Its a great boat and the quality of Riviera is always first class. If you want a office or a work dest then you can have one. In fact I have one on order with a work station in the master and a pull out desk in the saloon. Riviera boats are built to last unlike many other boats where the wiring and electrical connections corrode after just a few years. These boats are true blue water boats built for ocean going conditions.

How much?

I have a system. It doesn't work well if at all. Fact.

🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳👏🏽👏🏽🍾🥂👌🏽👍

Ill miss captain Steve, but trip is a great replacement

Lets goooo! Captain Trip! The legend himself

Why is test weight listed in gallons?

Probably a million plus

Captain Trip needs to take a Trip Dip like he does on his UKposts channel lol

For a channel like this, you should double check your info before posting it especially the fuel burn/consumption! Also would like to see more of a performance of the vessel beside the interior. Still a good video.

I wanna see this on a pitchblock and repaired

Nice rig, they packed a lot on this 25ver. Looks good too. Hard top is nice.

Why is it so expensive for a mass produced converted car engine

Welcome back to Capt. Steve, always a thorough review, probably seawater running thru his veins!

WHY is there music playing in the background? Do you NOT want us to hear Captain Steve?

Love the layout.

Have you tried military such a submarines Improvement

Great review from a pro Captain. Perfect for cruising the Caribbean or South East Asia where you would have the range to head from Thailand to Sri Lanka or the Spice Islands. With a top speed of 32 kn the vessel should be able to outrun most pirates. Great for sports fishing and diving. A fantastic bit of kit!!

They call it mid sized, however 1/2 inch less width and a few inches shorter than the FX is not much different. I currently own a 2023 VX Cruiser HO I picked up at a boat show this past January with galvanized trailer was just $15,100.00 total out the door since I paid cash.

You didn't specify whether it is electric, petroleum, or gas, and how many kilometers it covers.

OK So I see that you are able to manoeuvre the boat easily, and you say that it has all the adjustments available with the joystick and bow/stern thrusters...But I'm thinking those controls are placed such that they are accessed with the right hand of the skipper/captain. Surely, in close quarters, bow/stern thrusters and joy stick may be required by novice captains AT THE SAME TIME. I'D like to see the bow/stern thrusters available to the left hand so that they could ba accessed and adjusted in conjunction with the joystick !!! I know you will argue that there is already such control and the joystick is adequate or that it's TOO much control you say?! If that was so, why offer it at all? If you are going to offer it, make it available at ALL times. There are times when one has to deal with wind or current on the nose and it can be necessary to control all of that as you use the joystick. I guess I'm saying...we have two hands, two controls...why not use them.

is the hull still hollow ? filled?

It should be better as it's a toroidal propeller. Same concept with airplane / drone propellers. They were created to develop a quieter blade design but noise, or cavitation, is a function of ineffeciency so the blade design is also more powerful and fuel efficient.

Can you put clears on the boat? And what is the fuel burn and range?

That head is almost as good as some you see on 40 footers

Hmm will regal make another model using the hull design, fly bridge model maybe

Nice Lake/inshore boat for the family/day cruisers who might fish occasionally.

Well done tour...nice boat.

What happened to the fuel consumption numbers?

The non supercharged version has a wayyy better range and a similar top speed within 3 to 4 mph.

When did ya get this reviewing gig Trip?

i would love to get this due to the rear swim platform but not being able to keep it in salt water for 3-4 days on a fl keys week trip is a dealbreaker for me. i mean i guess you would just have to trailer it out more often to flush the engines but that sounds like a hassle if you have a dock or boat slip

No trolling motor or power poles, otherwise looks great. What's the draft. I own a jet boat and prop boat. I love the jet the most. No worried about hitting things with prop, safer for kids.

Trip dip ?

Wish it didn’t have pod drives. Just got back from a run in the Bahamas and there’s a lot of skinny water where a forward facing drive would make me very nervous. It wasn’t uncommon to be stirring up a little sand with inboards - can’t imagine doing it with pods.

Very nice boat looks like it handles very well 👍👍😎

show the hull paint after you beached it...

Basically the American interpretation of a Princess V55 minus the Pininfarina looks minus the British seakeeping qualities.

Lekker man lekker 🇿🇦

How much would it cost compared to something like a Princess V50 or V55?

its very nice the external appointments are great but i would expect a 54 to have a proper salon. rather than a (too large) galley and only booth style dining area. i would prefer to see this as a two cabin configuration with a galley down with a dining table (adaptable for occasional extra sleeping for 2) and two generous cabins each en suite.

Born in Barcelona 😊

That's definitely a beauty right there love the design

I won’t pay 5K for that. No way.

Messy design….

I'm looking forward to when diesel outboards are common in the U.S.! You won't have nearly as much of a problem with "dropping speed when she digs her shoulder in". Plus, cleaner and better fuel economy! Those OXE 350's from across the pond need to become common options here in the States, asap!🙏

1:24 beautiful salon.

Such a gorgeous and well thought out yacht, but at 1:02 the step up to the relatively narrow doorway, and a few seconds later the awkwardness of entering is quite obviously displayed imv; standing below the step, opening door, stepping up. I would gladly give up 1/2 of those storage cabinets for a generous salon door, and hope to see a 'step-up' feature work-around, or a lengthening of that step with sliding door verses 'hinged' . :shrugs:

6:17 This is the first 'walk-through' I've seen where the presenter actually gave us measurements in leu of just saying; ''the bulwarks and railing are quite high'', leaving everyone guessing at the applicable translation. 😄 Excellent.

Why did they design the crew quarters to not resemble that of a shackled holding cell for indentured servants? 😄 Beautiful accommodations. I bet any crew would be quite appreciative, also noteworthy imv is the dual access points.
