1989 Riva 43' Tropicana

This 1989 Riva Tropicana is a 44-foot open cruiser powered by twin Cummins diesel engines delivering 850 horsepower combined. The yacht distinguishes itself through a factory-extended teak bathing platform—a rare feature unique to this hull. Bow thruster with joystick control, trim tabs, and a hydraulic passerelle support confident handling and easy maneuvering.

The exterior layout prioritizes Mediterranean living. Three bow sunbeds, a spacious teak cockpit, and a hydraulic dining table that converts to a sunpad form the social spaces. The cockpit includes blue LED courtesy lighting and underwater lights. A 2024 sunshade awning and full tonneau and canopy covers protect the space. The yacht cruises at 27 knots with a top speed of 31 knots.

Below deck, the interior combines classic Riva woodwork with full soft leather seating across an open-plan saloon. Two hydraulic lift tables include a saloon table that converts to a double berth. The layout provides one owner's cabin with Jack-and-Jill ensuite access and accommodations for multiple guests. CruiseAir air conditioning with reverse-cycle heating maintains comfort year-round.

Recent updates include antifouling completed in July 2025, modern navigation electronics, refreshed audio systems, and a new cockpit refrigerator. The yacht has approximately 600 engine hours and reflects consistent maintenance throughout its ownership.
