The 2016 Riviera 43 Open Flybridge is a fiberglass sport fishery built around a modified V-planning hull with hard chines and lifting strakes. Twin Volvo Penta D6-435D diesel engines producing 430 horsepower each power the boat through IPS pod drives with dynamic positioning. The starboard engine was rebuilt in August 2025 at Hinckley Yachts, while the port engine completed its 1,000-hour service. With pod drives positioned well aft, the design frees up interior space amidships. The boat cruises at 23.5 knots with a fuel capacity of 555 gallons.
Belowdecks, the yacht accommodates six across two staterooms. The forward cabin features an island berth with substantial storage, a full head with shower stall, and cedar-lined hanging locker. The aft cabin spans the full beam with twin beds, a full head with shower, and a washer-dryer combination. The main salon features an L-shaped dinette with solid teak cabinetry, entertainment center, and a well-appointed galley with electric cooktop, combination microwave-oven, two refrigerated drawers, and additional refrigeration in the salon.
The flybridge is accessed via a stair-ladder and offers unobstructed 360-degree sightlines beneath a molded fiberglass hardtop. Swivel helm and companion chairs, an L-shaped lounge seating four, and a wet bar with settee comprise the upper accommodations. Navigation and fish-finding electronics include dual Garmin GPSMAP 7612 displays, 72-mile radar, VHF, AIS, and autopilot. The cockpit is rigged for fishing with two rod holders, tackle center, two insulated fish boxes with clean-out pumps, and Rupp outriggers.
Systems include an 11.5-kilowatt generator, 50-amp shore power with powered cable reel, water maker, 38,000 BTU air conditioning, dual Vacuflush heads with holding tank, and multiple bilge pumps. The deck features a Muir vertical electric windlass with 200 feet of chain, dual air horns, freshwater spigots at cockpit and foredeck, a transom shower, and a fiberglass swim platform with telescoping ladder. The bottom was repainted with new antifouling in August 2025.
