About the 505 SUV
The Heart of the SUV Range 55 Feet of Versatility
The Riviera 505 SUV is the heart of the SUV collection — a 55-foot luxury motor yacht with an added dimension: the mezzanine deck. Where earlier Sport Yachts offered flat single-level living, the 505 introduces a beautiful wining, dining, and relaxing mezzanine space above the cockpit that offers privacy and protection from harsh sun and weather all year round. The combination makes the 505 simultaneously the best adventure yacht and the best entertainer in the SUV range.
Three staterooms including a full-beam master accommodate six guests. Twin Volvo D11 IPS950 at 725hp each deliver a spirited 29 knots top speed with class-leading fuel economy. The 505 shares the same proven hull as the 50 Sports Motor Yacht — a platform that has been thoroughly tested in demanding offshore conditions worldwide.
Key Features
🛊
Open Cockpit — Adventure Platform
The expansive open cockpit is the soul of every Riviera SUV — hose-out, action-ready, and generously sized for fishing, diving, paddleboarding, and entertaining. Twin transom flush-opening doors and a generous swim platform connect directly to the water.
📄
Single-Level Living — SUV Philosophy
The Riviera SUV concept unites the offshore performance and open cockpit of the Flybridge range with the single-level indoor-outdoor entertaining of the Sport Yacht range. The result: two spectacular motor yachts in one.
⚡
Volvo IPS — Economy + Performance
IPS pod drives deliver class-leading fuel economy, dramatically reduced noise and vibration, and effortless joystick manoeuvrability. The ideal combination for both performance passages and extended cruising.
🛏
Full-Beam Master Stateroom
The master stateroom runs the full beam of the hull for maximum space and natural light. Handcrafted cabinetry, queen or king bed, and dedicated en-suite to the same standard found on Riviera's larger yacht range.
🏔
Mezzanine Deck — The 505 Difference
The mezzanine deck adds a new dimension to SUV living — a beautiful elevated space above the cockpit with protection from sun and weather. Dining, relaxing, or simply watching the world go by from a privileged position above the waterline.
🚢
Shared Hull with 50 SMY — Blue-Water Proven
The 505 SUV shares the same proven hull as the Riviera 50 Sports Motor Yacht — one of the most thoroughly tested offshore platforms in the range. Blue-water capability in a single-level entertaining package.
