2008 Riviera 4700 Sport Yacht

2008 RIVIERA 4700 SPORT YACHT – "MY GIRL"

A genuinely well-kept example of Riviera’s award-winning 4700 Sport Yacht, offered with the sought-after Caterpillar C12 engine upgrade, and with the sort of thoughtful equipment list that makes a 47-footer easy for a couple to run on their own.

Three cabins, two full bathrooms, a Miele washer/dryer, and a reverse-osmosis watermaker give her real long-term use capability, while bow and stern thrusters paired with a Yacht Controller wireless remote mean she can be berthed single-handed. The interior timberwork has always been protected from the sun and presents well for her age.
