Riviera Convertibles are held in high regard for their roomy layouts, sound construction techniques and eye appeal. The 51 reinforces that reputation for quality and toughness while setting a standard for sport-fishing boats not previously associated with Australian manufacturers.
Built on a semi-V hull with moderate beam and a solid fiberglass bottom, the Riviera’s cherry-wood interior is roomy, comfortable, and impressively appointed. The salon and dinette blend easily into a single open space, and the three stateroom two head arrangement with large master and a forward VIP stateroom that is nearly as spacious as the master. A second guest cabin has upper and lower berths.
One of the highlights of the Riviera 51 is her spacious flybridge with its ergonomic helm position, wet bar, and L-shaped lounge with seating for all your guest.
The teak-soled cockpit offers a full array of fishing amenities, and the engine room offers good access to all maintenance points. Additional features include an overhead rod-storage compartment in the salon, washer/dryer, hardtop, forward collision bulkhead, and bow thruster.
“IRON II” was lightly used with two out of the three staterooms never slept in until 2017.
