Riviera 6000 Sport Yacht Platinum Boat Reviews

Overview

Snowbird is a term I heard a lot when in the US and it refers to people who live in the Northern States during the summer and then move South to Florida for the winter. It occurred to me that while we don't get snowed in back in Australia I see exactly the same movement North from people in Melbourne and Sydney escaping the colder months and that this Riviera is an ideal boat to do that in.

From an entertainment and liveaboard perspective this is a fantastic platform. She's also very easy and relaxing to operate from the primary helm with some of the best visibility for a yacht of this size, making her a relaxing vessel in busy waterways.

Add the convenience of a tender garage and the fact that it's a Riviera so she'll be ultra comfortable offshore and you have a very nice package for enjoying year round summers.
