knowing riviera, this heavy yacht will act like 2-3 footers is flat seas and eat it up like its nothing

Z this is incredible! You’re one lucky boat owner and we absolutely love this boat. Will tell Steve to chime in! Congratulations!

@@BoatTEST Yess!! Tell him it was the Schaefer 510 fly

A RIVA??? I don't know about that. I've seen almost every RIVA in their stable and they're all mega-gorgeous.

Maxwell Cohen Because sometimes you just want to move the bow one way or the other without rotating the whole boat.

Sabre makes nice boats but I just lean more towards Riviera in general because they have such exceptional handling qualities and excel in fit and finish. I’ve also seen many examples of them going way above and beyond with regards to customer service. For example, recently one owner told me he was having his teak redone. This required using a chemical to clean and bleach the teak. This chemical was not being flushed off the teak with enough running water and created streaks down the side in one small section. So they repainted his whole boat. That’s the Riviera mindset. - Capt. Steve

@@BoatTEST wow.. thanks for the input.. I will look more into the belize 66, I like what I see so far.. keep the awesome videos coming, these videos are what we look at to zero down what boat end up on our short list.. so Thanks

I would like one of the Riviera people to take me out for at least 3-4 hours to show me the ropes especially offshore. I've never driven a boat this big.

With a type-experienced mariner onboard with you, three 2-3-hour sessions on 3 separate days within a week or two, with the first session in the morning, the second session in the afternoon, and the final session in the late afternoon,. With all thee sessions you're at the helm leaving the slip, driving through and clear of the marina and channel, then retutning to port and redocking the vessel.

@@VoxOptimatium ah thank you, kind stranger! I am now that much closer to my dream then. To be honest I thought it would be harder than this. My biggest concern would be properly reading the navigational instruments, however it seems that the current generation of Garmins and such are not that obtuse?

@@adastra79 You're welcome, and, yes, current technology is a marvel; nonetheless, an essential element in becoming a capable mariner is formal instruction in navigation, seamanship, and boating safety. To get a feel for all there is to learn, visit the website for Newport Coast Maritime Academy.

Should be made extendable.
