Riviera 78 Motor Yacht Enclosed Bridge Deck -Ultimate owner-operated offshore-capable cruising

This Riviera 78 owner is listening to all serious offers!

The Riviera 78 is the flagship of Riviera Australia and for good reason, but this one is truly special for all the love and experience that went into the fitout and finishes, options and design. Marine Riley has known this boat from her first time in her home in Asia and visited her many times since. We viewed her out of the water during her maintenance period recently and she looked as good as new, having been in the custody loving owners and cared for by an experienced and professional crew.

She is now ready for a new owner to cruise her in the magical water wonderland where she currently resides or we can have her back in Australia or anywhere else in the world within weeks.

She has all the options you could ever require, has had all the bugs ironed out and has great tender as well. You can cruise for a day or several months in absolute comfort and luxury and purchase her with a huge saving on a new one.

Our team is ready to fly now, to manage the purchase process, from surveys, sea trials and engine tests to completing all the paperwork, transfers of registration and insurance. Just give us a call and we will complete everything required with absolute professionalism and a lifetime of experience.
All you have to do is decide to cruise her in her current paradise or have us deliver her to any destination you request...

Please call me directly on Call Now 7 (Sydney, Australia) and let's discuss your offer and how she can be yours!
