Defined by the signature aesthetic of architect Barilani, the Riva 43 Tropicana remains an iconic design, with only 50 units produced between 1989 and 1997. This 13.18-meter motor yacht utilizes a hull derived from the successful Bravo 38, ensuring a profile that is as aggressive on the water as it is elegant at the dock. With a 3.88-meter beam and a 1.2-meter draft, this fiberglass vessel offers a stable and responsive ride.
Technical performance is a highlight of this specific used boat. The engines were fully removed and overhauled in 2021, effectively bringing them to zero hours of operation. Underway, this cruiser achieves a comfortable cruising speed of 28 knots, with the capability to reach a maximum speed of 35 knots, making it ideal for efficient coastal transit.
Below deck, the layout prioritizes comfort with a master cabin featuring a double bed and a dedicated bathroom equipped with a shower and toilet. The interior also includes a convertible dinette that increases sleeping capacity and a fully equipped galley area.
On deck, the cockpit is designed for socializing and relaxation. It features a piloting station, a passenger seat, and a wet bar complete with a sink and refrigerator. The U-shaped sofa surrounding an electrically adjustable table allows for easy conversion into a spacious aft sunpad, complemented by an additional sunbathing area on the bow.
This vessel is currently available for viewing; further details regarding the history and maintenance records are available upon request.
