Engine and vessel data are presented via a Volvo Penta screen, integrated through an N2K network cable to the MFDs to display on all three main displays, and thoughtful touches such as two cupholders complete this refined command station.

Aft deck & cockpit

Purposeful design meets refined comfort on the aft deck, where the cockpit floor is reinforced with an alloy plate to accept a future game chair or table and where a double-action manual bilge pump serves the engine room. Engine room access is via a lift-up cockpit floor on an electric actuator, with convenient day access through a hatch supported by a gas strut. Thoughtful movement around the boat is ensured by grab rails aiding access to the side decks and by steps to the side decks to port and starboard. Storage is abundant, with GRP locker doors complete with stainless catches and a dual-purpose box locker set in the starboard forward corner that houses a rubbish bin and two PVC containers, with the bin and containers not to be used simultaneously. In the cockpit floor, one GRP-insulated storage bin features pump-out and gas struts, while a waterproof GPO is fitted within the cockpit locker. Practical amenities include a sink with a lid and a hot and cold tap, and a handheld fresh-water shower with hot and cold supply, complemented by wash-down outlets for both freshwater and seawater. The cockpit is self-draining to a stern outlet, and hardware details are seamanlike, with hawse holes at the rear cockpit coaming corners with open backs and a GRP transom/tuna door that opens outwards with an attached bridge. Illumination is confident and efficient with DC LED flood, overhead and courtesy lighting. The mezzanine invites relaxation with an aft-facing seat upholstered in white vinyl and a teak-laid mezzanine step, and it conceals a top-loading refrigerated cool box within the seating. The rear saloon is framed by a sliding door in tinted tempered glass with a stainless frame, paired with a rear saloon window in tinted tempered glass that opens upwards.

Swim step

The swim step features a drop-down swim ladder to starboard for effortless access to the water, custom illuminated nameplates that cast a distinctive glow after dusk, and an aft starboard boarding door that doubles as a tuna door, combining convenient embarkation with practical angling functionality.

Engine room

Meticulously engineered for performance and serviceability, the engine room features a Cummins Onan 17.5 kW diesel generator supported by a Racor primary fuel filtration system, with electronic fuel management and engine monitoring ensuring precise oversight. Maintenance is effortless with easily accessible fuel filters and service points, while a fuel sight tube provides clear, at-a-glance readings. Cruising autonomy is enhanced by a water maker with inline filters, and onboard comfort is elevated by a Sea Keeper. Practicality abounds with port and starboard shore cord buckets and reels, dedicated fishing rod storage, main engine and house bank batteries, and a thoughtfully arranged tool box area. Propulsion is commanded by the Volvo Penta IPS600 pod drive propulsion system integrated with Volvo Penta Electronic Vessel Control (EVC), delivering joystick docking with independent pod steering for exceptional low-speed maneuverability, electronic throttle and shift controls, and counter-rotating DuoProp propellers. An integrated exhaust through the IPS drive system reduces noise and vibration, complemented by a hydraulic steering system and comprehensive engine room acoustic insulation for quieter operation underway and at anchor.

Construction

Crafted on a hand-laid solid fiberglass hull below the waterline for maximum strength and impact resistance, this yacht is fortified with a vinylester resin barrier coat in the outer laminate to enhance osmotic blister protection. A composite-cored deck and superstructure reduce weight while increasing rigidity, while a structural fiberglass stringer grid, bonded directly to the hull, delivers exceptional strength and stiffness. The molded fiberglass engine room carries a durable white gelcoat finish for longevity and ease of maintenance, complemented by high-gloss handcrafted timber interior joinery throughout. On deck, 316-grade polished stainless steel hardware teams with heavy-duty stainless steel bow rails and grab rails, all through-bolted with reinforced backing plates, and the heavy-duty hull-to-deck joint is both mechanically fastened and chemically bonded for enduring integrity. Protection at the sheer comes from a UV-resistant white PVC rub rail with a polished stainless steel insert, and tempered bonded safety glass is fitted throughout the salon and enclosed flybridge. Molded non-skid fiberglass decks and side walkways ensure secure footing, and the yacht is engineered for offshore cruising with Riviera’s deep-V hull design, delivering a soft, dry, and stable ride across a wide range of sea conditions.

Deck & hull

At the bow, a 36 kg (80 lb) plow anchor rides on a stainless steel self-launching bow roller integrated into the bowsprit, partnered with 230 ft (70 m) of 10 mm (3/8 inch) galvanized anchor chain that is secured by a stainless steel anchor chain stopper and an anchor safety strap for confident operation underway. Anchoring is effortless with a heavy-duty vertical electric anchor windlass with overload protection, controlled from helm-mounted remote anchor controls and complemented by deck-mounted up/down switches. A stainless steel chain chafe plate is fitted to the bowsprit, while the anchor locker features a dedicated rope/chain divider and is reached via a convenient deck access hatch. Within the locker, both a freshwater washdown system with hose and a seawater washdown system keep ground tackle clean and ready.

Deck hardware

The deck is appointed with nine polished 13-inch stainless steel mooring cleats, complemented by two pop-up stainless steel fender cleats set within the cockpit coaming and four stainless steel fender holders mounted on the bow rail. Highly polished 316 stainless steel bow rails with a mid-level safety wire provide secure passage, while stainless steel side rails above the salon windows further ensure safe access to the foredeck. An integrated flagstaff and bow burgee add a classic touch, and the white UV-resistant PVC rub rail with a polished stainless steel insert safeguards the hull with enduring brilliance.

Water & waste systems

A robust 198-gallon freshwater tank is positioned midships, feeding a comprehensive water filtration system with inline filters to ensure pristine supply. Waste management is equally refined, with two inline waste-tank venting filters supporting a 72-gallon waste tank located aft on the port side within the engine room. At a touch, waste and water levels are clearly presented on the C-Zone screens for effortless monitoring. For complete self-sufficiency, an Aqua Matic Sea Recovery watermaker delivers abundant fresh water on demand.

Electrical equipment

Engineered for seamless reliability, the yacht’s electrical suite features a robust shore power system with integrated battery chargers to keep reserves optimized whether alongside or underway. An intelligent inverter system supports selected onboard appliances and the entertainment systems without relying on the generator, while comprehensive AC/DC electrical distribution panels provide organized, fingertip control across the vessel. Energy-efficient LED lighting illuminates every interior and exterior space with cool-running brilliance, and a dedicated bonding system with galvanic protection safeguards underwater metals and critical circuits. For effortless tender operations, an electric/hydraulic davit delivers confident lifting and launching capability.

Mechanical equipment

A hydraulic lifting cockpit sole grants exceptional access to the engine room, complemented by full stand-up service access around the engines. Safety is assured with an automatic fire suppression system, automatic and manual bilge pumps, and a high-water alarm system, while efficient operation is supported by engine room ventilation blowers, battery isolation switches for confident power management, and dedicated service lighting that illuminates every task.

Safety & navigation

Prepared for bluewater confidence, the yacht is equipped with an EPIRB, comprehensive USCG safety equipment, and twelve USCG lifejackets, combining proven technology and mandated protection to ensure readiness and peace of mind underway.

Tender & toys

A Highfield tender powered by a 30 HP Tohatsu outboard stands ready to whisk guests ashore and elevate every waterside adventure with reliable performance and effortless handling.

Upgrades

This yacht is comprehensively enhanced with a SeaKeeper 9, an Aqua-matic watermaker, and three Raymarine Axiom XL-16 displays that command the helm with clarity and control. Nighttime confidence is assured by a FLIR night-vision camera, while precision handling is refined through a Humphree trim-tab controller and a Raymarine auto-pilot. Practical deck operations benefit from rope winches positioned at the stern cleats, and situational awareness is further elevated by an on-board camera system.
