2015 Riviera 445 SUV

Listing Broker Summary

It was truly a pleasure to familiarize myself with this vessel while compiling the listing and taking the photos (all photos taken August 2024). The 445 SUV offers a very high-end approach to the go anywhere, do anything modern yacht from this esteemed Australian builder. Entertain 12 for an evening of cocktails, take the family out for a 2-week cruise, or head to the Canyons to chase the fish. The 445 can do it all without compromise.

You will appreciate the “inside/outside” layout from the moment you step aboard. A sliding door and awning-style window connect the interior to the large cockpit outside, creating a fantastic platform for entertaining guests or just hanging out. Large windows in the hull and cabin house provide fantastic views from every corner. The high-end finishes, robust hardware and plentiful handrails show you that this is a builder committed to providing a high-quality and durable vessel, rather than just building to a price point.
