Riviera 78, the biggest, most expensive Riviera yet, revealed

Riviera is about to usher in a new era for the luxury motor yacht maker, revealing the riviera 78 flagship.

Riviera plans to launch its biggest and most expensive luxury motor yacht yet early next year with the reveal last night of an all-new flagship – the Riviera 78.

Described as the boat that will usher in a new era for the brand, the new model was revealed last night at the global launch of the Riviera 645 SUV at the 2021 Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show.

More than 17 months in development and a closely guarded secret known to few people outside of the Gold Coast luxury motor yacht maker, the new flybridge model will cost around $5.5 million in standard trim.

On release, the boat will have a high level of standard equipment including carbon-fibre stabiliser fins – the Riviera 78 will be a true long-range bluewater cruiser.

Hull No.1 will be specified for the US market and will include two 27kW gensets. The model teased last night features an enclosed flybridge, but Riviera will also offer an "open fly" version for owners who prefer the open air.

Styled by Italian superyacht designer Luca Vallebona, it features a single hull window, four staterooms, a highly user-friendly cockpit, a bow lounge, and a large flybridge that can bring the outdoors inside via large drop-down windows, a sunroof, and a glass bulkhead that folds away.

The Riviera 78 uses an extended version of the hull that sits under the smaller Riviera 68 and 72 models.

Just like other Rivieras, this will be a sports yacht that will happily stretch its legs. The standard MAN 1550s that will power it will be good for extracting between 1000 to 1500 nautical miles out of the 10,500-litre onboard fuel capacity, yet will still hit a top speed of around 28 knots when asked.

An upgrade to V12 MAN 2000s also will be available, with the Riviera 78’s top speed estimated at around 34 knots. Cruising speed for this configuration is expected to be around 26 knots.

Riviera said options for the main saloon will include dining and lounge spaces or simply acting as the grand lounge with dining focused on the aft deck which can be semi-enclosed, covered entirely by the bridge deck overhang and protected by optional clears. 

“The large U-shape galley, with twin ovens, four-burner hob, comprehensive refrigeration and storage capabilities, has been positioned as a centrepiece of the entertaining spaces,” it said.

“An internal timber staircase leads from the port side of the main saloon to the bridge deck which also offers lounge, entertaining and dining spaces. A bar is built into the aft deck and a day head is optional.

It said the highly versatile foredeck offered a number of entertaining layouts and a Euro sun awning with the option to carry a tender or jetski and davit.

“An elegant curved timber staircase from the forward end of the main saloon leads to the accommodation deck with its four staterooms and three bathrooms. 

“The full-beam master suite amidships is bathed with natural light from extended hull windows. It provides an electrically adjustable king-size bed and extended his-and-hers en-suite bathroom. 

“The VIP guest stateroom fitted with a queen double bed and also benefiting from hull windows is forward, with an en-suite bathroom. 

“The port stateroom offers the option of a double bed or twin beds that can slide together. The starboard stateroom includes two single cross-over berths. 

“A third bathroom is shared and can act as a day head.”

The ability to upsize comes as Riviera further expands its Gold Coast manufacturing plant to add a 110-metre-long laminating shed and increase its workforce by another 34 apprentices.

The 2021 Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show starts today.

Written by Zuzana Bednarova

A Singapore -based family has formed Echo Yachts, a yacht manufacturer positioned in Western Australia ’s Henderson Marine Precinct to undertake the construction of the family’s yachts, comprising the largest ever super yacht built in Australia . The Company has brought together a regional ‘who’s who’ in the Australian super yacht industry.

Echo Yachts - Sheds

The 84 metre aluminium yacht will also be the largest tri-hulled super yacht ever built anywhere – with tri-hull configuration allowing for an impressive 20 metre beam which in turn will accommodate a vast deck expanse and palatial interior spaces. Construction will take 3 years from start to finish.

The arrangement also includes the construction of a 46 metre fibreglass catamaran that will be deployed as a support vessel for the larger build. The catamaran will carry 12 tenders designed with a range of sporting and exploratory capabilities.  A 12m tender will be equipped with full navigation systems and high tech 3D sonar’s for the exploration of sea beds and sunken wrecks.

Both the super yacht and the support vessel will feature unique hull forms and the construction processes will incorporate numerous state-of-the-art build techniques and bold engineering ideas.

Commenting on the project, Echo Yachts director Mark Stothard said “Together with my partners Jurien Van Rongen and Nick Gardiner, we are thrilled to have been selected to head-up this project and, we are very excited about the world-class credentials of those who will be working with us.”

The super yacht’s external design and interior styling will be led by Fremantle based and world-renowned super yacht supremo, Sam Sorgiovani .

One2three Naval Architects, who operate from both Sydney and Henderson, will act as the project’s naval architects.

Construction of the support vessel is already well under-way with completion scheduled for late 2015. Designed by New Zealand’s LOMOcean , the vessel boasts the project’s hallmark and cutting-edge hull forms, lightweight lay-ups and state of the art build techniques.

Superyacht Australia

Largest superyacht in australia berths in port stephens.

The largest domestic charter superyacht in Australia has berthed in The Anchorage Marina at Port Stephens.

M/Y Mischief is 54m long and is available for charter via the Ahoy Club .  The luxuriously appointed vessel has been chartered by Australian guests who flew in by helicopter, landed directly at the marina and joined the vessel shortly after its arrival.

David Good, CEO of Superyacht Australia commented. “Vessels such as M/Y Mischief are currently able to operate for guest holidays and it’s exciting to see such a large vessel in Port Stephens. The Anchorage Marina has the capacity to take these large vessels with outstanding infrastructure in a relatively secluded location”.

“The superyacht industry injects millions of dollars of economic contribution into small regional communities with their fresh seafood, local produce and wines plus tour and fishing guides with exceptional local knowledge.  Port Stephens is one of many regional NSW areas that could benefit from the visitation of superyachts such as M/Y Mischief.  Other regional destinations with the marina infrastructure capabilities to accommodate superyachts include Newcastle, Coffs Harbour and Eden, all with their own distinctive local attractions, exposing potential investors to the beauty of regional NSW.” stated Good.   

“With the current restrictions on international travel we hope many more high-end domestic guests choose to see regions like Port Stephens by chartering a superyacht. Having M/Y Mischief berth at The Anchorage should certainly draw other vessels to also explore this stunning waterway and region.” concluded Good.

MY Gran Finale

Boat: MY Gran Finale | Captain: Glenn Gorman

I would like to highly Recommend Coral Sea Marina for anyone considering a visit there. We had a fantastic stay in November/October of 2022, Coral Sea Marina continues to set the standard in customer service for Marinas in Australia and the World. Amber, Amy, and the team couldn’t have been more helpful during our stay and helped us greatly when we had an urgent medical situation onboard. I can’t recommend the place enough. The grounds and Docks are always in immaculate condition too.

Boat: SV Tawera | Captain: Mike Mahoney

In 50 years of world sailing, Coral Sea Marina is in a league if its own! The surroundings are beautiful, but the staff, management and services provided are first rate. They add huge value to any cruising experience. I can’t recommend CSMR more highly.

MY Sea Raes

Boat: MY Sea Raes | Captain: Ben Okey

Coral Sea Marina in my opinion presents as the premier marina for Super Yachts wishing to visit the Airlie Beach and the Whitsundays. The Staff and Facilities are exceptional. No matter the berth they allocate you the marina is laid out to prevent any weather influence on vessels and provides a safe haven for peace of mind. Coral Sea marina has on offer courtesy cars, fuel, Sewage pump out, ice & entertainment, which is a huge benefit for vessels travelling north. When I next visit the Whitsundays, I won’t look to another marina as you can’t beat Coral Sea marina.

Boat: MY Playpen | Captain: Peter Cook

Motor Yacht PLAYPEN has just had the most enjoyable visit to the wonderful Coral Sea Marina Resort. As a world travelling Superyacht it is a pleasure to stopover in such amazing spots around the world and CSMR is definitely a hidden gem. The facilities are terrific with a Crew lounge and all the facilities you could imagine. Location is right on the doorstep to the Great Barrier Reef and the superb cruising grounds of the Whitsundays and the staff are just wonderful. This is a definite stop on any yachts itinerary.

Boat: MY Lady E | Captain: James Kennedy

Coral Sea Marina was an excellent staging point for our most recent Whitsunday’s charter.  The marina is new, well presented and well appointed – including courtesy cars, hotels, ample parking and a secure berth.    The marina managers, maintenance team and security detail were friendly, accommodating and went out of their way to ensure our provisioning, extensive deliveries, crew changeovers, and guest welcome was efficient and professional.  Communication was open and concise throughout and plan changes or timing adjustments were never a problem.  We appreciated the hospitality and look forward to returning again this year.”  

MY Hey Jude

Boat: MY Hey Jude | Captain: Paul Maguire

Coral Sea Marina is by far the best marina in Australia for service and amenities. Our every wish was accommodated for swiftly and professionally without question. We love to come back every year.

Boat: MY Spirit | Captain: Martin Debanks

I have nothing but praise for the team at the Coral Sea Marina Resort, Amy and the crew provide a first class service in a first class marina. You will not find a better facility  in the South Pacific. Their knowledge and can do attitude is paramount to giving Super yacht worthy service to our owner and guests. Being located in the heart of the Whitsundays with easy access to such fantastic cruising grounds and the bustling town of Airlie Beach make this a must see destination and should be on everyone’s bucket list Check out MY Spirit’s video showcasing the best of the Whitsundays 

MY Silentworld

Boat: MY Silentworld | Captain: Michael Gooding

From the moment you contact Coral Sea Marina the service and follow up makes you feel like you are their only client. We have used the services of Coral Sea Marina on several occasions and look forward to returning every time.

MY La Bella Vita

Boat: MY La Bella Vita | Captain: Glenn McHenry

Coral Sea Marina is a true leader within the Australian Marine Industry. Providing a 5 star facility together with 5 star staff, we always feel at home at Coral Sea Marina.

Boat: SY Cavallo | Captain: Jack Reid

The 43 M sailing yacht ‘Cavallo’ is enjoying yet another cruise in the glorious Whitsunday region. Once again availing ourselves of the excellent facilities at Coral Sea in the bustling township of Airlie Beach to do our preparations it took no time convincing us to cruise the area again, this time utilsing some of the new designated anchorages that have recently become available to larger yachts. As we typically draw more water than other smaller yachts we find we are no hinderance to them and they usually give us a wave before going in closer to anchor. The anchorages are well spaced around the compass points to provide options for all wind and swell directions. We now have better access the many walking trails and the famous pristine beaches that the Whitsundays have to offer. I’m a long time convert to the cruising possibilities here and this now makes the experience far more feasible and more complete! I’m sure other yachts like ours will follow.

Phoenix One

Boat: Phoenix | Captain: Phil Donohue

Just a quick note to thank all of the staff of Coral Sea Marina for making our stay a memorable experience. Phoenix One spends 8 months of the year away from her home port and visiting the Whitsunday region each year as well as Coral Sea Marina is the highlight of the cruising year. I have been cruising the Whitsunday region for many years and I have seen the transformation of Coral Sea Marina into in my opinion the best marina on the East coast of Australia. It really is the place to Stay Play & Explore. The crew of Phoenix One looks forward to seeing you next year.

Boat: Hillsy | Captain: Jason Mills

I would like to take this opportunity to say a big thank you to the Coral Sea staff and management. I feel it must be said with 14 years’ experience (super yachts) of visiting the Whitsunday region and in particular Coral Sea Marina, your marina and staff have undergone what I could be best described as a miraculous transformation, the can-do attitude was a delight to deal with, and the surroundings within the marina are world class. Managements changes and plans are truly a credit to all involved, we loved our experience this year, and I look forward to berthing again real soon in Australia’s newest number ONE marina, Coral Sea. Well done everyone.

Boat: SY Indio | Captain: Ben Mackay

The new depths on the superyacht arm has provided SY Indio, which has a 5m draught, to use Coral Sea Marina as a suitable base during its stay in the Whitsundays. Coral Sea has been very accommodating allowing us to change berths on request and assisting us with anything required. I would recommend it to any yacht cruising the Whitsundays.

Boat: MV Vegas | Captain: Greg Numa

Our Motor Yacht Vegas cruises the Whitsundays and surrounding Great Barrier Reef extensively for 4 months of the year. Every year. We are in the region around Late July early August and do not leave until early December. We have cruised extensively throughout Australia and the South Pacific Islands all the way to Tahiti. We use many marina facilities throughout our travels. Whether it be long term or casual berthing, provisioning or overnight stays. There is no equal to the reception you get on arrival at Coral Sea Marina. It is not just the pleasant, well-educated staff. Or the effort they go to from the time they take your call on the phone to make a booking to your arrival at the dock. It is the culture instilled in everyone involved at Coral Sea Marina. Paul has built by far the best superyacht destination in Australia. It does not stop there. Paul and his highly motivated team ensure your stay is as stress free as humanly possible. They go out of their way to ensure this happens. The marina provides courtesy cars. They provide Helicopter transfers between the mainland and the airport on nearby Hamilton Island. Paul himself is Yacht owner and this reflects in the service he provides to other yacht owners from the many years he has cruised the waters in and around Australia. You cannot provide a better service unless you have experienced what other marinas offer. Coral Sea Marina has not been built on chance. Paul has designed the Marina around how he lives. You treat others how you would like to be treated yourself. He has staked his reputation on it. And all this reflects on the outstanding staff he employs and the destination Coral Sea Marina is. The facilities and infrastructure of Coral Sea Marina and the ongoing development of services the marina provides for all yacht uses in the Whitsundays, is second to none. Without question, every year since Paul and his talented team of individuals took over Coral Sea Marina, we get excited heading back there.

Boat: SV Sarissa | Captain: Greg Monks

Sailing the Whitsunday islands has to be one of the highlights of sailing in Australia. Coral Sea Marina is conveniently located close to the best sailing areas of the Whitsundays but also in a very protected spot which offers great protection from strong south easterly trades. With her keel up, Sarissa draws 4m which is no problem for the marina. We’ve all been impressed by the extremely helpful and friendly support we have received whilst visiting and look forward to coming back again in the future.

SV Hemisphere

Boat: SV Hemisphere | Captain: Gavin Bladen

Everyone at Coral Sea has gone out of their way to make sure our stay went smoothly. Coral Sea is a great facility for yachts to prepare for trips out into the Whitsundays, or take a little down time for the crew. The marina facilities have undergone a major revamp since their humble beginnings and now tick all the boxes a superyacht looks for when deciding where to berth. The Whitsundays is Australia’s premier charter ground and offers everything a superyacht needs to keep her guests entertained. From tropical islands, pristine beaches, beautiful and protected anchorages, and shore-based activities like scenic flights, spas, access to fantastic diving out in the Coral Sea, and Great Barrier Reef and the world-renowned SS Yongala wreck which lies just off Townsville, along with great sport fishing opportunities.

Echo Yachts signs contract for world's largest sail-powered catamaran

Australian builder Echo Yachts has announced the construction of a full-custom, 57-metre catamaran. 

Commissioned by an "experienced [and] private client", it is slated to become the world's largest sail-powered catamaran and supersede the recently-delivered ArtExplorer . This marks the shipyard's entry into the large, custom sailing yacht market.

The catamaran will have a total sail area of 1660 square metres and an "extremely efficient" aluminium hull form for "eco-efficient, long range cruising".

Dykstra Naval Architects will be responsible for exterior styling, layout and naval architecture, while One2Three Naval Architects will work across details and structural design. The team's combined portfolio includes the 106.7-metre Black Pearl , the 66.9-metre Hetairos , the world's largest trimaran White Rabbit and Australia's largest catamaran, Charley 2 .

"Echo Yachts are extremely excited and proud to have been selected to custom build this magnificent catamaran sailing superyacht, and look forward to bringing the yacht to fruition with our client, Dykstra and One2Three," said shipyard owner and director Mark Stothard.
