The Riviera 395 SUV 2018 vs Riviera Yachts 37 Flybridge 2007 comparison sits squarely in the category of decisions where specs alone won't tell the whole story — intended use, storage, and long-term ownership costs all factor in.

Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Riviera 395 SUV 2018 measures 43,6 feet overall (2018), giving it roughly 4,6 additional feet of deck space compared to the Riviera Yachts 37 Flybridge 2007 at 39,0 feet (2007). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Riviera 395 SUV 2018 tips the scales at 27 778 lbs — 25 375 lbs more than the Riviera Yachts 37 Flybridge 2007 at 2 403 lbs. That difference is meaningful if you're working within a half-ton or three-quarter-ton truck's tow rating, especially once you factor in a motor, gear, and fuel.

The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 740 hp, the Riviera Yachts 37 Flybridge 2007 has a 300-hp advantage over the Riviera 395 SUV 2018's 440-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Riviera 395 SUV 2018 carries 396 gallons versus 324 gallons in the Riviera Yachts 37 Flybridge 2007. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.

For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Riviera 395 SUV 2018 is rated for 13 passengers, while the Riviera Yachts 37 Flybridge 2007 caps at 12. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Riviera 395 SUV 2018 could be the deciding factor.
