2008 Riviera 47 Open Flybridge Series II | 47ft
Listing Price: $750,000
General Overview
The 2008 Riviera 47 Open Flybridge Series II represents one of the most respected offshore platforms in her class—purpose-built in Australia with a focus on structural integrity, long-range capability, and practical luxury. For experienced owners, the 47 Series II is widely regarded as a sweet spot in Riviera’s lineage, blending bluewater performance with a highly functional flybridge and interior layout.
This is an original West Coast–ordered vessel, thoughtfully specified for Pacific conditions and tournament-level use. The addition of forward windows enhances natural light and visibility—an increasingly sought-after feature among knowledgeable Riviera buyers—while the teak cockpit underscores both its sportfishing pedigree and premium finish.
A comprehensive 2025 customization has brought the vessel fully up to modern standards, highlighted by a complete Garmin electronics suite integrated with EmpirBus digital switching and vessel management. This level of systems integration offers intuitive control and monitoring that aligns with today’s expectations for high-end operation.
Power is provided by twin CUMMINS QSM11s—an industry-proven choice known for delivering reliable horsepower, excellent torque curves, and long service intervals. The boat is further dialed in with Acme props, contributing to optimized performance and efficiency. As an LLC-OWNED vessel with a strong maintenance history, it reflects the kind of stewardship seasoned buyers prioritize.
From a rigging and outfitting standpoint, this 47 is unequivocally tournament-capable and extensively equipped, including:
Full Garmin electronics package (2025) with integrated EmpirBus system
FLIR thermal imaging for low-light and offshore navigation
Eskimo ice chipper for serious fishing applications
Custom transom tank enhancing range and/or bait capacity
Bow thruster for precise close-quarters handling
Watermaker and inverter supporting extended автономous use
Starlink connectivity and upgraded audio/visual systems
Underwater lighting package
Dinghy with davit system
Pompanette helm seating for premium operator comfort
Custom bridge storage and stainless fabrication throughout
Riviera’s hallmark is in the details—solid fiberglass construction below the waterline, a dry-running hull, and interiors that balance durability with handcrafted finishes. The flybridge layout, in particular, is designed for long-range comfort and clear sight-lines, making it ideal for both serious passage-making and tournament scenarios.
For the discerning buyer, this is not a standard 47—it’s a highly customized, West Coast–rigged example that reflects a deep understanding of the platform. Turnkey, extensively upgraded, and built on one of Riviera’s most proven hulls, it represents a compelling opportunity to step into a vessel that delivers both capability and credibility.
