Overview
About this vessel
La RIVA is a 17m Riva design twin station launch crafted by Dickson Marine in Nelson in 1990. Only 2 owners since new, the vendors have loved living aboard and cruising for the past 6 years.
She combines spacious living with performance and the strength of a GRP/Carbon Fibre hull.
7 berths in 3 cabins include a queen master with full ensuite, forward island berth with head access and a bunk over double cabin. A spacious saloon is upholstered to give a more modern, contemporary apartment style feeling.
The flybridge features a solid hardtop, ample seating and excellent views. The cockpit features excellent sheltered outdoor living with custom clears and shade curtains.
A full galley includes a 4-burner gas oven, microwave, air-fryer oven, 24v fridge and freezer, large benches and great storage.
Recent maintenance includes new start batteries and new GEL house batteries, interior and aft cooler flushes, a reconditioned turbo, and antifouling completed in October 2024.
La Riva offers an excellent layout to suit living aboard, entertaining and cruising. Presented in very tidy order, she is only for sale due to the vendors moving overseas.
