Riviera said its Riviera 4400 Sport Yacht Series II is tipped to be a crowd pleaser with the option of Zeus pod drives and twin 480 horsepower Cummins engines, additional cockpit seating, a new extended hardtop, increased head room in the aft cabin, and the 4400 Series II is the first in the Sport Yacht range to introduce large hull windows as a striking design element.
The company’s concept design manager Neil McCabe said the new hardtop, targa and hull windows have enhanced the aesthetics of the boat significantly from the popular Series I.
“The exciting new options that we introduced on our later Sport Yacht and Flybridge models have also been introduced on the 4400 Series II have made a great boat even better,” he said.
Riviera’s naval architect Alan Dowd said the hull on the new 4400 Series II Sport Yacht has been adapted for the Zeus drive option with the twin Cummins 480 horsepower engines.
“At the present moment it has IPS as standard but now we have added the option to have Zeus drives. The primary difference between IPS and Zeus drives is the propeller arrangement, IPS has forward facing propellers while the Zeus drive propellers are aft facing,” Alan said.
“Zeus has integral trim tab design that can be automatically programmed so that they apply as the boat speeds up. The trim tabs can be programmed to be on hard as the boat accelerates and automatically reduce as the boat gets on the plane.”
Alan said the 4400 Sport Yacht was a strong selling model with more than 76 boats sold since 2008 will be even more attractive to the boating market with the new styling and design enhancements as well as the Zeus drive option.
