On Deck

The Riviera 645 SUV represents a peak in the SUV range, blending its outdoor and indoor spaces. The yacht features a hi-lo platform at the stern for easy tender storage, with options for a bait well or storage compartments. Amenities for outdoor activities are installed in this area, including storage boxes and a built-in fish box under the floor.

The 645 SUV features a barbecue, sink, and docking controls in the cockpit area - ideal for owner-operated use. Covers for the outdoor upholstery are included for protection against the elements. The cockpit area is flexible, with clear, roll-down material that can be removed for an open-air experience. High-traffic areas have non-slip, high-wear flooring, while other sections are carpeted for comfort.

Deep side decks with guard rails lead to a foredeck seating area with a small table. There are windows installed in the floor for the forward VIP cabin, anchor chain lockers and a very smart ULTRA Anchor.

Interior

Upon entering the main cabin, there is a spacious glossy-wood galley with white countertop, which features double fridges, freezers, and a dishwasher. The central island and customisable seating arrangements make the area a social hub. The interior is marked by high-quality materials and thoughtful design, including foldable tables and a TV that can be hidden away to maximize space.

The helm is equipped with advanced Garmin multifunction displays, a Fusion Hi-Fi system, and a joystick for easy maneuvering despite the yacht’s shaft drive system. The helm area also features triple seats with Alcantara material and a large sliding roof overhead. Additional controls include engine monitoring systems and a joystick that integrates with the bow and stern thrusters for precise handling.

Accommodation

Owner's Cabin

The owner's cabin is a full-beam suite featuring a chaise lounge and lots of storage. It includes an en-suite bathroom with a utility room that can double as a crew cabin if needed. The cabin is designed for comfort and practicality, with AV equipment, a sound system, and multiple access hatches for maintenance. The en-suite bathroom is spacious, featuring a separate shower area and additional storage.

Guest Accommodation

One cabin features twin beds that can convert into a double, while another is a cleverly designed bunk room with a full-length bed. The day head is accessible from both the hallway and one of the guest cabins, providing enhanced privacy and convenience. Each guest cabin includes practical storage solutions, including wardrobe space and pigeon lockers.

Crew Accommodation

The utility room in the owner's cabin can double as a crew cabin, accessed through the engine room hatch. This area includes a washer-dryer, additional storage, and a wet room with a shower. While primarily owner-operated, the yacht provides flexibility for occasional crew use without compromising the owner's privacy.

Performance

The engine room houses twin MAN V12 diesel engines, providing a top speed of over 30 knots and a cruising range of approximately 350 nautical miles at planing speeds. Dropping down to 9 knots, a range of 1,200 nautical miles can be achived.

A SeaKeeper gyro stabilizer and a Blue Water watermaker are also installed, ensuring a smooth and self-sufficient cruising experience. The engines are configured for shaft drive with a V-box, optimizing space and performance.

In Summary

Nick is thoroughly impressed by the Riviera 645 SUV and appreciates the practical touches throughout the yacht, such as the numerous access hatches for maintenance and the fuel gauges next to the fuel fillers. He appreciates the spacious and well-designed living areas, advanced navigation and control systems, and powerful engines. The attention to detail and thoughtful design make it an excellent choice for owner-operators seeking a reliable and comfortable vessel for various maritime activities.
