Riviera 39 Flybridge


1994 Riviera 39 Flybridge - Extensively Refit, Turn-Key Game Fishing Weapon

Location: Port Douglas
Price: $320,000
Vessel Type: Flybridge Cruiser / Game Fishing Boat
Length: 39 ft

Overview

This 1994 Riviera 39 Flybridge has undergone a comprehensive refit over the past 3-4 years, transforming it into a reliable, modernised, offshore-ready sportfishing platform with serious attention to detail.

If you're chasing a heavy tackle, big game fishing boat that's already had the hard (and expensive) work done--this is it. No shortcuts, no deferred maintenance--just a well-sorted, highly capable vessel ready to fish or cruise immediately.


Major Refits & Structural Upgrades

This boat has had extensive hull, systems, and structural work completed, giving peace of mind for offshore use:

* Full bottom blast, osmosis treatment, repaint & antifoul
* All new skin fittings + removal of redundant through-hulls/transducers
* Windows & windscreens removed and resealed
* Port holes fibreglassed over for strength & leak prevention
* Gunwale holes repaired, resealed and re-drilled properly
* All new hoses, rubber and plumbing throughout
* Skeg & cutlass bearings checked (last year)
* Dripless prop shaft seals installed


Electrical & Power System - Completely Upgraded

A huge investment has gone into modernising the electrical system:

* 3x start batteries + 2x house batteries (new)
* New battery box (house bank)
* 3000W inverter
* New solar controller
* Full rewire of earthing system
* All new 12V lighting throughout
* 240V cockpit flood light (mounted to flybridge roof)
* Starlink installed (stay connected offshore)

Electronics & Navigation (Top-Shelf Setup)

* 2x Raymarine 16" Axiom displays
* 1kW transducer
* 3D, side scan & down scan sonar
* Autopilot with new rudder angle sensor
* High-powered search light (aircraft landing light upgrade)


Comfort & Interior - Fully Refreshed

* Full new upholstery (walls & roof lining throughout)
* Re-upholstered couch
* New floor coverings
* Helm seat re-trimmed
* New saloon fridge/freezer
* Ice maker installed
* Window tinting + saloon sunscreen
* New air conditioning fan motors

Pumps, Plumbing & Systems (All Done)

* New freshwater pump
* New saltwater deck wash pump
* New aircon saltwater pump
* New bilge pumps (engine room, cockpit, shower sump)
* New toilet hoses
* New cockpit tap


Deck, Anchoring & External

* New anchor, chain & winch
* New winch controller
* Custom cockpit ladder
* New teak to hatches
* New cabin hatches
* Bedroom hatches glassed over (clean + watertight finish)


Serious Fishing Setup - Built for Big Game

This boat is purpose-built for heavy tackle:

* 130lb fighting chair installed
* Rod holders reinforced for heavy tackle (130lb gear)
* Large cockpit with excellent fishability
* 3x Aqualuma underwater lights (white/blue)


Engines & Generator

* Full saltwater service completed on both engines
* New injectors (port engine)
* Valve set/tune-ups on both engines
* Generator fully serviced with new injectors


Why This Boat Stands Out

You'll struggle to find another Riviera 39 with this level of work done:

Massive refit investment already completed
Structurally sorted (osmosis, fittings, seals)
Modern electronics & offshore capability
Fully set up for serious big game fishing
Turn-key - nothing left to spend


Inspection

The boat is berthed in Port Douglas and is available for inspection by appointment.

Serious buyers only--this is not your average Riviera.
