The 2000 Riviera 48 Enclosed Bridge is a formidable bluewater cruiser that continues to set the benchmark for offshore performance and liveaboard luxury. Stretching 16.47 metres and powered by a pair of legendary Caterpillar 3196 engines delivering 660hp each at 2300rpm through ZF311A transmissions, this vessel commands a cruising range of 18–24 knots with a top speed of 28–29 knots — effortlessly covering serious offshore miles with confidence. Twin stainless steel shaft drives with 27"x33" four-blade bronze propellers ensure purposeful, reliable thrust.
The electronics suite is centred on three Raymarine Hybrid-Touch 12" multifunction displays delivering chart plotting, fish finding, and radar coverage, complemented by Raymarine autopilot, AIS, and three VHF radios — a fully capable offshore navigation package. Accommodation is exceptional across three private cabins: an owner's stateroom with ensuite to starboard, a VIP double cabin with ensuite forward, and a twin bunk cabin to port. The vessel is well-equipped for extended cruising with a Thor washer/dryer, cray winch, high-volume 230V washdown, MasterVolt MPPT solar system with 480W panels, and fresh house batteries installed August 2025.
Critically, engines were serviced February 2025, the genset in September 2025, and antifoul and Prop Speed applied August 2025 — this Riviera is ready for immediate offshore adventure. Located at Westhaven Marina, Auckland. Offered at NZD $549,000.
