The pairing of premium MAN marine diesel engines and the high-performance Twin Disc V-Drive and QuickShift systems are an innovative engineering solution designed to enhance onboard comfort, manoeuvrability, and overall boating enjoyment aboard larger Riviera shaft-drive motor yachts.

By utilising V-Drive gearboxes, the engines can be positioned further aft behind the gearbox arrangement. This clever design not only creates significant additional accommodation space but also reduces vibration and noise throughout the living areas, delivering a quieter and more refined cruising experience.

The Twin Disc QuickShift technology then provides smooth and responsive gear changes, while the integration with the hydraulic bow and or stern thruster allows the joystick control to deliver exceptional low-speed manoeuvrability and precision handling when docking or navigating in close quarters.

The superior combination of the exceptional power-to-weight ratio, compact design, and the high fuel efficiency of MAN engines, with the smooth and precise Twin Disc systems, is another example of Riviera’s commitment to engineering excellence and ease of boating.

It is innovative design and smart technology like this that is just another reason why you will enjoy boating more with Riviera.

“…we’re not merely talking about a new model here, more a 56ft statement of intent to outdo everything that had come before. The applause that echoed across the Coomera River on the launch evening suggests the 5600 Sport Yacht Platinum Edition is right on the money,” said Mark Rothfeild.

“It delivers the robust offshore capabilities, design refinement, and supreme craftsmanship that the Gold Coast builder is internationally renowned for. Australian boat building, take bow.”

The Riviera 5600 Sport Yacht Platinum Edition stars on the front cover of Club Marine magazine that features a boat review by Mark Rothfield.
