Overview
About this vessel
My seller's instructions are clear: submit all offers.
They are upgrading to a new vessel and it's time for this one to go. She has just had a full detail bow to stern and looks amazing.
Check out this beautiful, ever popular and rarely available Riviera-48 open flybridge. Even better is she's completely turn-key, with the current owner having meticulously maintained this boat with an amazing list of upgrades and works done below. There's nothing left to do except stock the fridges and decide where you want to go.
She is powered by twin Caterpillar engines, which allow you to cruise at 9 knots or 18 knots, whichever you desire.
Here's just some of the more recent works undertaken:
Note: As the broker, I personally know how good the Riviera-48s are, as I've owned mine for 14 years and done over 2500 hours of cruising on her. They are the best sea boat you will find, perfect for cruising Australia's coastline.
Located in Hervey Bay.
