The supremely seaworthy Riviera 52 Enclosed Flybridge is testament to the luxury marque's position as being one of the foremost motoryacht-builders in the world.

"The 52 Enclosed is a three-stateroom/two-bathroom accommodation design with the master able to be located forward or aft. She also features innovative flybridge and cockpit designs as well as a superbly equipped aft galley that openly connects to the cockpit via the large awning window and sliding salon door," said Mr Castro.

"This model features a modern helm design with enough room for three 17-inch screens. CZone digital switching provides control of electrical systems and Volvo Penta IPS joysticks are at the helm and in the cockpit. A raft of subtle features from bow sprit to swim platform enhance onboard livability and luxury living."
