Professionally maintained, with excellent service records and receipts available for the extensive mechanical, electrical and upgrade work completed.
Meticulous owner, proactively maintained with no expense spared.
If you are looking for a Riviera 4400 Sport Yacht, this is one that deserves serious attention.
This 2009 Riviera 4400 has benefited from an exceptional level of professional maintenance and significant recent investment in its mechanical systems, Volvo electronics, IPS drives, navigation equipment and onboard systems.
At the heart of the boat are twin Volvo Penta IPS 600 diesel engines, with new engine blocks installed by Volvo and only approximately 120 hours of operation since installation.
The Volvo control and electronics systems have also been extensively upgraded in 2026, while the IPS pods have been upgraded, rebuilt and serviced, including seals and associated components.
Combined with Dockmate wireless remote docking, a 16-inch Garmin touchscreen, FLIR thermal imaging, hydraulic swim platform and BRIG tender, this is a highly specified and comprehensively upgraded example of Riviera's sought-after 4400 Sport Yacht.
