Broker Overview

This 2019 Riviera 68 Sport Motor Yacht, hull number 012, represents a compelling opportunity for a discerning buyer seeking a high-quality, versatile vessel. Launched to an experienced Riviera owner, it was specified with a keen eye for detail, notably being the first to feature the now-standard reimagined mezzanine seating configuration. This 75-foot motor yacht offers a robust fiberglass hull, powered by twin MAN V12 engines, providing a reliable and capable platform for both serious cruising and entertainment. The enclosed flybridge is a significant asset, offering a quiet, climate-controlled command center that enhances the sense of a much larger vessel. Multiple distinct social zones, including the split-level cockpit, spacious galley, and foredeck lounge, cater to diverse activities simultaneously—from fishing and al fresco dining to quiet relaxation. While located in Phuket, Thailand, its build quality and design make it suitable for a wide range of cruising grounds. The asking price of $2,875,000 positions it competitively for a yacht of this caliber, age, and specification, though potential buyers should factor in relocation costs if not planning to cruise in Southeast Asia. This is a well-maintained, modern yacht designed for practical performance and luxurious comfort.

Expert Review

The Riviera 68 Sport Motor Yacht is a well-regarded vessel, known for its robust build quality and excellent sea-keeping characteristics. Riviera's fiberglass construction is consistently strong, providing a solid platform that handles offshore conditions capably. The twin MAN V12 engines are a proven choice, offering a good balance of power and efficiency for a yacht of this size. Expect a comfortable ride and predictable handling, even in a chop. From a value perspective, this 2019 model at $2,875,000 represents a strong offering given its age, extensive specification, and overall condition. During a survey, pay close attention to engine service records, particularly given its location and potential for high-humidity environments. Inspect all electrical systems, air conditioning, and refrigeration units thoroughly. For comparable alternatives, consider vessels like the Maritimo M64 or certain Princess models in the 65-70 foot range, though the Riviera's enclosed flybridge and mezzanine layout offer a distinct advantage for many buyers.

Full Listing Description

The Riviera 68 Sport Motor Yacht is an amazing yacht which brings together superb sea keeping ability and practical yachting performance, coupled with fabulous build quality and and a luxurious interior. Launched in 2019 to an experienced Riviera owner, 68/012 was specified to a very high level indeed, and was the first yacht with the reimagined mezzanine seating configuration, which has since become the standard.


Piloting this yacht from the enclosed flybridge gives one the impression of a much larger vessel, and all in the perfect quiet comfort that the enclosed bridge brings. There are many areas for relaxing and socializing on board and the split level cockpit gives room for simultaneous fishing or cooking, whilst others relax on the mezzanine lounges with a drink in shade and comfort.


The galley is central to the yacht and opens fully to the mezzanine; a delight for the chef who is no longer excluded from the conversation. the foredeck is a perfect place to enjoy an aperitif before dinner, or relax and see the stars once night falls.


Guest cabins are generously appointed and there is plenty of storage all around.
