About the 50 Sports Motor Yacht
Long-Range Luxury Cruising The 505 SUV with Flybridge
The Riviera 50 Sports Motor Yacht takes the beloved 505 SUV hull — the most proven 55-foot hull in the range — and adds a flying bridge, transforming it into a fully enclosed command centre for serious offshore passages. The result is a yacht with the best of both worlds: SUV-level single-level living below with a protected all-weather helm above.
At 33.8 knots top speed and 403 nautical miles of range at cruise, the 50 SMY delivers genuine bluewater capability. Three staterooms, two heads, and a full-beam master accommodate six guests. The cockpit can be enclosed with isinglass for three-season cruising — a feature unique to the SMY range.
Key Features
✈
Enclosed Flybridge — All-Weather Command
The fully enclosed, air-conditioned flybridge is the defining feature of every Riviera Sports Motor Yacht. A state-of-the-art helm station with Garmin Glass Cockpit, comfortable climate control, and commanding views in all conditions.
📄
Walk-Around Side Decks — Blue-Water DNA
Wide, safe walk-around side decks are a Sports Motor Yacht essential — enabling the crew to move safely around the yacht in all sea conditions. A detail that distinguishes the SMY range from enclosed sport yachts.
🚤
Wide Open Cockpit — All Water Sports
The cockpit is wide, uncluttered, and fully action-ready — with twin boarding gates, a live bait well, rod holders, and hydraulic swim platform for fishing, diving, and every water sport imaginable.
🏠
Full-Beam Master — Long-Range Comfort
A full-beam master stateroom ensures the longest passages are made in genuine luxury. All cabins are designed for extended use, with headroom, natural light, and storage that rivals much larger yachts.
🌊
505 SUV Hull — Blue-Water Proven
The 50 SMY is built on the same platform as the Riviera 505 SUV — one of the most thoroughly tested offshore hulls in the range. Proven in demanding conditions from the Pacific to the Caribbean.
🌡
Isinglass Enclosure — Three-Season Cruising
The cockpit can be enclosed with high-quality isinglass for three-season use — keeping wind and spray out while maintaining an open feel. A practical feature that significantly extends the yacht's usable calendar.
