The Elite Craft Riviera 27′ GLE, is top of the line. GLE for Great Lakes Edition, where creator David Smith grew up. This superior craft is a collaboration of both David and his son Eric Smith. It features a Jim Wynne designed bottom with optional tunnel and lifting strakes. From the water line up, and from the bow to the tumble-home, creators David Smith and Eric Smith collaborated designing this boat, giving it the benchmark graceful lines that Elite Crafts are known for. This new craft will delight even the most discriminating boater. It has an expanded cockpit room, a forward cuddy, and the huge engine bay allows for easy servicing and maintenance. The hull is super-efficient and planes instantly with little power. Pinpoint docking is also possible via thrusters to make tight spaces at the marina stress free.

This new exciting design delivers the soft ride, grace and power you deserve. It includes a full range of options, from bow and stern thrusters to custom interior, power choices and color packages allowing absolute personalization to your craft.
