The Riviera Yachts 4400 Sport Yacht Series II - IPS 2013 vs Riviera Yachts 4700 Sport Yacht 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 Yachts 4400 Sport Yacht Series II - IPS 2013 measures 49,6 feet overall (2013), giving it roughly 44,6 additional feet of deck space compared to the Riviera Yachts 4700 Sport Yacht 2007 at 5,0 feet (2007). At 276 lbs and 331 lbs respectively, both sit in a similar weight class — either should pair comfortably with most mid-size SUVs and half-ton trucks, though always confirm your specific tow rating with the motor added.

The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 1 150 hp, the Riviera Yachts 4700 Sport Yacht 2007 has a 780-hp advantage over the Riviera Yachts 4400 Sport Yacht Series II - IPS 2013's 370-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 Yachts 4700 Sport Yacht 2007 carries 634 gallons versus 396 gallons in the Riviera Yachts 4400 Sport Yacht Series II - IPS 2013. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.

Both boats are rated for 15 passengers — a good fit for a family of four or five plus guests. Comfort at capacity is another matter; the longer hull typically means more seat options and better weight distribution.
