Riviera’s newest yacht has ties to both the northern and southern hemispheres.
The 4300 Sports Express—which measures 13.88 meters, or 45 feet 6 inches—was inspired by the Mediterranean but designed and made in Australia. The newcomer first debuted at the Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show on the Gold Coast in May, but will make its international premiere at the prestigious Cannes Yachting Festival this September. It sounds like it will win over a few yachters, too.
Riviera expects the $1.6 million motor yacht to be especially popular with the sun-loving Europeans. “The European market particularly loves that ‘day boat’ style that can comfortably entertain larger groups,” Riviera owner Rodney Longhurst said in a statement. “That’s exactly what the 4300 Sports Express delivers—so we’re looking forward to showcasing Australia’s expression of this great outdoors design in Cannes.”
Constructed from GRP, the new sports cruiser features a planing hull and twin diesel Volvo Penta IPS 600s rated at 440 hp each. (You can also opt for 480 hp Pentas.) It can reach over 30 knots at full tilt, ensuring plenty of thrilling jaunts and day trips. The yacht can sleep five guests in two cabins, if you do want to stay overnight. The living quarters include a private owner’s stateroom, an aft cabin, a large bathroom with a separate shower, a main galley, and a TV lounge.
Heading outside, the open-plan sports deck is designed for lounging, dining, and entertaining, the sun deck offers space for relaxing at anchor, and the sea deck is geared toward water sports. “This is where the Sports Express excels—its entire stern is open, offering exceptional access to the water for maximum enjoyment,” adds Longhurst. Riviera says it is the sea deck specifically that is attracting international interest from both first-time boat owners and seasoned yachters alike.
The Australian yard exports around 65 percent of its annual production each year, with Europe being an established market since 1985. “Riviera is proud to showcase Australian craftsmanship on the global stage, and European buyers have consistently sought after our motor yachts,” Longhurst said. “That’s testament to our unique blend of luxury, offshore performance, precision engineering, and ‘built to last’ philosophy.”
The 4300 will be joined by the sophisticated 4600 Sport Yacht Platinum Edition and the sporty 395 SUV at Cannes. The Riviera fleet will then head to the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show in late October, where the yard will host its largest ever international display with 13 luxury motor yachts on the water.
