Offered for sale for the first time since delivery in 2015, this superbly presented Riviera 50 Enclosed Flybridge, build number 21, is a highly regarded model celebrated for its balance of offshore capability, family comfort, and refined finish. This particular example has been thoughtfully upgraded, meticulously maintained, and clearly enjoyed as intended.
Powered by upgraded Volvo Penta IPS 950 engines with IPS2 drives and Dynamic Positioning system, the boat delivers confident, effortless performance, cruising comfortably at 22-24 knots while still capable of 30 knots plus when required. With approximately 740 main engine hours, annual mechanical servicing completed in October 2025 (Cooling system included) antifouling, Propspeed and hull polish, the topsides were polished in January 2026, ensuring she presents as well as she performs.
Designed with extended cruising in mind, she is equipped with a 150lph HRO watermaker, hydraulic swim platform, and a 350kg Davco crane on the foredeck with dedicated cradles for both a jet ski and tender. Storage is a clear strength, extending from the transom storage and barbecue module through to optional lockable side pockets, a substantial subfloor lazarette-style area, and a dedicated side fish bin with Gulper pump.
The cockpit is a welcoming and highly functional entertaining space, enhanced by an extended awning, seamless connection to the aft galley, and Riviera's trademark attention to flow and usability. The aft galley is exceptionally well appointed, offering abundant fridge and freezer drawers, generous cooking amenities, and excellent storage -- ideal for liveaboard cruising or extended stays away. A family-sized dinette, plush lounges, and the rear opening awning window create an inviting saloon environment, complemented by optional teak decks, satin oak joinery, and an internal lounge with pull-out table. Modern conveniences include C-Zone digital switching (currently being upgraded to the latest Touch10 screen), smart airconditioning controls, ample 240V outlets, and a discreetly integrated Miele washer/dryer.
The 'Cruising' helm provides excellent visibility and a commanding driving position, featuring upgraded Navigator helm chairs, a larger Volvo Penta LCD engine display, C-Zone monitoring panel (also included in the C-Zone upgrade), and a comprehensive Raymarine E-Series navigation suite including radar and FLIR. Helm airconditioning further enhances comfort on longer passages.
Accommodation is arranged across three comfortable cabins. The port side master stateroom features an island double bed and private ensuite, the starboard aft cabin offers twin adult-length singles, the flybridge lounge also converts to a double and the forward VIP boasts an island queen with direct access to the second bathroom, which also serves as an ensuite. All cabins enjoy substantial hull windows, opening portlights or hatches, excellent storage, and considered floor space, making extended stays aboard both comfortable and enjoyable.
This Riviera 50 has been extensively enjoyed by her current owners, who regularly cruise to the Abrolohos Islands and spend extended periods living aboard in Quindalup during the summer months. Now offered for sale as they step into a larger Riviera, "Drought Proof II" presents a rare opportunity to secure a highly specified, well-maintained example of this ever-popular model.
