Riviera 38 Open Flybridge

TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS OPPORTUNITY TO PURCHASE A FANTASTIC RIVIERA

The Riviera 38 Open Flybridge is the perfect mix of style, comfort, and performance, built for those who love the water.
'Investigator' is a great example of the 2009 Riviera 38 and not only comes with all the extras that the Riviera brand is well known for but it also performs with "poise and verve". This is one that would equally suit the avid fisherman as well as the family wanting to relax on the water.

From the moment you step aboard, you can feel the quality and attention to detail that Riviera is known for. The walk-on teak swim-deck/boarding platform, with a stainless steel swim ladder and bait board, leads through a transom door, to the rear deck which is also teak, and has plenty of storage under foot and along the port and starboard sides. Here you will find a live bait tank, plumbed kill-bin with a Gulper pump, deck wash and a plumbed sink. Behind the sink and leading down 3 steps you will find the easy-to-access immaculate engine room which houses the 2 Volvo Penta 370hp engines, Cummins Onan Marine Generator and Victron battery charger system.

Back on deck and up 1 step into a lovely well-maintained uncluttered saloon and seating area with timber laminate flooring, soft off-white leather panelling on the walls and ceiling accentuated by pieces of polished timber throughout. The 'L' shaped lounge can comfortably seat up to 6, and can also be electronically activated to fold down into an extra bed. To starboard is a well positioned dinette with plenty of storage under the seats, also starboard is a Vitrifrigo Ice Maker within the bar cabinent for those long fishing trips or just for the casual sun downers.

A few steps down is the galley portside, which also features the high polished timber fitout, and includes a Vitrifrigo fridge/freezer, a deep stainless steel sink with hot and cold water, a Fisher and Paykel 2 burner electric stove top with fiddles. The galley is very user-friendly with plenty of storage and bench space. There is also an intercom for communication between the galley and flybridge helm.

Leading down a couple more carpeted steps are the sleeping cabins. To starboard is a two-berth cabin with a set of single bunks; would easily accommodate two adults or youngsters, and has generous space and storage. In the bow is the well appointed V berth, a double main bedroom with beautiful timber finish and carpet under foot. This master cabin offers the luxury one would expect in a Riviera, along with an abundance of space and storage. Portside is a spacious bathroom with an electric toilet, hot and cold separate shower and basin, again with lots of storage. The entry to the bathroom is both from the passageway opposite the starboard cabin, as well as a seperate access from the master cabin.

From the aft deck you access the flybridge helm via a S/S ladder. This a very spacious area with a well appointed navigation system with great forward viewing. It includes 2 Raymarine Hybridtouch sounder/GPS, Raymarine Autohelm and Icom VHF. There is dual seating for the helm (skippers seat and anglers seat) with additional seating for 4, the off-white leather is in very good condition. The flybridge helm is enclosed with near new clears.

'Investigator' is a complete walk-around, with wide sides and a spacious foredeck, plenty of space for enjoying the sun, sea and views.
Housed on the bow is an inflatable rib in excellent condition with covers, powered by a 9.9hp Mercury outboard, and a Davco Winch to make life easier getting it on and off.

'Investigator' offers an unique combination of offshore capability and refined luxury. Ideal for those seeking a versatile, home-like yacht for coastal cruises and extended stays.
Last antifouled in December 2024, there is nothing left to do but to hop onboard and cruise to your favourite fishing spot or anchor in an idyllic bay.
