RIVIERA 47 2004 FOR SALE

Some yachts convey luxury through their finishes, while others do so through the confidence they inspire when sea conditions are no longer perfect. This 2004 Riviera 47 clearly belongs to the latter group. Built by one of Australia's best-known yards, she combines solidity, substantial autonomy, an enclosed flybridge and a layout conceived both for long family passages and serious sport fishing.

This particular boat takes that versatility especially far: twin Caterpillar C12 engines producing 710 hp each, Onan generator, bow and stern thrusters, auxiliary cockpit controls, professional Furuno and Simrad electronics, large tank capacities, three cabins and an exceptionally complete interior equipment list. She is a yacht for someone who wants to head to sea with confidence, remain aboard for several days and at the same time have a genuinely prepared fishing platform.

About this Riviera 47

Built in 2004, this Riviera 47 is an Australian flybridge yacht conceived around a very clear philosophy: robust structure, good fuel and water capacities, accessible engine room and a layout capable of serving both cruising and sport fishing.

The boat is powered by two Caterpillar C12 engines producing 710 hp each, with approximately 1,600 hours, shaft drives and a combined output of 1,420 hp. She also has an Onan generator, bow and stern thrusters with combined control, a remotely controlled windlass and auxiliary cockpit controls to make mooring and fishing manoeuvres easier.

On board there are three cabins, sleeping accommodation for up to eight people, large tanks, climate control, a fully equipped galley, professional electronics and extensive exterior equipment. The enclosed flybridge also adds protection and comfort during long passages or less favourable conditions.

Why this boat stands out

What makes this Riviera 47 especially interesting is her ability to fulfil two programmes that do not always coexist successfully in the same boat. On one hand she offers three cabins, climate control, a complete galley and substantial autonomy for family cruising; on the other, she includes a professional fishfinder, cockpit controls, outriggers and a deck prepared for serious sport fishing.

The Caterpillar C12 engines, shaft drives, Onan generator and bow and stern thrusters provide a mechanical foundation especially consistent with her philosophy. It is precisely that Australian robustness combined with very extensive equipment that distinguishes this boat from European flybridge yachts of a similar age.

Fontnautic opinion

For Fontnautic, the Riviera 47 is especially attractive for anyone who values a yacht built for real conditions rather than simply to look good at the berth. Riviera's Australian origins are evident in the practical approach, flybridge protection and importance given to autonomy and the engine room.

We particularly like this boat for the combination of Caterpillar C12 power, professional electronics, bow and stern thrusters and an interior configuration comfortable enough for long trips.

For anyone looking for a robust flybridge yacht prepared for cruising with genuine sport-fishing capability, we believe this is an especially complete proposition.
