2001 Riviera Riviera ConvertibleSold

Step aboard and you’ll notice how much thought went into making this Riviera feel bigger than her length. The galley is positioned so the cook stays in the conversation, with generous counter space and practical storage that actually fits real cookware, not just plastic tumblers. Wide side decks and beefy grab rails make moving forward in a swell feel secure, and the cockpit coamings are just the right height for both fishing and lounging with a drink in hand. The bridge ladder has a comfortable angle, so guests won’t hesitate to climb up for the ride. Underway, her solid build gives a reassuring, quiet ride, even when the chop stacks up.

This Riviera Convertible is tailor-made for waters where conditions can change quickly and runs between anchorages often mean crossing tide lines and wind-against-current chop. The deep forefoot and substantial hull weight help her track straight and land softly, while the enclosed bridge keeps the watch warm and dry during long, cool passages. The two-stateroom layout works beautifully for extended weekends with another couple or a small family exploring coves and island chains. A large cockpit gives space for crab pots, prawns, or a serious trolling spread, yet still leaves room for deck chairs at sunset. Efficient diesels stretch your cruising range, opening up quieter, less-visited anchorages.
