Riviera designers have also built in a high degree of flexibility. The stateroom is large enough to accommodate three adult-sized single beds with ease. (Incidentally,, the bases and risers of the beds are now lined with premium leather). If required, your guests have the option of sliding together the two portside to form a double bed for couples.

Access to the engine room — with acoustic ad thermal insulation and LED lighting — is via a deck hatch from the cockpit. Its here that you will really begin to appreciate the careful consideration for which Riviera is renowned globally in terms of its engine rooms.

The impressive commercial air intake system helps to keep the engine room temperature well below the engine manufacturer’s formal recommendation, reducing fuel consumption even further, while the air-conditioning units are mounted high so gravity feeds condensation water into the common drain lines located on wither side of the yacht and which drain aft and overboard.

All onboard drains also feed into these common drain lines while the advanced mist elimination system with veins draws moisture from the air and feeds directly overboard.

Four automatic bilge pumps with manual override are located at various points throughout the hull and also pump directly overboard.

All batteries on board the 4800 Sport Yacht Series II Platinum Edition are maintenance-free to ensure carefree boating and are housed in special battery boxes in accordance with American Boating and Yacht Council (ABYC) and the European Union’s CE industry standards.

The 4800 has two starting battery banks comprising two batteries per bank for the port and starboard engines. The house battery bank comprises two batteries, and there are two batteries in the auxiliary bank. Individual alternators for each battery bank ensure charging systems are optimized whilst underway and an emergency parallel function provides increased reliability, just in case you are ever faced with a flat start battery bank.

All batteries are isolated at the main battery panel in the cockpit.

The house power is 24-volt, which allows for simpler charging, lower current draw and smaller cables (further reduced weight) than equivalent 12-volt systems. The Mastervolt DC-AC inverter provides power to the icemaker, entertainment systems and one galley outlet, and ensures watching television while relaxing quietly at anchor is whisper-quiet.

LED lights provide trouble-free boating while reducing electrical current draw. The lamps use less than 10 percent of the power required to run a halogen lamp — no bulbs mean no maintenance and a long service life. Additionally, Residual Current Device/Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (RCD/GFCI) provides protection over the entire yacht and also complies with ABYC and CE standards for safer boating.
