1996 Jefferson Rivanna 52 Cockpit MY Boat in Stuart, FL 34994 US

WALK THROUGH

Your journey begins in the oversized aft cockpit, the hallmark of the Rivanna model. Boarding is effortless via the integrated swim platform and a transom door. This area serves as your "mudroom" at sea—perfect for fishing, diving, or easy line handling. It features steps that lead you up to the protected aft deck, ensuring you never have to climb a vertical ladder to move about. TRAVELLER has a very family friendly deck with tall safety railings, side boarding gates and easy access from stern to bow.  No running through the main salon to reach the aft deck from the bow.

 Aft Deck & Flybridge

Stepping up from the cockpit, you enter the spacious aft deck. This is the main social hub of the boat with comfortable seating and offering 270-degree views. It features a wet bar with a drink cooler, a single stainless steel sink, and granite counter top.  The aft deck has plenty of room for freestanding deck furniture featuring a love seat and two comfortable arm chairs. The perfect place to begin the day with breakfast al fresco and to end the day with cocktails and dinner. Eisinglass adds further comfort on those less than perfect weather days. A free standing freezer helps to take provisions for months of cruising in the Islands.

 A few short steps lead to the Flybridge, where the captain enjoys a centerline helm, guest seating is located to both port and starboard under a high-clearance Bimini top.  This area is also protected with eisinglass. The carpeted deck combined with nearly new upholstery provides a great spot to check out the scenery passing by as you cruise on board TRAVELLER.

Wide side decks with sturdy stainless steel rails lead safely to the bow for anchoring or sunbathing. The foredeck of TRAVELLER is open and easy to navigate while line handling or dropping the hook for a few hours of just chilling.  The electric windlass is controlled via remote switches or deck controls. There are boarding gates located mid ship on both port and starboard side.

The Main Saloon

Moving forward and down from the aft deck, you enter the Main Saloon. Thanks to the 16' beam, the interior space is most impressive. TRAVELLER has an amazing amount of natural light from large cabin windows located both to port, starboard and as well as forward. The saloon features rich teak joinery (a Jefferson signature). To port there is a  L-shaped settee, and across to starboard there is a mid level galley with a breakfast bar and three free standing chairs. The galley has 2 new stainless steel refrigeraters,  which each consume 1 amp per hour when you are on the LITHIUM battery bank. A 2 burner cooktop combined with microwave, Advantium oven, dual stainless steel sinks, granite counter tops and abundant storage will make any sea going chef a very happy camper. Especially as the chef is still a part of the action and is not isolated from family and friends. For additional entertainment, there is an stereo system with Bose speakers and a flat screen TV.

The lower helm station is located forward to starboard, allowing the captain to operate in total comfort during inclement weather.

TRAVELLER is an exceptional value on today's market.  Her hullsides gleam due to being Awl Gripped, her engine room just painted and detailed (March 2026), her interior teak woodwork show cases the craftsmanship of the shipyard that built her and her soft goods are so pleasant to the eye.  From her teak parquet cabin soles to her large windows, to her overhead one will find TRAVELLER to be in amazing condition. For the past 7 years, TRAVELLER has benefited from from having truly experienced owners (with a combined cruising life style of over 50 years) who are dedicated to safe passage making and comfortable self sufficiency while spending months in the Islands.  She has been professionally stored at least 6 months of each year and is kept in "ready to go" condition with no expense spared. Any seasoned cruisier will appreciate not only her condition but also her tremendous numbers of spares aboard. She truly stands above and beyond any other 52' cockpit motor yacht in her class. It is an honor to represent TRAVELLER on the world wide market place.
