This is a vessel that delivers genuine offshore capability, refined living spaces, and the unmistakable pedigree of Australia's leading luxury yacht builder.

The 1998-2002 Riviera Series II design was built around comfort, stability and broader market appeal. The lines are softer, more rounded and more "Euro-style". The flybridge is larger, more enclosed and more family-friendly. The saloon has larger windows with more natural light. The overall vessel length is 48 feet so there is more volume, more comfort and importantly has better headroom.

These premium Platinum versions of the Riviera 43s are tightly held and rarely come to market in this condition and with this extensive inventory.

These boats were a model developed by Riviera late in the production run with several highlights.

Platinum Edition Highlights:
o Premium high-gloss timber cabinetry throughout
o Upgraded luxury soft furnishings and interior fabrics
o Enhanced galley appliances and benchtop finishes
o Premium seating and upgraded upholstery
o Polished stainless-steel fittings replacing standard alloy
o Enhanced electronics package and upgraded genset
o Distinctive Platinum styling accents and badging
o Teak cockpit inserts and upgraded exterior trim
