Broker Overview

The 2021 Riviera 5400 Sport Yacht Platinum Edition, "Frivolous," represents a compelling opportunity in the luxury cruiser market. This 54-foot vessel, with its twin Volvo Penta IPS 950s and just 550 hours, offers a modern platform with significant remaining warranty coverage on the engines until February 2026. Riviera's build quality is consistently high, and the Platinum Edition details, such as the high-gloss walnut joinery and custom Corian galley, elevate the interior finish. The inclusion of a Seakeeper 9 gyro stabilizer is a major asset for comfort underway and at anchor, a feature serious buyers prioritize. The Volvo Glass Cockpit with Garmin integration, joystick docking, and Dynamic Positioning System simplify operation and enhance safety. While the asking price reflects its premium status and recent vintage, the comprehensive feature set—including the Brig tender, tropical A/C, and upgraded exterior fabrics—adds considerable value. This is a turn-key yacht for an owner seeking contemporary styling, proven performance, and a high level of amenity without the wait time of a new build. Its three-cabin layout makes it highly versatile for families or entertaining. We see this as a strong contender for buyers looking for a well-maintained, late-model sport yacht.

Why This Boat Stands Out

Seakeeper 9 Gyro Stabilizer for exceptional comfort and stability.

Platinum Edition luxury finishes, including high-gloss walnut and custom Corian.

Expert Review

The Riviera 5400 Sport Yacht is a well-regarded vessel, known for its robust fiberglass construction and excellent sea-keeping abilities. The IPS drives deliver efficient performance, responsive handling, and are a significant advantage for docking, especially with the joystick and DPS. For a buyer, the value proposition here is strong: a late-model yacht with critical upgrades like the Seakeeper and a tender, all still under significant engine warranty. During a survey, pay close attention to the IPS pods and ensure all service records are current. Check for any signs of water intrusion around the retractable sunroofs, although Riviera generally builds these systems well. Compare this vessel to similar models like the Azimut 55S or Sunseeker Predator 57; the Riviera typically offers a more robust build and a layout optimized for comfortable cruising. This particular yacht appears to be well-equipped and maintained, representing a solid investment for a discerning buyer.
