Imported from the US by her current owners in 2012, this Riviera 56 is a really good example of this popular model. She has been regularly maintained and presents beautifully, with an engine room that's a real standout.
Powered by the larger Caterpillar C32 engine option, she has plenty of horsepower when you need it. She cruises smoothly at 20 knots and has reached 38 knots at wide open throttle.
If you enjoy cooking, the galley is a real highlight. Set at the rear of the saloon, it features a hopper window that opens out to create a servery, so the chef can stay connected with guests in the upper cockpit lounge and on the rear deck. Corian benchtops give you plenty of room for food prep. Built in below the benchtop are two fridges, a freezer, a convection microwave oven, and a dishwasher. Practical Amtico-style flooring keeps things low maintenance and easy to clean.
The saloon has both dining and lounge areas, with two digital TVs so you can watch the footy from either side. Large windows let in plenty of natural light and give you great views from inside.
Opposite the galley, an internal staircase gives you safe, easy access to the flybridge wheelhouse. This flexible space is not just the command centre for the vessel, with a full suite of Raymarine electronics and a rear docking station, but also a great spot to relax and entertain. With its own wet bar, TV, and dining table, it could easily serve as a self-contained fourth cabin or a private retreat.
For a large family, the 56 is a great fit. Three cabins, including two with ensuites, provide luxurious accommodation. Two island double berths are ideal for adults, while the third cabin features generous L-shaped single bunks that kids will love.
The rear deck is substantial and finished in Riviera's traditional solid teak. Hatches open to reveal expansive storage spaces. This later-model 56 also includes the raised seating area, with access to the engine room under one seat and a large chest-style fridge freezer below the other.
There are two BBQs, one on the swimboard and the other neatly hidden in the transom.
A Caribe rigid inflatable tender with a 60HP engine sits neatly on the foredeck and can be launched and retrieved with ease using the hydraulic davit.
A prime berth at Aquarama Marina can also be offered to approved purchasers, along with access to a Rottnest Thomson Bay mooring if required.
