Series II brings the 64 back to Fort Lauderdale
Riviera's official model page confirms the 64 Sports Motor Yacht Series II for the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show from 28 October to 1 November 2026. At 21.23 metres overall, the model remains inside LYG's under-24-metre scope despite offering substantial blue-water accommodation.
The Series II develops a platform first introduced in 2020, retaining walk-around side decks, a foredeck lounge, an all-weather alfresco deck and an enclosed flybridge. Riviera says the updated yacht refines those established elements with greater functionality and luxury.
Three or four cabins broaden the ownership choices
Below deck, buyers can choose three- or four-stateroom arrangements, supported by three bathrooms and a full-beam master suite. A separate utility room can also be configured as a crew cabin, allowing owners to decide whether additional storage, laundry capability or occasional crew accommodation is more valuable.
That flexibility is important at this size because some owners will operate privately while others may carry a professional captain or seasonal crew member. The layout can therefore be matched more closely to the yacht's actual cruising programme rather than forcing one operating model.
Enclosed flybridge extends the cruising season
The upper helm is contained within an air-conditioned enclosed flybridge, creating a protected navigation and living area above the main deck. An aft flybridge deck and docking station add visibility and outdoor space while keeping the principal helm protected from heat, rain and wind.
Riviera offers MAN shaft-drive engine options and integrates systems such as Garmin navigation, CZone digital switching and Sentinel remote monitoring. The combination is intended to deliver offshore capability while keeping controls and system management understandable for an experienced private owner or small crew.
A substantial yacht that remains below 24 metres
The 64 Series II demonstrates how much accommodation can now be packaged below the 24-metre dividing line between large private yachts and the superyacht market. Owners receive multiple social zones, a full-beam master and enclosed flybridge without moving into a significantly larger operational category.
Fort Lauderdale gives North American buyers an opportunity to inspect that balance directly. Riviera is taking inspection requests for the 64 Sports Motor Yacht Series II during FLIBS, which runs from 28 October through 1 November 2026.
