About the 72 Sports Motor Yacht Series II
Long-Range and Legendary FLIBS 2025 Americas Premiere
The Riviera 72 Sports Motor Yacht Series II made its Americas premiere at FLIBS 2025 — the second of two simultaneous Series II premieres alongside the 64 SMY Series II, marking Riviera's most ambitious product update in the brand's history. The 72 is the flagship of the Sports Motor Yacht collection — three feet longer than the 68, with the same beam but additional fuel capacity for extended range, and an optional upgrade to twin MAN V12-2000hp for the highest power output in the SMY range.
Four staterooms accommodate up to ten guests. At 35 knots top speed, the 72 Series II is one of the fastest production yachts at 78 feet. At cruise, it delivers approximately 700 nautical miles of range. The 72 represents the pinnacle of what Riviera builds — a genuine flagship that combines the spirit of adventure with the comforts of a superyacht.
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.
★
Flagship SMY — Series II Refinement
The 72 Series II is the most refined, most powerful, most capable Sports Motor Yacht Riviera has ever built. The holistic Series II approach — every detail improved, nothing left unchanged — results in a yacht that stands alone at this size.
⚡
Optional MAN V12-2000hp — 35 Knots
The highest power output in the SMY range: optional twin MAN V12-2000hp deliver 35 knots top speed and exceptional performance authority. The extra 3 feet of length vs the 68 adds fuel capacity and interior volume.
📅
FLIBS 2025 Americas Premiere
The 72 Series II made its Americas premiere at FLIBS 2025 alongside the 64 Series II — Riviera's most significant boat show presentation in years, demonstrating the brand's commitment to continuous improvement across the SMY range.
