Overview

About this vessel

Here is your chance to own one of Riviera's classic offshore models.

The Riviera 43 Offshore Express is a versatile boat praised for its excellent engineering, performance, and thoughtful design that balances serious fishing with family comfort. Key features include a spacious cockpit suitable for both activities, a comfortable saloon, a well-appointed two-cabin, two-bathroom interior, and efficient twin Volvo Penta IPS drives for enhanced maneuverability and fuel economy. The boat's strong hull and design make it a stable and dry ride in offshore conditions.

Performance and handling

The Volvo Penta IPS 600 drives provide excellent performance and fuel efficiency, along with easy docking and maneuverability, especially with the joystick controls. The boat is a capable offshore performer, with a hull that provides a stable, dry ride even in choppy conditions. It is noted for being a "dry trolling boat" due to increased flare and freeboard up front.

Fishing and cockpit

The large, spacious cockpit features a euro awning for shade and can be configured for fishing or entertaining. Fishing amenities include subfloor fishboxes with macerators, a tackle and bait-prep centre, and options like a livebait well. High gunwales and a wide beam provide a stable fishing platform, with plenty of space to move around, even with multiple people fighting fish.

Accommodation and interior

The boat features two cabins and two bathrooms, appealing to both families and groups. The forward cabin is the owner's retreat, with a double island bed and ample storage. The aft cabin is full-width and can be configured to sleep multiple people, offering a versatile sleeping arrangement. A full-beam saloon includes a large lounge, a galley with a convection microwave and cooktop, and is designed for a spacious, open-plan feel.

Technology and engineering

The vessel utilizes a CANbus digital electrical switching system and comes with advanced electronics such as Raymarine screens, autopilot, and radar. It has a generator, allowing for on-board power when the engines are turned off.
