1986 Riviera Flybridge Cruiser Fully Refitted Australian Classic Turn-Key Condition

Luxury Boat Sales QLD is proud to present this exceptional 1986 Riviera Flybridge Cruiser a true icon of Australian boat building, renowned for its solid construction, offshore capability, and timeless design.

This particular vessel stands out as a rare example, having undergone a comprehensive refit approximately 9 years ago, with a clear focus on quality, usability, and long-term ownership. It presents in outstanding condition throughout and offers a level of finish well above others in its class.

The hull and superstructure have been professionally refinished in 2-pack, delivering a sharp, modern appearance while maintaining the vessel's timeless Riviera lines. Below the waterline, the antifoul has been completely sandblasted and reapplied from fresh, while internal hull areas have been finished in Flowcoat for a clean, high-quality presentation.
