Classic Italian design meets reliable modern performance in this 1979 Riva Bravo 38. Measuring 11.68 meters in length with a 3.85-meter beam, this motor boat has been carefully maintained and upgraded. The standout feature is the installation of twin 370hp Cummins engines, which have recorded only 153 operating hours. To enhance onboard comfort, the exhaust systems have been modified to vent underwater, effectively eliminating smoke issues common to this model.
Attention to detail is evident throughout the vessel. Recent updates include refreshed external upholstery, newly crafted wooden cockpit benches, and refurbished pilot and co-pilot seating, all complete with protective covers. Safety and functionality have been prioritized with replaced navigation lights, new fire extinguishers, and a valid safety certificate. The helm station benefits from recent instrumentation updates, and the addition of a bow thruster simplifies maneuvering in tight marinas.
On the main deck, the cockpit features an additional refrigerator, perfect for extended days on the water. Below deck, the cabin configuration maximizes the 11.68-meter hull, offering two comfortable sofas, a forward double bed with a privacy curtain, a separate bathroom with shower, and a galley equipped with a sink, stove, and refrigerator. The interior upholstery remains in its original condition and is exceptionally well-preserved.
This vessel is ideal for a buyer looking for the heritage of the Riva brand combined with the reliability of low-hour, modern propulsion. With a capacity for up to eight people, it suits both day cruising and weekend getaways. The VAT is paid, and the boat is available for immediate viewing as a central agency listing.
