The Riviera 42 Flybridge Convertible stands as one of Riviera’s most admired designs — a yacht that masterfully combines strength, elegance, and versatility. With its seaworthy hull, luxurious living spaces, and thoughtfully arranged flybridge and cockpit, it offers true bluewater performance with the comfort and refinement of a luxury motor yacht. Whether cruising along the coast, crossing open waters, or enjoying weekends with family and friends, the Riviera 42 Flybridge delivers a timeless expression of craftsmanship, safety, and style — the hallmark of every Riviera yacht. The Riviera 42 Flybridge Convertible represents the perfect balance between bluewater performance, luxurious accommodation, and sophisticated craftsmanship. Designed and built in Australia by Riviera, one of the world’s most respected yacht builders, the 42 Flybridge embodies the company’s core values of quality, comfort, and seaworthiness. Whether cruising long distances, entertaining guests, or chasing game fish offshore, this vessel delivers a combination of style and strength that defines the Riviera brand. The boat is built on a solid fiberglass hull with a deep forefoot and moderate deadrise, providing a smooth, dry, and confident ride in a range of sea conditions. With a wide 14’11” beam, she offers exceptional stability and generous interior volume. The hull is hand-laid with vinylester resin and reinforced in high-load areas, ensuring long-term durability. Attention to detail is evident throughout: all components are fitted with precision, and every hatch, fitting, and joint is engineered for strength and easy maintenance. The result is a yacht that feels as solid underway as it looks at the dock. The exterior design features flowing lines, a high freeboard, and Riviera’s signature flybridge profile — timeless styling that combines function with aesthetic elegance. Equipped with twin Cummins QSC diesel engines, rated 540 hp each, delivering dependable cruising speeds around 24–26 knots and top speeds exceeding 30 knots, depending on conditions and load. The modified-V hull form and propeller tunnels reduce draft while optimizing fuel efficiency and performance. Hydraulic steering, trim tabs, and precise throttle response make handling effortless at all speeds. The 42 Flybridge’s performance is confident and predictable — equally at home running offshore or manoeuvering through tight marinas.
