Owner Experience Review

Owners and brokers consistently describe the 40 SportfishbyRivieraas a true dual‑purpose platform: relaxed, family‑friendly cruiser and capable offshore sportfish. The interior arrangement supports weekend and extended stays with a full galley, a roomy dinette and salon with air conditioning, and a two‑cabin/one‑head layout; the salon L‑settee can convert to an extra berth. Listings also note home‑like amenities on some boats (dishwasher, washer/dryer), and a protected helm with a flybridge hardtop and full‑enclosure options adds comfort in mixed weather.

On the water, the deep‑V hull is credited with a clean, dry ride in moderate offshore conditions, and handling that “punches above its weight” for this class. Examples with larger fuel capacities have proven comfortable for extended runs, while the cockpit is set up for serious fishing with a livewell, in‑deck fish box, rigging station, freezer, and provisions for outriggers and a fighting chair.

Maintenance feedback varies with engine choice—common packages include Caterpillar 3126B, Cummins 6CTA, and Volvo TAMD—and owners note different service requirements and costs accordingly. One Cummins‑powered owner reports doing much of his own routine work, and a magazine test highlighted the clever (if initially puzzling) engine‑room access via a lever that lets the bait station swing aside. Brokerage records frequently cite major 1,000‑hour services and generator work, so budgeting for twin‑diesel and genset upkeep is part of responsible ownership.

Pros and Cons

• Versatile design that doubles as a family cruiser and a capable offshore sportfish.
• Deep‑V hull delivers a smooth, dry ride with confident offshore manners for its size.
• Two‑cabin layout, full galley, A/C, and a convertible salon settee suit extended family stays.
• Twin diesels and generator entail significant periodic service, including typical 1,000‑hour work.
• Engine‑room access via the bait‑station mechanism can be non‑obvious the first time you use it.
• Outriggers and a fighting chair are often options, so full tournament outfitting may require upgrades.
