2019 Rio Yachts Colorado 56

The 2019 Rio Yachts Colorado 56 is an Italian-built motor yacht that balances sporty performance with comfortable cruising capabilities. Twin Cummins diesel engines producing 1,430 horsepower combined deliver a maximum speed of 28 knots and a cruising speed of 24 knots, while joystick control and a bow thruster provide responsive handling and docking precision. The hull measures 56 feet in length with a 15.25-foot beam, constructed in fiberglass.

The open-plan layout connects interior and exterior spaces through extensive glazing and a retractable sunroof system. Two staterooms and two heads provide overnight accommodation, with a flexible third sleeping option. The helm features dual 17-inch Garmin navigation screens displaying radar, GPS, depth, and engine data, while an Onan 20kW generator supports the air conditioning system, which cools the helm, engine room, and main cabin areas. Miele appliances outfit the galley, and a Fusion audio system with multiple controllers and Samsung televisions throughout create an entertainment platform.

The cockpit showcases teak decking, substantial glazing, and a retractable enclosure that adapts to weather conditions. Hydraulic pod drives with SkyHook technology enhance maneuverability, and an oversized factory swim platform with underwater lighting extends the entertainment space. The foredeck incorporates custom carbon fiber sunshade supports and engineered teak decking along the bow and gunwales.

An Aeromarine tender with a 6-horsepower Yamaha outboard engine is included with custom fold-down transom storage. Recent 2025 maintenance covered engine and generator servicing with new oils, coolants, sacrificial anodes, filters, and impellers; generator and engine battery chargers were replaced; and generator batteries were renewed.
