Approximately 3m longer than the recently announced Riviera 645 SUV Series II, the new Riviera 735 SUV offers greater fuel capacity and more powerful engines. It draws on the offshore cruising capabilities of Riviera's Sports Motor Yacht range while retaining the single-level main deck layout of its Sport Yachts.
Riviera 735 SUV Offers Expanded Cockpit and Single-Level Living
The 735 SUV retains the open cockpit arrangement that distinguishes Riviera's SUV collection, with 16.32 sq m (176 sq ft) of space dedicated to entertaining, fishing and watersports.
A barbecue, wet bar and refrigeration support outdoor dining, while buyers can specify additional fishing equipment, including a live bait tank, outriggers, rod holders, insulated fish bins and electrical outlets for fishing reels and downriggers. An optional boarding platform adds further flexibility at the waterline. The Riviera-designed system can be lowered to create submerged steps for swimming or raised to improve access when alongside a marina or quay.
Moving forward on the yacht, the covered alfresco deck provides a more sheltered setting for dining and relaxing. An opening saloon door and awning window connect this area directly with the interior, creating a continuous main deck living space. An electric sunroof brings additional natural light and ventilation.
A separate foredeck lounge accommodates eight or more guests around wraparound seating, offering a quieter alternative to the activity-focused cockpit.
Four Staterooms Include a Full-Beam Master Suite
Below deck, the 735 SUV accommodates eight to 11 people across four staterooms, with three ensuite bathrooms. The full-beam master suite on board the motor yacht features a king-size walkaround bed, large hull windows, extensive storage and a private refreshment station. A forward VIP stateroom has its own ensuite, while two additional guest cabins provide accommodation for family and friends.
Unlike the 645 SUV Series II, which offers a choice between three and four staterooms, the 735 SUV is presented with a four-stateroom arrangement. The smaller model allows buyers to replace its fourth cabin with a lower lounge, making it an alternative for owners who prioritize additional private living space over sleeping capacity.
On the main deck, the saloon features timber cabinetry, lounge seating and a galley equipped with premium appliances, substantial refrigeration and dedicated beverage storage.
Another useful feature is the separate aft access to the engine room, day head and optional crew cabin or utility room. Owners who prefer to operate without crew can use the space for diving equipment, fishing gear, watersports storage or workshop facilities. The choice should appeal to buyers who want the flexibility to cruise independently without sacrificing practical storage for longer trips.
Riviera 735 SUV Performance and Technology: What Buyers Need to Know
The 735 SUV is offered with two shaft-drive propulsion packages, both using twin MAN V12 diesel engines. The standard option comprises two MAN V12 2000 engines producing 2,000hp each, while the more powerful MAN V12X 2200 installation increases output to 2,200hp per engine, giving the flagship a maximum installed power of 4,400hp.
The preliminary specification confirms a 10,000-liter fuel capacity, considerably greater than the 6,500 liters carried by the 645 SUV Series II. The 735 SUV also has a 6m beam, 1.93m maximum draft and an approximate dry weight of 51,590kg.
Three Riviera Motor Yachts Set for FLIBS 2026 Debuts
The 735 SUV announcement follows a series of new model introductions from Riviera during 2026, including the updated Riviera 645 SUV Series II, which brought revised interior styling, flexible accommodation and upgraded technology to the builder's 21.23m SUV platform.
Riviera will also have a presence at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show 2026, running from October 28 to November 1, with three models scheduled for significant show appearances.
Making its FLIBS show debut, the 5600 is the smaller of the two Riviera Sport Yacht Platinum Edition models attending. Its lower-profile design and emphasis on social cruising offer a different proposition from the larger, more activity-focused SUV range.
Also making its FLIBS show debut, the Belize 55 Daybridge offers a more traditional Downeast-inspired design, with an elevated helm and additional outdoor seating. It provides an alternative for buyers seeking classic styling and a second helm position. Making its American debut, the 6200 is the largest of the three attending models. Positioned above the 5600, it offers buyers a larger Sport Yacht platform while retaining the enclosed, single-level main deck arrangement.
