The 1991 Jefferson Rivanna is a 48-foot motor yacht built around comfortable, practical cruising. Twin Cummins 300 hp diesel engines power the boat, supported by a Northern Lights 8kw generator, Magnum inverter, and bow thruster. The fiberglass hull delivers the steady, confident ride characteristic of Jefferson's semi-displacement design, handling well at trawler speeds with the ability to cruise faster when needed.
The layout centers on an open, light-filled salon with rich wood finishes and large windows, flowing into a galley designed for real provisioning and cooking. The boat includes two cabins—a guest stateroom forward and a master aft with en-suite head—plus two full heads. A spacious flybridge offers good sightlines and seating, while the aft deck provides a separate outdoor living area accessed directly from the salon.
Recent updates include new carpeting, upgraded countertops, a new induction cooktop, and service completed in July 2025. The boat is equipped with a hard top featuring a full aft sundeck enclosure, bridge enclosure, and Bimini with stainless frame. Additional systems include an Espar forced air diesel furnace, washer/dryer, Garmin electronics, a crane davit system, and a Zodiac tender with electric outboard.
