43 Open Flybridge

Take-in a peerless view from the top, fishing or blue-water cruising, in a classic Riviera flybridge design offering you fine ‘easy living’ lifestyle, over three levels.

It’s hard to say which aspect of the Riviera 43 Open Flybridge you’ll enjoy most … its capacity for superb entertaining, or great blue-water fishing? Almost certainly the answer will be “both”. Friends and family will revel in the spacious, well designed cockpit (with its ‘stair ladder’ to the flybridge), luxurious saloon, indeed every part of life onboard …
Luxury on a whole other level, class leading for a yacht of this size. Handcrafted, well considered, always welcoming. You’ll love retreating to the accommodation deck boasting your master stateroom and designer ensuite, located forward. Love treating your family and friends also to the full beam guest stateroom aft, with its VIP ensuite doubling as the day head.

World leading on board technology makes the 43 Open Flybridge supremely easy to operate and skipper…for novices and experienced hands alike. You’ll have silky-smooth Volvo Inboard Propulsion System (IPS) to power you, Volvo Penta Glass Cockpit Navigation and multi-function display screens to guide you and fingertip-easy, joystick manoeuvrability. Simply brilliant.

MULTITASKING
From the minute you step onto the huge boarding platform, through the transom door with its lift-up bridge and into the cockpit you can’t help but be impressed … The unified flow from the transom to the forward windscreen is obvious and it works so well

RIVIERA'S 43 OPEN FLYBRIDGE OFF THE CHARTS!
She gets onto plane almost immediately with virtually no use of the trim tabs. Cornering is tight and sure and she has a very smooth, soft ride even at pace. Even in huge swells she lifts gradually and gently settles into the troughs. She is a fabulous combination of luxury and practicality
