the elements and you can put them through, with poise and ease.

Naturally, we back this confidence with an industry-leading 5-year limited structural warranty. In addition, with all our Volvo Penta powered yachts, we offer a 5-year limited warranty covering helm station controls and multi-function displays, steering and propellers, plus pod drives and engines.

In our experience life is too short for needless compromise. So when it comes time to invest in your next yacht, why settle for a lesser option when you can enjoy all that makes up a Riviera or Belize.

It is one thing to combine two types of craft, quite another to create an inspired new whole: a fresh class of luxury motor yacht which will forever change the way you think about and pursue your blue water activities.

The renowned Riviera design team have set out to embrace ‘ultimate utility’. The result is the spectacular new Riviera 525 SUV, the entertaining meets exploration craft just made for escape - escape par excellence.

Look around the expansive cockpit, suitably outfitted for your favoured recreations. Picture yourself cruising the great waterways of the world, diving in the Bahamas, or fishing on the Reef. Anything and everything is possible on board your Riviera 525 SUV.

World famous, ocean tested, Riviera build quality and strength underpin spirited, enduring performance and guarantee retained resale value. And no motor yacht could be more luxurious or better appointed.

From bowsprit to boarding platform, you will relish the Riviera attention to detail, handcrafted luxury and astonishing operational technology. This is cruising on an unprecedented scale of comfort and ease.

Luxuriate in a standard of finish others call optional. Revel in the Riviera design with unrivalled design flow and sweeping glass and surround views from the saloon and helm. Marvel at how much easier and more enjoyable the Riviera embrace of modern technology makes every cruising experience.

There is a whole other world of refined living below decks with three staterooms and two bathrooms. And then, of course, there is the Volvo Penta Glass Cockpit navigation system and silky- smooth Volvo Inboard Performance System (IPS), to power your every cruising and escape dream.

Wherever in the world that may be.

And the brilliant 360 degree views courtesy of the forward windscreen, tinted and tempered glass sliding side windows and rear door, and opening awning window - encased in rugged, gleaming stainless steel.

Riviera designers have clearly thought of everything in what is, in effect, a full flybridge-scale cockpit space. Out here you can entertain, converse, unwind, sunbathe, swim, dive or fish, all in sublime style.

There is a superbly comfortable three-seater cockpit lounge forward to port. Upholstered in a contemporary, high quality, weather-resistant fabric, it can also be converted to a restful day bed. But in concert with the integrated, superbly crafted teak table, it makes an ideal conversation and entertaining area.

And just over to starboard, you’ll find a double gas barbecue with stainless steel splashback, LED lighting and ice-maker to help fuel the good times. Ah yes, this is the Riviera life.

Lovers of the great escape, recreational or angler, will appreciate the 525 SUV as much as the cruising family. You can, for instance, fit a cockpit table, game chair or custom rod holders with ease. And the transom lounge can be shortened to accommodate diving and swimming gear storage, or even a live bait tank.

It’s all here just waiting for you to press the escape button.

T H E S P E C TA C U L A R S A L O O N

The dictionary defines ‘spectacular’ like this:

spectacular

adjective: beautiful in a dramatic and eye-catching way,”spectacular ocean scenery”

- synonyms: striking, picturesque, breathtaking, arresting, amazing, glorious

The saloon of the Riviera 525 SUV is spectacular in every way: a spectacular space to enjoy, admire and absorb the surrounding views. From the panoramic 360 degree windows to the touch-of-a button star lover’s sunroof, to the standard of furnishings and finish, Riviera designers have truly excelled.

Whether you are enjoying the company of new found friends, entertaining or simply unwinding with your favourite people in the world, one thing is certain: you are in for a spectacularly fine time.

Settle into the large L-shaped lounge to port and contemplate the views and your next boating adventure. That fabulous hi/lo dining table can easily fold and lower to become a coffer table once the main courses have been served.

To starboard you will discover the beautifully crafted, double stitched three seater-settee, with slide-out ottoman and extra table for more entertaining or dining possibilities. And should you feel the need to reconnect with the world you’ve left behind, press a button and your 32-inch television with integrated sound system will emerge (then adjust for optimum viewing), from its discrete storage compartment.

Here in the saloon, as in all the 525‘s enclosed spaces, reverse cycle air conditioning complements your level of comfort. Should you so desire though, the large side sliding glass windows can easily be opened to invite fresh sea air…just spectacular!

W I N D O W TO T H E F U T U R E

To give you total command of the 525 SUV, Volvo Penta’s state-of-the-art Glass Cockpit navigation and monitoring system blends new technology with dependability and practical functionality.

The Glass Cockpit system provides a very clean, easy-to-use system with enhanced overview and control of both engines and navigation, including GPS, sounder and radar, even autopilot and optional charts ... and all in one place and in the one system.

Integrated with the IPS Electronic Vessel Control (EVC) system, the Glass Cockpit gathers all driver information and displays it in one location. The easy-to-handle, pinch-to-zoom displays give you instant data and control. The ergonomic design and interface for the dashboard offers push buttons on the controls and touch-buttons on the screens.

Just one clever feature of the Glass Cockpit is the unique auto guidance feature that — based on the yacht’s draft and your desired safety distance to obstacles — searches through all relevant charts to create a route you can follow, avoiding shallow water, buoys and other obstacles. Coupled with the auto pilot, it not only shows the way, it can take you there.

The Glass Cockpit also enables the option of full joystick steering whilst underway.

T H E P O W E R A N D T E C H N O L O G Y A R E YO U R S

Riviera is at the forefront of a marine propulsion revolution, having now launched hundreds of pod-driven luxury motor yachts.

Pods are used on such worldly form vessels as the Queen Mary II cruise ship as well as large scale commercial craft. This proven technology is now revolutionising pleasure yachts.

Pod drives offer an excellent power-to-weight ratio delivering improved performance, enhanced torque, improved fuel efficiency, simple maneuverability, reduced environmental impact and quiet operation thanks to under water exhausts.

In simplified terms, Volvo Penta’s innovative Inboard Propulsion System (IPS) features twin pod drive units, each of which is capable of turning independently to provide the correct thrust to move the yacht in the exact direction required by the skipper easily controlling the system with either a steering wheel and throttles or a joystick.

The 525 SUV has a joystick at the helm and an additional joystick as standard in her cockpit so a skipper, either solo or with a novice crew, is able to simply push and twist the joystick and the yacht will respond immediately, pivoting in place or tracking sideways into a berth that’s just long enough to fit the yacht. In the 525 SUV, owners have the option of having the cockpit joystick located on either the port or starboard sides.

IPS also offers a Dynamic Positioning System (DPS) for station-holding while preparing lines and fenders or while waiting off a fuel jetty, the convenience of Auto Pilot, manual trimming with optional auto-trim, as well as a highly-efficient Anti-Corrosion Protection (ACP) unit mounted to the transom to reduce the maintenance of sacrificial anodes.

The three-blade nibral, forward facing, counter-rotating propellers are protected by the premium antifoul coating propspeed to achieve a long service life, as well as 316 marine grade stainless

steel line cutters from Volvo Penta, located between the propellers for protection from ropes, fishing lines, plastic bags or nets. These precision made line cutters create a very efficient rotating cutting action to protect the propellers and shaft sealing without increasing drag or fuel burn.

The 525 SUV employs the revolutionary Volvo Penta D11-IPS800 propulsion system with twin D11 engines and IPS20 pod-drives (2x 460kW/626hp) as the standard package. This is a perfectly matched drive package for the 525 and the system’s Class 4 commercial rating assures reliability and durability.

Additionally, the IPS2 package is fully certified under the Det Norske Veritas and Germanischer Lloyd (DNV GL) classification system.

Owners are also able to select the optional D11-IPS950 system with twin D11 engines and IPS20 pod-drive units (2 x 533kW/725hp).

C Z O N E S I M P L I C I T Y

The fully integrated CZone digital switching system enhances the ease of monitoring and operation of the Riviera 525’s onboard systems, including tanks, and extends centralised, touch-screen control to lighting, pumps, batteries, entertainment systems and appliances.

CZone allows owners to operate multiple circuits at a single touch, energising all lighting and electrics depending on your requirements. It comes pre-programmed with three modes — entertaining, cruising and dock unattended — and these modes can be customised by the owner so the system works exactly how you want.

Other user-friendly features include interior light-dimming, timer controls, automated circuit control, wiper speed and wash functions. There’s also a service mode that shuts down all power and systems.

Based on industry-proven Controller Area Network (CAN) technology, the CZone system offers DC and AC switching and over-current protection. Full systems monitoring (with alarms) including AC voltage, current frequency and kilowatts, DC voltage, current and remaining battery capacity, along with fluid tank levels and indication for systems in operation, is clearly displayed on the 5-inch touch-screen at the helm and 8.4-inch screen at the saloon entrance.

There is also the option of additional iPod connectivity so you can control CZone from anywhere onboard your yacht.

I M P E C C A B L E P E D I G R E E

The confident poise of the 525 SUV is just as evident offshore as it is at anchor — her solid and robust hull with keel is the evolution of our rich 36-year history of building almost 5200 world-class luxury motor yachts that are proven in the often challenging Australian offshore conditions.

Every Riviera built at our world-class facility on Australia’s Gold Coast combines superior-strength hand lay-ups with a water-tight collision bulkhead forward, and independent compartments throughout the hull.

Our legendary build quality also features vinylster resin in the outer layer of lamination to increase the ability to withstand water absorption. An isophthalic gelcoat exterior provides an impeccable and hard-wearing surface finish.

From the waterline down, the hull is solid GRP with reinforced bottom, keel and chines. Structural core material is used in the hull flanks, main deck and hardtop, while precisely fitted, lightweight resin transfer-moulded small parts have a double-sided gelcoat finish and are pre-fitted for a perfect seal when all the major components are bonded together.

Riviera uses only 316 marine-grade stainless steel in all our exterior fastenings. All stainless steel rails feature ground and polished welds to ensure a consistently smooth and mirror finish.

Our designers have placed a firm focus on convenient access to every key maintenance point throughout the yacht so any issues can be quickly identified and addressed, and service costs are kept to a minimum.

Of course, this thoughtful consideration for our Riviera family of owners is a key part of our ethos of doing all we can to help our valued owners achieve … ‘the ultimate boating experience’.

Riviera is continuing to lead the luxury motor yacht market and proudly stands behind the easy-to-use systems onboard its world-class designs.

A 5-year limited warranty on all Volvo Penta systems is now standard with every new Riviera and covers Volvo Penta helm stations, steering and propellers as well as major componentry of their high performance drivelines and fuel-efficient engines.

Available worldwide, this extended warranty complements the Riviera 5-year limited structural warranty and will provide even greater peace of mind for our valued Riviera boating family members.

Riviera Family members enjoy exclusive invitations to fun-filled social and boating education events, inspiring cruising experiences as well as special offers on genuine parts, electronics and our premium Riviera lifestyle collection.

The clean and uncluttered engine room — with acoustic and thermal insulation and LED lighting — highlights the skilled consideration for which Riviera is renowned globally in terms of engineering.

The impressive commercial air intake system helps keep the engine room temperature well below the manufacturer’s formal recommendation, reducing fuel consumption even further, while the air-conditioning units are mounted high so gravity feeds condensation water into the common drain lines located on either side of the yacht, and which drain aft and overboard.

All onboard drains also feed into these common drain lines, while an advanced mist elimination system with veins draws moisture from the air and feeds directly overboard.

Four automatic bilge pumps with manual override are located at various points throughout the hull and also pump directly overboard.

There’s even a dedicated space for a gyroscopic stabiliser — yet another example of how Riviera is ready to embrace all innovations that make boating more enjoyable.

All batteries onboard the 525 SUV are maintenance free to ensure carefree boating and are housed in special battery boxes in accordance with the American Boating & Yacht Council (ABYC) and European Union’s CE industry standards.

The house power is 24 volt, which allows for simpler charging, lower current draw and smaller cables (further reduced weight) than equivalent 12 volt systems. The Mastervolt 2.5kW AC/DC inverter provides power to the icemaker, galley outlet and onboard entertainment systems, ensuring watching television while relaxing quietly at anchor is whisper quiet.

LED lighting is utilised throughout the yacht and provides trouble free boating while reducing electrical current draw. The lamps use less than 10 per cent of the power required to run a bulb lamp — no bulbs means no maintenance and long service life. Additionally, Residual Circuit Interrupter (RCD/GFCI) provides protection over the entire yacht and also complies with ABYC and CE standards for safer boating.

Limited Express Warranty

Riviera Australia Pty Ltd. A.C.N. 139 663 906 (Riviera) makes this Limited Express Warranty (Warranty) to the original retail purchaser of a vessel manufactured by Riviera, provided the vessel is purchased from an authorised Riviera dealer and said first retail purchaser registers this Warranty with Riviera within 30 days of the purchase. This Warranty is the only warranty provided by Riviera, express or implied, with respect to any vessel manufactured by Riviera.

Five Year Limited Structural Warranty:

Riviera warrants to the first retail purchaser that for five (5) years after the date of delivery to the first retail purchaser, and for the period before it is delivered to the first retail purchaser, that the hull, deck, flybridge and hardtop shall be free from structural defects due to material or workmanship, under normal non-commercial use, that result in any delamination or separation of the stringers or composite structure.

A structural defect includes the following:

· structural failure of the fibreglass hull, deck, flybridge and hardtop

· structural failure of any parts glassed onto the above components, or

· structural failure of the joints between any of the above components.

The structural warranty does not apply to the following:

· A water leak through the joints between the hull, deck, flybridge and hardtop

· Fibreglass small parts failures

· Parts that are not manufactured by Riviera;

· Interior failures, window or hatch failures

· Damage resulting from misuse, abuse, negligence, improper docking, alteration, vandalism, accident or lack of performance of normal maintenance

· Any charges incurred by any vessel returned to the factory, dealer or authorised agent for inspection prior to authorisation of warranty repairs

· The cost of removal or reinstatement of a part, or disassembly or reassembly of the unit of which it is a component

· Heat and/or sun damage to the hull and/or gelcoat on hulls that are painted a dark colour

· Owners other than the first retail purchaser, or in relation to the hull only, subsequent owners to whom the structural warranty of the Hull has been validly transferred in accordance with this Warranty

· Any vessels sold to the first retail purchaser by anyone other than a Riviera dealer listed on www.riviera.com.au on the date of the purchase (Authorised Riviera Dealer), or

· Any item which Riviera has not been notified of within thirty (30) days of the issue becoming apparent.

The above list is not intended to be exhaustive and Riviera may, at its absolute discretion, elect to refuse any warranty claim whatsoever.

Vessels that go into a syndication or shared ownership program are entitled to the standard five-year structural warranty, subject to fair wear and tear on the vessel.

Transfer of Structural Warranty

In reference to the structural warranty of the hull ONLY, Riviera may agree in its sole and absolute discretion, to transfer the hull warranty to a subsequent owner of a vessel, who purchases the vessel from an Authorised Riviera Dealer, upon application and payment of a $1000 Australian dollar transfer fee. Such transfer will only be effective upon confirmation in writing from Riviera. Where Riviera does approve the transfer of the remaining term of the hull warranty to a subsequent owner in writing, then such hull warranty will be transferred for a period of not more than a total period of five (5) years from the date an Authorised Riviera Dealer first delivered the vessel to the first retail purchaser.

Please refer to your Riviera and Belize dealer for specific warranty cover.
