Riviera 45 Open Flybridge – Perfect for Fishing or Cruising
The Riviera 45 Open Flybridge can be outfitted for family cruising, serious fishing, or both. Like the 43 Open Flybridge, this yacht features three levels of living space, but comes with an additional stateroom for a total of three staterooms and two designer bathrooms.
In addition to three staterooms and two bathrooms, the Riviera 45 Open Flybridge also comes with a large boarding platform with inbuilt swim ladder, large cockpit with an LED TV for entertaining or fishing, an optional BBQ centre and wet bar, wide side decks, and a rear glass bulkhead that transforms the cockpit and saloon into one extended entertaining space. Choose to carry a tender on the foredeck or turn the foredeck into a sun pad for even more entertaining space. All Riviera yachts also come with premium leather, stainless steel, and timber finishes, along with the best brands in audio and video equipment, windows, appliances, upholstery, blinds, and air control systems.
An exterior flybridge stair ladder ascends to a bright, airy, open flybridge with a hardtop, regular lounge, L-shaped all-weather forward lounge, wet bar, hatch, and spacious helm with twin chairs and the latest in navigation and communication systems.
In the fully equipped galley, there is generous counter space and storage, including a cocktail cabinet, and an oven, cooktop, exhaust fan, drawer refrigeration and freezer. As for accommodations, the forward master stateroom features an island bed and many storage options, including cedar-lined robes. Two additional guest staterooms offer twin adult-sized single beds. (The port stateroom beds can be converted to a double.) Two designer bathrooms onboard the Riviera 45 Open Flybridge come with vanities, raised porcelain bowls, mirrors, bench tops, lighting and glass shower recesses. A combination washer/dryer laundry unit is also onboard.
The Riviera 45 Open Flybridge comes with standard power twin shaft drive Volvo Penta D8 common-rail fuel injection engines or optional CAT C8.7 Shaft drive engines. A Volvo Penta joystick, located at the main helm, is integrated with the bow thruster and makes docking easy. Navigation is made simple as well with the Volvo Penta glass cockpit with the world’s most advanced touchscreen navigation system.
The Riviera Open Flybridge models are incredibly easy to operate and brilliantly well-designed. Both the 43 and the 45 combine powerful performance and ease of operation with exceptional fuel economy. All Riviera yachts also come with premium leather, stainless steel, and timber finishes, along with the best brands in audio and video equipment, windows, appliances, upholstery, blinds, and air control systems.
