Riva 43 TROPICANA used

Designed by the renowned architect Barilani, the Riva 43 Tropicana remains one of the most distinctive vessels produced by the iconic Italian yard, with only 50 units manufactured between 1989 and 1997. This specific 1990 model stands out for its exceptional state of preservation, maintaining the aggressive profile and refined elegance that define the brand. With a length of 13.18 meters and a beam of 3.88 meters, it offers a sophisticated balance of performance and comfort. Technical excellence is at the forefront of this listing. The engines were professionally removed, fully overhauled, and brought to zero hours in 2021, ensuring reliable performance. Capable of a cruising speed of 28 knots and a maximum speed of 35 knots, the hull—derived from the successful Riva Bravo 38—provides stable and responsive handling in various conditions. The interior layout is thoughtfully arranged for comfortable stays. Below deck, the accommodation includes a master cabin with a double bed, a separate bathroom with a toilet and shower, and a dinette area that converts into an additional double bed. A fully equipped kitchen area supports longer outings, while the fiberglass construction provides a durable and easy-to-maintain structure. Outdoor living is prioritized on the deck, which features a dedicated pilot station and a passenger seat. The social spaces include a wet bar with a sink and refrigerator, complemented by a U-shaped sofa with an electrically lowering table that converts into a spacious aft sunpad. A forward sunpad provides extra space for relaxation, making the layout ideal for those who appreciate classic Italian aesthetics combined with functional exterior design.
