Owner wants sold now. Call for more information! Riviera Flybridge models have reached almost legendary status in the boating world and the 51 has been one of stars of the award winning fleet.
Kokomo is an outstanding example of intelligent design and quality construction, featuring dozens of refinements over previous models.

Riviera operates one of Australia's most advanced robotic varnishing facilities which means the finish of the woodwork is of the most impeccable quality. And all of this is on top of a myriad of smart and convenient pre-existing features - such in-floor safety lights and a standard bowthruster. The hydrodynamics of the hull that so appealed to purchasers of the 51 is as impressive as ever. The ride is smooth, stable and dry, handling is superb, and if it is exhilaration you are looking for then the wide range of diesel engine options certainly deliver.
