http://boatadvice.com.au/riviera-43-f... - Read the boat review here. In this video review, journalist Tony Crawford from boatadvice.com.au heads out on the new Riviera 43, an open flybridge cruiser popular with Australian buyers and designed purposefully for the IPS drives and docking system. With over 45 boats already sold in this design, Australian company, Riviera continue to build on their decades of boat building experience with innovative designs and wide consumer appeal. Sydney Harbour is an iconic waterway and the ideal testing ground for this boat and R marine’s Mike Joyce guides us through the 43 including its expansive cockpit and elegant interior. The twin Volvo Penta IPS 600 engines are beneath the rear cockpit and are hidden by a hydraulic lifting floor. Tony especially appreciate the exterior space capable of 12-14 people and includes an outdoor barbeque area. Inside, the spacious cabin and single level design of the galley/breakfast bar and lounge area will be a boon for new buyers more used to the downstairs location previously common on cruisers in this class. Tony describes this boat as the home you have when you’re on the water and haven’t really left home. The Riviera 43 Open Flybridge is a classy Australian built boat that has high appeal to Australian buyers with its open plan design, thoughtful construction and quality build. It is capable of sleeping up to five onboard and is ideal for families with kids who also entertain guests. Boatadvice love the IPS docking system which makes the boat very easy to handle by switching control to a joystick, making docking, berthing and small space manoeuvring worries a thing of the past. This boat review certainly impressed and the Riviera 43 Open Flybridge is perfect for anyone looking for practicality and luxury.
