Riviera 505 SUV – – Luxury Design in a Class of its Own
Step aboard the SUV 505 at the MIAMI YACHT SHOW FEBRUARY 13 – 17, 2020
The new Riviera 505 SUV, premiering at the Miami Yacht Show February 2020, is the latest addition to the Riviera SUV Collection. With a hull length of 50 feet, the 505 SUV is the perfect mid-sized luxury sport yacht for enjoying all aspects of life on a boat, including a world of watersports, long-range cruising, fishing, relaxing, and entertaining plenty of guests for days and nights at a time.
The 505 gives owners the ease of a smartly laid-out single-level living area, but with the addition of a massive mezzanine area. Also onboard are three staterooms, two bathrooms, a generously sized cockpit, a spacious saloon, a fully-equipped designer galley, walkaround side decks, two outward opening transom doors, and an easily accessible foredeck with a double sunbed.
All of these entertainment zones are combined perfectly with the 505’s completely redesigned hull, and all the high-end finishes and technological advancements you can expect from Riviera.
When you step aboard the 505, the first thing you’ll notice is the massive mezzanine area that comes with teak decking, two fixed lounges, a BBQ and wet bar centre, and a hardtop to provide protection from the elements year-round. Then, as you step through the mezzanine’s tinted, tempered glass door, you will find the saloon and the U-shaped galley with stainless steel appliances and plenty of prep space and storage. Starboard from the galley is an L-shaped seating area and timber table, and just ahead of the galley is a second lounge area and a helm station that comes with two pedestal seats all covered by a sliding sunroof.
Down below on the accommodation level, the 505 continues to impress with its elegant lighting and timber finishes throughout. A full-beam master suite comes with a queen-sized island berth, plush carpeting, a walk-in robe, 42-inch LED TV, lounger, and en-suite access. For your guests, there are twin bunk beds in a private cabin to starboard and a forward guest stateroom with another queen-sized berth. Additional features onboard the Riviera 505 include an extra-large hydraulic swim platform, optional laundry closet, numerous LED TVs, and smart storage solutions throughout.
Stepping away from the model and admiring it from afar, you’ll notice right away the gently sweeping sheer line of the 505 SUV, paired with its prominent topside windows, and generous flare forward and glass surrounds. Finally, having the bowsprit incorporated into the hull using a through-the-bow design is done so thoughtfully as well, making for a cleaner, more contemporary look. More specifically, the bowsprit has been replaced by a modern through-the-bow design, putting more emphasis on the anchoring station. This allows your stainless steel Ultra Anchor to become a shining jewel adorning your yacht.
Like all Riviera SUV models, the 505 delivers remarkable power-to-weight ratios, excellent fuel efficiency, and thrilling bluewater performance and handling capabilities. The Riviera 505 SUV comes standard with twin 6-cylinder diesel engines, with each Volvo Penta D8-IPS 800 turbo engine delivering 600hp/441kw. You also get joystick control steering, two 16-inch Volvo Penta Glass Bridge screens, and a touchscreen navigation system, making the 505 as easy to operate as it is comfortable to sit back and relax on.
The Riviera 505 SUV marks the fifth SUV model of Riviera’s SUV Collection, joining the SUV 575, SUV 525, SUV 445, and SUV 395 models, but with a few key differences – the 505’s new hull and bowsprit design make it a distinctive model in the Collection.

Safety for all on board
Riviera 505 SUV owners are invariably popular people, so we’ve gone out of our way to ensure everyone on board is safe and sure-footed at all times. That includes your children, grandchildren, friends of all ages, even your beloved pets …and it applies to all parts of this amazing vessel, in particular the forward deck.
Life up here holds tremendous appeal. At anchor, you are above it all. Literally. And with typical Riviera attention to detail, everyone can be confident and comfortable making their way forward.
First we designed wide side decks with raised, toe kick bulwarks and the sure-footed grip of non-slip surfaces. Then, to ensure complete safe passage, we’ve incorporated high stainless steel side rails working in harmony with conveniently placed hand rails. The end result? Safety, above all, for all on board.
On the 505 SUV, the bowsprit has been replaced by a modern through-the-bow design giving the Ultra anchor more prominence – a highly polished stainless steel jewel adorning the bow. With deep anchor lockers cleverly concealed from view storing a range of equipment, there’s nothing to obscure your outlook. Relaxing on the raised, deeply cushioned double sun bed, you can be at one with nature and sunsets often seem close enough to touch. There are handy storage lockers either side and a thoughtful non-slip walkway between the sun bed and the windscreen taking the hard work out of removing or attaching the windscreen sun cover.
Once again, thoughtful Riviera design makes boating easy.
The sheer magic of the mezzanine
A beautiful space, offering protection from harsh sun and weather, the mezzanine is the entertaining centre of your luxury motor yacht. Two teak inlaid steps lead up from the centre of the cockpit and now you’re in the lap of luxury. To appreciate the full glory of this clever design, open the tinted glass door, then open out the large tinted glass awning window, both framed in highly polished stainless steel. Now the mezzanine connects and flows through to the saloon and galley, one big beautiful alfresco living plan.
Two tinted sunroofs above provide soft atrium light and slide open to invite a refreshing sea breeze. There are two supremely comfortable lounges located either side of the mezzanine. The port side lounge features a folding table and a large insulated ice-box under the seat. And you’ll love the occasional day bed, folding out from the starboard lounge, perfect for reading and relaxing. The easy proximity to the galley means snacks and meals are never far away.
In concert with the golden coloured teak decking at your feet and soft concealed lighting above you’ll savour the central mezzanine ambiance day and night. Completing the picture of this relaxed luxury lifestyle is a portside, four speaker LED TV that folds down from above for those important sporting moments that must be seen live. And the fixed lounges mean there is no need to dig out occasional furniture for the mezzanine – it’s all weather and always ready for company. Relaxing and entertaining on the mezzanine has never been easier – one of the many outstanding design features that have added a new dimension to the 505 SUV.
Far more than a galley
The layout, standard of cabinetry, décor and appointments of your Riviera 505 SUV galley put it firmly in the class of a fine designer kitchen. This ultra modern galley is flooded with natural light and in exactly the right place, midway between the saloon, mezzanine and cockpit. So here in this social and yes, well appointed hub, expect lots of company from your guests and the best kind of kitchen ergonomics from our highly-skilled Riviera design team.
Contemporary stainless steel appliances are all within easy reach, integrated into handcrafted, stone finish benchtops and superbly hand varnished Riviera joinery. Additional storage lockers with positive locking hardware are built in overhead, along with large pull-out drawers below, all on commercial grade runners. You’ll find everything you need to create gourmet meals in no time including a Miele combination oven and microwave, 2-element electric cooktop with pot keepers, rangehood, sink and two refrigeration drawers.
The option of a drawer style dishwasher completes the wishlist.
And take a look at those views, forward, port, starboard and astern….you’ll be surrounded by inspiration. Central to the saloon, with the large glass awning window connecting you to the mezzanine, you are in the true heart of the moment… entertaining, conversing, laughing and sharing life, forward and aft… doing it all with grace, style and ultimate ease.
Settle into the luxury
The further afield your travels take you the more you will luxuriate in all the refinements and comfort of your saloon. The large forward windscreen and sliding saloon windows reveal a constantly moving panorama of sky and sea, natural and exotic. Here our talented designers have captured a wonderful ambiance, always peaceful and quiet through the skilful integration of sound dampening fabric and leatherette panelling plus the comfort of reverse cycle air conditioning. You’ll notice a stainless handrail above, following the centreline of the saloon and recessed into the headliner. That’s to keep guests sure-footed when your 505 SUV is showing all its glorious blue-water ability.
Opposite the galley to starboard is the L-shaped lounge dining area with a polished timber table mounted on striking stainless steel posts.
This lounge transforms into a cosy media room at the press of a button with a 43-inch LED TV rising into view aft of the helm. There’s a Blu-ray player and home theatre sound system hidden in the cabinetry powering concealed surround sound speakers. Forward of the galley and port side of the helm is another sumptuous L-shaped lounge for guests to enjoy the scenic cruising and keep the skipper company or simply stretch out and relax whilst at anchor.
The saloon is a space you’ll be drawn to time and again: A space to dine, unwind, converse, plan itineraries, marvel at nature, share precious moments and, above all, enjoy.
Take Command
If you’re comfortable behind the wheel of a contemporary luxury car, then you can confidently take command of a beautiful Riveria 505 SUV. Cast off and explore a world full of new ports, secluded bays, friends, entertaining and recreational possibilities – a world that runs at a different pace, your pace.
The helm is located starboard, with premium captain and companion chairs and a console brimming with amazing technology. It truly is a state-of-the-art command capsule with outstanding visibility through the curved, toughened glass windscreen. Sitting behind the sports-inspired steering wheel everything feels just right, as it should, because the functionality of all the operating systems, helm controls and touchscreens have been ergonomically designed and engineered for total ease and efficiency.
Even if you’re a seasoned skipper, you are about to experience next level operational ease. Total performance control, total navigational control, and fingertip-easy joystick maneuverability.
Feel the surge of power from the state-of-the-art, silkysmooth and economical twin Volvo Penta IPS turbo diesel engines. Press a button and the impressive sunroof slides back to invite a cooling sea breeze or the stars above.
The art of the escape has never been more fulfilling. Or simpler to command.
The light and luxury below
In the accommodation deck below, you’ll find a standard of luxury and appointments normally only associated with the finest hotels.
What hotel however could boast such constantly changing, always inspiring views? So, step down the timberfinished companionway and immediately notice the headroom, space and…the light! Lots of beautiful atrium light, brightening the space and your being, courtesy of the massive glass windscreen above. You’ll feel at home straightaway. And you still have the three staterooms and two bathrooms to experience and enjoy…
When the finest materials meet superior flair and commitment, true luxury is created. That’s exactly what you and your guests will experience on the accommodation deck of this unique yacht.
A tempting option for your 505 SUV is the inclusion of a very capable laundry station discreetly and centrally located in the companionway of the accommodation deck. It’s a laundry in a cupboard, a stacked washer and dryer providing an efficient solution to all the fresh laundry needs of everyone on board. So you can pack a little lighter and enjoy your adventures for as long as you like…..that’s the Riviera way.
Full beam master stateroom, private ensuite and a walk-in robe
A magnificent master stateroom with a private ensuite and a walk-in robe adds a new dimension to a yacht of this size. Large and luxurious, the 505 SUV master stateroom exceeds all expectations. Step inside and your first impression is broad and spacious. The walk-around, queen-sized island bed is pure heaven and features a plush headboard in concert with lush deep pile carpet. Boutique bedside tables of course, and these are grain matched with leather inlays. And there is still ample room for a highly polished timber drawer bureau port side and a chaise lounge to starboard. Amazing. To complete your opulent retreat, a designer ensuite bathroom and walk-in wardrobe are located forward on the port side.
Naturally both the master and ensuite feature reversecycle air conditioning. However large hull picture windows framing either side, fill the suite with natural light and a special feeling of being at one with your surrounds. A feeling accentuated on balmy days by fresh fragrant air from the opening portholes.
Clever design means ample storage. The queen sized island bed hinges up as if weightless on a pair of gas struts providing easy access to a handy bulk storage area perfect for travel bags and spare bedding. Then there’s the cedar-lined walk in wardrobe with shoe shelves, full length hanging space and a thoughtful Riviera extra … a safe for your valuables.
Relax and unwind. Your 42-inch LED TV, Blu-ray player and five speaker home theatre system is standing by waiting to entertain.
Your master bathroom is pure luxury; designed to make you feel totally at home, wherever you choose to anchor. Riviera’s designers have spared no effort in creating an ensuite that goes beyond what you might expect. A beautifully handcrafted vanity cabinet, solid surface benchtop, designer full-sized shower and more, the effect is both appealing and contemporary. And perhaps one of the nicest touches is a classic, ocean going, opening porthole that reinvigorates your being with fresh tangy sea air. Of course an alarm system to the helm ensures portholes are always shut when underway.
Give your guests the VIP treatment
On board your magnificent Riviera 505 SUV, guests receive VIP treatment, above and below decks. With this approach in mind, consider the breathtaking forward guest stateroom. Frankly you could be forgiven for mistaking it for the master, such is the level of comfort, finish and appointments.
As in the master, the island bed is queen sized and walk around, with a distinctive upholstered headboard. Notice the LED lighting situated here too, and the superb, handcrafted cabinetry. Of course that’s in addition to large his and hers, cedar-lined hanging lockers, as well as even more storage under the island bed, hinging up effortlessly on a pair of gas struts. There’s plush pile carpet underfoot, stylish hull windows perfectly framing the natural beauty outside as well as an LED TV and entertainment centre. Enjoy the comfort of reverse-cycle air conditioning or open the hatches above and catch a beautiful sea breeze. Yes, your family, friends and honoured guests will enjoy a total VIP experience.
Needless to say this detail in luxury and pampering also extends to the adjacent guestroom designer ensuite which, with dual entry points, also functions as the day head.
Always room for more
You’ll find the faster modern life goes, the greater the number of people who’ll feel the need to escape with you. So, any last minute family or friends can be accommodated and well cared for in your third stateroom, with private entrance door, forward on the starboard side. There are two adult sized Pulman style beds with a large open storage space below, bedside table, storage cupboard with drawers, along with thoughtful touches like Riviera cabinetry, reverse cycle air conditioning, plush carpet, LED lighting and a fragrant, cedar-lined hanging locker… that unmistakable Riviera air of restful luxury makes for an escape in a class of its own. Guests share the dual access ensuite of the forward stateroom via the day head entry and are always pleasantly surprised by the space and flair – a frameless, full sized shower, designer vanity, solid surface benchtop and large mirrors.
