Riviera’s new 445 SUV makes her first US appearance at the Fort Lauderdale boat show

Fort Lauderdale, Florida, US: Riviera’s much-anticipated new 445 SUV will make her first US appearance at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show in October.

The latest creation from Australia’s largest and most awarded luxury boat builder is a culmination of more than 32 years of boat building design, experience and extensive owner feedback from around the world.

The 2012 Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show will mark the official US release of the stunning new 63 Enclosed Flybridge.  This exceptional new shaft drive model has ticked all the right boxes for the discerning new boat owner and has already sold three boats since this model’s announcement earlier this year.

The 53rd annual Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show is the largest in-water boat show in the world encompassing three million square feet of space on land and in water over six sites and attracting visitors from around the world.

Riviera’s impressive line-up this year includes the new 445 SUV, new 63 Enclosed Flybridge, 43 Open Flybridge, 53 Enclosed Flybridge, the new generation 5000 Sport Yacht, and the 4400 Series II Sport Yacht.

Riviera’s International sales director Chris McCafferty said Riviera’s latest models had been very well received in the US and prospective owners were eagerly awaiting the arrival of these new models.

“The new SUV Collection is a true crossover between Riviera’s three popular model series,” he said.

“I anticipate the new 445 SUV will appeal to the astute American buyer because it combines the high performance, blue water cruising abilities of the classic Flybridge with the fish raising abilities of the Offshore Express, and features the popular single-level entertaining characters of Riviera’s Sport Yacht series.”

Riviera’s director of brand and communication Stephen Milne said people had long recognised Riviera’s strong build quality and hallmark design over a 32 year evolution where almost 5000 boats have been launched.

“There is tremendous confidence in the Riviera brand and given the often harsh and savage Australian boating environment, Riviera has developed a solid reputation for building dependable, strong, high quality, ocean-going vessels without compromising on any aspect of luxury,” he said.

The Riviera display will be located at C Dock, slips 327, 329 and 331, as well as a Belize Motoryacht display with details of the new 52 Sedan and Daybridge models.
