Manufacturer Provided Description

Wherever you look on the Riviera 42 Flybridge Convertible you'll find the most meticulous attention to detail. It's there in the transom's top mounted cleats that make tying up so much easier. It's there in the quality of the leather upholstery, the finish of the timberwork and the ergonomics of a new style cockpit. This is a boat for the entertainer, for those who love to set sail with family and friends. Dine al fresco on a generously proportioned deck, cook up a feast in a surprisingly large and superbly equipped galley, relax in a saloon that is as elegant as it is spacious, watch a show on the large flatscreen TV - it's a standard inclusion, along with the VCR, DVD and CD player.
