2009 Rivolta Coupe 4.5 Boat in Benicia, CA 94510 US

This Italian-designed, American-built Rivolta 4.5 Coupe offers jet boat and joystick performance, live-aboard level interior accommodations (2 cabins/2 heads!), and classic Downeast lines. She's in immaculate shape with low hours on her desirable twin Cummins engines, plus a laundry list of aftermarket upgrades. Owners and potential owners will appreciate the clever interior layout, the unique open-transom design with swing doors and especially the seamless (single-level) outdoor-to-indoor transition from cockpit to salon via the elegant sliding glass doors. Underway, the 4.5 Coupe easily cruises at 25 knots and tops out around 32 knots. She achieves this efficiently with her quiet Cummins engines, located aft of the interior and underneath the cockpit for minimal noise and vibration inside.

Joystick docking utilizing the jet drive system allows for easy docking, move the boat in any direction desired by the movement of the joystick. The jet drive system also facilitates a smooth, fuel efficient and vibration free ride at very quick cruising speeds.

It would be hard to find a better value out of any competing brands/models, and this boat is a must-see for any buyer considering brands such as Hinckley, Sabre, Back Cove, Hunt, Eastbay or similar.

• Macris Chroma full custom LED lighting package

ACCOMMODATIONS,

SALON AND GALLEY

As you walk through the double sliding glass doors from the cockpit into the salon, you'll find a long settee and convertible table (w/ folding leaf) to port which offers seating for six. To starboard, an equally long galley counter mirrors the settee, and houses a refrigerator, stainless steel sink, Force 10 electric cooktop and microwave. Situated below the countertop is a remote-operated, stow-away 27" flatscreen TV, along with a remote-operated stow-away dish and cutlery rack (see photos).

HELM AND NAV AREA

Just forward of the galley and salon is an impressive bridge area with an immensely comfortable upholstered double helm-seat, user-friendly dash with all controls and instruments, electrical panels, and a clever storage box for items like binoculars, ship's papers etc.

LIVING QUARTERS

Three steps down and forward from the bridge brings you into the forward passageway. To port there is a private guest cabin with large double berth and hanging locker, a small sitting bench, and a skylight which opens into the salon above.

To starboard is a guest head and shower to service that guest cabin and/or for use as a day head.

Further forward is the spacious and well-appointed owner's cabin, with en-suite head. This cabin sports a semi-walk-around queen-sized berth, two hanging lockers, flat screen TV and a separate 'nook' with a flip-top desk, mirror and cabinets. This area could be used as a makeup vanity, or as an office/workspace.

Overhead hatches to the deck and opening port lights provide ample natural light and ventilation throughout.

Both cabins are equipped with integrated Bose speakers, linked to the ship's sound system.

Both heads are equipped with electric push-button toilets and shower curtains which contain the water to the sump area (rather than wetting the sink and the rest of the space).

Each cabin is equipped with individual air conditioning controls, as are the salon and bridge deck areas.

Both cabins are equipped with reading lights, and all overhead lights have been converted to LED bulbs.

HULL AND DECK

HULL CONSTRUCTION

Rivolta Yachts are manufactured in Sarasota, FL, using modern construction methods typically used by ultra-high-end custom builders. The single-piece hull is constructed using vacuum bag techniques to virtually eliminate construction voids and create a mirror-like finish. Foam cored stringers and bulkheads remove unwanted weight and rot potential from traditional wood components. The use of carbon fiber and Kevlar increases the stiffness.

The hull was designed with a modified Deep-Vee which planes easily, cuts through chop and keeps the deck dry. Kevlar is used for added strength.

There is a Sidepower SE11/175 bow thruster installed into a tunnel in the bow for ease of maneuvering.

The use of jet drives permits a clean entry and exit flow for maximum efficiency through the water, as well as providing an extremely shallow draft.

Trim tabs are mounted below the swim platform to assist with bow rise and fuel efficiency.

On top of the bridge deck is an instrument mast that houses the radar, TracVision dome and antennae. Forward of that is an ACR remote controlled spotlight and FLIR Infrared camera for finding that last mooring ball after dusk. Stainless steel grab rails run the length of the deck for added security.

Stepping down onto the foredeck you'll find a substantial anchor locker, chain locker and lazarette for storing fenders, lines, and other gear. Between the locker doors is an electric, flush-mount, stainless steel Lofrans windlass, which handles the Bruce anchor and 120 ft. of chain via foot-bottom controls just a step outboard. The windlass can also be operated remotely from the helm-dash via an electronic control next to the wheel. This offers single-handed anchoring capability.

Oversized stainless steel handrails surround the side decks from cockpit to bow pulpit for added safety.

Fill-tank fittings, cleats, rub rails and all other deck hardware fittings are stainless-steel.

The cockpit offers ample seating for ten, with a removable table, plenty of storage, and an opening transom door which leads to a low-level swim platform with swim ladder. A hot/cold fresh water shower nozzle is provided for rinsing off outdoors.

The cockpit and swim platform are decked in teak, and there is a clever davit system installed on the swim platform to house the dinghy underway.

The cockpit sole is raised via a button-controlled hydraulic ram, which allows excellent access to the engine and mechanical space below (see photos).

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

The boat is serviced via two 110V, 30 amp shore power connections in the cockpit (two separate legs) or from the 7 kW Mase genset, accessed below the salon floorboard.
