Broker Overview

The 2015 Riviera 565 SUV, 'Escape Pod,' presents a compelling opportunity for a discerning buyer seeking a versatile, well-maintained yacht. Priced at $995,000, this vessel offers a unique blend of offshore capability, comfortable cruising, and entertainment. Riviera's SUV series is renowned for combining the robust build of their flybridge models with the practical, single-level living of a sport yacht, making it exceptionally adaptable. This particular 565 SUV benefits from significant recent upgrades, including a Seakeeper stabilizer, Starlink, and AIS, enhancing both comfort and safety. The twin Volvo IPS 950 engines provide efficient performance and excellent maneuverability, a key advantage for owners who value ease of handling. The professional maintenance regimen, overseen by a meticulous owner, is evident throughout the vessel. While the IPS system offers benefits, it's crucial to ensure all pod services are current. This yacht is positioned as a turn-key option for those looking to immediately embark on extended cruising or serious coastal adventures, offering substantial value given its condition and recent enhancements in today's market.

Expert Review

The Riviera 565 SUV is a testament to Australian boat building, known for its robust fiberglass construction and practical design. These vessels are built for serious offshore use, offering a dry ride and a solid feel in varying conditions. The IPS propulsion system, while excellent for handling and fuel efficiency, requires diligent maintenance; ensure a comprehensive survey includes a thorough inspection of the pods and associated systems. The single-level living space is a major draw, providing seamless flow from the cockpit to the salon, ideal for entertaining. Value for money on this particular boat is strong, considering the recent upgrades like the Seakeeper and Starlink. Comparables might include certain models from Maritimo or Princess, but the Riviera SUV's unique blend of sport yacht and flybridge characteristics sets it apart. Pay close attention to engine hours relative to service records, and inspect all teak decking and exterior brightwork for signs of neglect, though this vessel appears well-cared for.

Full Listing Description

New to market 2015 Riviera 565 SUV - Escape Pod. Photos are recent of actual boat taken in November 2025. Recent additions include seakeeper, starlink, and AIS. Services are up to date and ESCAPE POD is ready for her next adventure. She is professionally maintained by a local company with a Riviera pedigree. This Riviera 565 SUV is owned and operated by a retired commercial pilot who is passionate about her care. 

The SUV collection is a culmination of more than 40 years of boat building design, experience and extensive owner feedback from around the world.

Bearing Riviera’s classic hallmark design, the 565 SUV has been crafted with Riviera’s rich-heritage in mind. Combining the high performance, blue water cruising abilities and large open cockpit of the classic Flybridge with the fish raising abilities of the Offshore Express, and the single-level leisurely, entertaining features of the popular Sport Yacht series, has created a vessel like no other, a true bridge between all of them.
