The Riviera 4600 Sport Yacht Platinum Edition is the Australian builder’s take on the sports cruiser: a single level, open plan motor yacht built on a genuine blue-water hull. At 15.31 metres overall and 4.7 metres in the beam, she offers the volume of a larger boat in a format an owner can handle without full time crew.
The Platinum Edition designation brings the current, most refined specification, with updated styling, systems and finish over the standard 4600. The layout centres on a social main deck, where the saloon, galley and cockpit flow together and open to the sea, with a large hydraulic platform for tenders and water toys in the accommodation sleeps six across two cabins, enough for family cruising and weekends aboard.
Power comes from twin Volvo Penta D8-IPS800 pod drives, each rated at 441 kilowatts, driving forward-facing counter-rotating propellers. The IPS installation brings efficiency, a quiet ride and joystick manoeuvring that makes docking straightforward. A 2,100 litre fuel capacity supports real passages, and the Riviera hull delivers the dry, sure-footed ride the yard is known for.
For a buyer who wants an offshore capable sports yacht with the easy handling of IPS and the resale strength of the Riviera name, the 4600 Platinum Edition is a serious and practical proposition.

Twin Volvo Penta D8-IPS800 pod drives power the 4600 Platinum Edition, each rated at 441 kilowatts and driving forward-facing, counter-rotating propellers. The IPS installation is the heart of the package: it delivers strong torque and a class competitive power-to-weight ratio against a dry weight near 20 tonnes, with the fuel efficiency and low noise that pod drives are known for. The forward-facing props bite clean water ahead of the hull, improving grip and economy. A 2,100 litre fuel tank gives genuine cruising range, and the Riviera blue-water hull, developed and ocean tested by the in house design team, delivers the soft, dry and sure-footed ride the yard built its reputation on. Joystick control makes close quarters handling simple, so the boat suits an owner operator.
The 4600 wears the clean, contemporary sports yacht lines that define Riviera’s current range, with a single level profile, a hardtop over the main deck and large glazing that keeps the silhouette low and purposeful. The exterior is built around usable outdoor living: a generous cockpit flows to a large hydraulic swim platform that launches tenders and water toys and brings guests to the water, while a dedicated foredeck lounge adds a second social zone forward. The toy garage, barbecue and aft deck layout reflect a boat designed for time spent outside at anchor. Finish and hardware are to the standard expected of the Platinum Edition, and the whole package reads as a modern, well resolved sports cruiser rather than a styling exercise.
Below decks the 4600 Platinum Edition sleeps six across a thoughtfully arranged two stateroom layout. The full beam master stateroom amidships takes advantage of the hulls width, with an ensuite and good natural light, while a forward VIP stateroom and a port cabin add flexibility for family or guests. Materials and joinery are finished to Riviera’s high standard, warm and durable for life in a marine environment. An optional lower lounge configuration lets an owner trade a cabin for additional living space. Headroom and stowage are generous for a 15 metre sports yacht, and the accommodation is genuinely liveable for extended cruising rather than just overnighting. This is a boat set up to be lived aboard on longer trips.
The main deck is where the 4600 makes its case. The saloon, galley and cockpit sit on a single level and open to one another and to the sea, so entertaining flows from the wet bar and dining area straight out to the aft deck and swim platform. Large windows and the hardtop keep the space bright and sheltered in equal measure. Forward, the unique foredeck lounge gives a quieter retreat for mornings at anchor, and the barbecue and outdoor galley support long days aboard. The emphasis throughout is on sociable, sun filled living with easy movement between zones, the kind of layout that makes a sports yacht of this size feel larger than its numbers suggest.
Built in Australia by Riviera, the 4600 Sport Yacht Platinum Edition carries the engineering credibility of the southern hemisphere’s largest luxury yacht builder. The Volvo Penta IPS driveline simplifies ownership through efficiency, serviceability and joystick handling, and the blue-water hull and solid build support confident offshore use. The Platinum Edition specification brings the model up to the current standard of styling, systems and finish. Riviera’s global dealer network and the strong resale the brand enjoys are real ownership advantages, particularly for a boat likely to be used hard and cruised long distances. For a buyer choosing among 15 metre sports cruisers, the 4600 Platinum Edition offers offshore capability, owner operator friendly handling and the reassurance of a builder with a four decade track record.
