A PASSION FOR PERFECTION

Every new model in Riviera’s long and successful history of building Flybridge Convertibles features refinements and innovations. It’s a quiet revolution. But sometimes there is a quantum leap and the 33 Series II represents such a leap in both interior design and performance. We are indebted to Frank Mulder, one of the world’s leading naval architects, for creating a running surface that delivers such an impressive performance.The most notable feature of this hull is that the aft section features two pockets that house the propeller shafts. This provides a lower shaft angle that helps deliver superior forward thrust to achieve higher top speeds and improved fuel efficiency. You won’t find any exhaust outlets through the transom: these are located below water level, at the stern. The result is not only a quieter system but also a considerable reduction in exhaust gases. In typical Riviera fashion, the hull is a hand-laid fibreglass structure with a collision bulkhead forward. Extensive use of lightweight core stiffeners has brought about significant weight savings whilst contributing to superior strength. This is not only a robust, confidence-inspiring construction; the hydrodynamics are equally inspiring. The 33 Series II is quick on the plane like a Sports Cruiser and carves through rough water with ease.
