Riviera 4600 Sport Yacht Platinum Edition Review (2023 Edition) by Aquaholic

On Deck

The metallic paint finish on the top gives the yacht a very smart look. The yacht comes with a hi-lo platform at the back for a tender, and a spacious storage area for sea toys and folding bikes. Particularly liked is the transom gate, which can be closed for privacy.

The yacht's outdoor seating area is impressive because of the extendable sides that provide shade and the built-in Bimini. There's also a bar area with a barbecue, sink, ice maker, and fridge.

The metallic paint finish, satellite dishes, radar, antennas, and sunbathing area of the exterior are admired. Features include an anchor handling kit and substantial deck lockers.

The yacht has an aft galley layout, with the fridge and freezer on one side and the cooker, dishwasher, hob, and sink on the other. Nick appreciates the ample storage space throughout the yacht. The internal dining or lounge area has a TV that can be hidden from sight. This area features a sliding roof and windows, Recaro helm seats, and a low-glare finish on the helm. The multifunction displays, throttle controls, IPS joystick, and engine instrumentation displays are all well-placed.

The lower deck has a VIP guest cabin with ample storage and a double bed. There's also a day head, which is very convenient for guests. The owner's cabin boasts an abundance of storage and an ensuite. A particular highlight here is the high gloss woodwork and pale feature panels.

The spacious engine room houses a Seakeeper gyro stabilizer and two Volvo Penta IPS-800 engines with a speed of over 30 knots. At a cruising speed of 27 knots, the range is 220 nautical miles.

Throughout the tour, Nick praises the yacht's design, features, and functionality.
