Riviera 4300 Sports Express: European premiere at the Cannes Yachting Festival

The Australian luxury yacht builder Riviera will unveil the new 4300 Sports Express at its European premiere, headlining the company’s exhibition stand at the Cannes Yachting Festival, scheduled for September 9–14, 2025. Alongside the 4300 Sports Express, Riviera will also showcase models from the Sport Yacht Platinum Edition collection (comprising four yachts) and from the SUV range, designed for adventure, which includes six models.

The new 4300 Sports Express is a highly versatile luxury motor yacht. It offers generous spaces for relaxation: a sports deck for sunbathing or dining, a foredeck sun lounge for relaxing, and an aft sea deck fully equipped for all kinds of water sports.

“Since 1985, our yachts have been highly valued in Europe for their long-range cruising capability, refined luxury, and outstanding build quality – said Rodney Longhurst, owner of Riviera Australia – We look forward to showcasing the ease of use that defines our yachts, now enjoyed by more than 6,000 Riviera owners worldwide”.

The new 4300 Sports Express stands out for its open and livable spaces. The aft platform lowers to transform into a real sea deck. At the stern, on the sports deck, a fully equipped barbecue area is integrated into the transom, along with a bar, a dining area, and the main galley. This deck, easy to clean, is air-conditioned and equipped with a TV. The forward sun deck features a triple sunbed and a comfortable forward-facing seat with a folding table, while the lower deck, dedicated to accommodation, offers a private owner’s cabin, a guest cabin, a bathroom with a full-size separate shower, TV, living-dining area, and a fully equipped kitchen. The propulsion system includes two options: twin Volvo Penta IPS 600 engines delivering 324 kW (440 hp) each or IPS 650 engines delivering 353 kW (480 hp) each.
