Australia’s premier luxury motor yacht builder brings its newest Sport Yacht to American waters for the first time, marking the model’s official global public debut.
Riviera is making a statement at the Miami International Boat Show 2026, running through February 15, with the Americas Premiere of the 5600 Sport Yacht Platinum Edition. Following a private launch at Riviera’s Gold Coast facility in December, Hull No. 1 is now on display stateside. Denison Yachting, representing Riviera on the East Coast, is hosting private tours of this and five other Riviera models throughout the show.
What Makes It a Platinum Edition
The “Platinum Edition” designation signals Riviera’s highest tier of appointments: superior refinement, elevated materials, and design details that distinguish this model from the standard Sport Yacht line. It slots between the 4600 and 6000 Sport Yacht, filling a gap in the lineup for owners seeking more space without stepping up to the 6800.
Riviera’s Sport Yacht philosophy comes through clearly: timeless styling, single-level living, offshore capability, and straightforward operation. The stainless-framed sliding glass door and opening awning window merge the saloon and aft deck into one continuous entertaining space. Inside, the layout offers two distinct lounge areas, while below deck three well-appointed staterooms include a full-beam master suite and a dedicated laundry. These practical details matter for extended cruising.
Specs That Matter
LOA: 61′ 2″ (18.64m)

The IPS propulsion system pairs with Volvo Penta joystick control for simplified docking, while a Garmin Glass Cockpit and CZone digital switching keep everything at your fingertips. Remote monitoring via the Sentinel Marine App lets you check systems from shore.
Built for Real Use
The hydraulic swim platform lowers to water level with folding steps that deploy automatically, an innovative touch for swimmers, kids, or launching watercraft. The tender garage accommodates a 3.3-meter RIB with outboard attached, with extra storage for water toys and gear. Easy-glide rollers and an electric winch simplify launch and retrieval.
Up forward, the foredeck lounge and sunpads create a second outdoor living area. Wide side decks with raised coaming, non-skid surfaces, and LED courtesy lighting ensure safe movement throughout. The full-height engine room offers excellent access for service, something owners who do their own maintenance will appreciate.
The aft deck functions as an all-season space, sheltered by available short or long hardtop options. An L-shaped lounge surrounds a high-gloss wood folding table, with seating for eight-plus when loose chairs are added. The outdoor galley includes a grill, ice maker, refrigerator, and sink.
See It in Miami
Denison’s Riviera team is on-site at booth ED-10 through Saturday, showcasing six models: the 5600 Sport Yacht Platinum Edition, 6800 Sport Yacht, 50 Sports Motor Yacht, 46 Sports Motor Yacht, 465 SUV, and 4300 Sports Express. It’s a rare opportunity to compare layouts, performance, and accommodations across the range.
The team can discuss factory orders, delivery timelines, trade evaluations, and build options for any model in the Riviera lineup.
