Another wonder from down under.

Its styling is reminiscent of a sportfish boat with distinctive hull windows. Though the large cockpit can be fished from, at its heart the 64 SMY is a well-appointed cruiser. Top speed of 30 mph is achieved by two 1,300-hp MAN V-drives and shafts.

The cockpit has yacht-like twin transom doors, an electric BBQ grill and sink. A large semi-enclosed mezzanine features comfortable seating, a varnished teak table, wetbar, fridge, icemaker and a retractable TV. A lifting window and sliding door provide easy access to the adjacent galley and salon.

Brightly varnished wood (walnut, cherry or oak) combine with stone surfaces and plush fabrics to create a lively, contemporary look. The galley rivals some home kitchens, offering refrigerator drawers, freezers and a dishwasher. Suited for meal prep, serving and entertaining, features here include wide counters, abundant storage, a deep sink, Miele three-burner cooktop and a convection oven/microwave.

The bow lounge includes seating for eight around a low table that converts to store a tender when running. The flybridge has twin helm seats and full controls with a great view from the helm. The spacious interior and exterior amenities include multiple lounges and tables, a flat screen TV and a fridge. Inside is heated and air conditioned, and opening windows, doors and a sunroof provide fresh air.

A full-beam master stateroom has an island berth and an ensuite head, which conveniently connects to a utility/laundry room. A queen VIP, a twin cabin that can convert into a double and a bunk room round out the sleeping deck.

“The 64 SMY has been designed equally for blue-water cruising and long-term livability, as much as for luxurious long-weekend escapes,” says Riviera Owner Rodney Longhurst.
