Riviera 43 Offshore Express

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 (435 hp each) 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. The boat can reach a top speed of 32 knots at 3,500 rpm.

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.
