Riva Bahamas
Published: 07.25.2024
Description
Hull number 10 of the Riva Bahamas series has been used only for the short 2020 boating season in the Med. Traded back to the Ferretti Group in late 2020 for a larger Ferretti product the yacht was taken back to her La Spezia birthplace where all systems were checked and updated as needed.
In June of 2021 the current owner contracted to purchase the boat from Ferretti Group while still in Italy. The yacht arrived to Ft. Lauderdale, was imported, duty paid and Ferretti Group of America set out to "Americanize" the boat. This included AMG frequency converters, AMG transformers and a convenience converter box that powers the new 110 volt 60 HZ outlets throughout the boat.
She was delivered to her new owner in November in 2021 and used very sparingly since but with a captain aboard full time. With her ultra-low engine hours and full time professional care, she is a highly desirable sport yacht actively looking for a new owner!
Sporting the patented “C-Top” the Bahamas model goes from an open top express style cruiser to a hardtop cruiser at the press of a button. Stowing neatly in a recessed area on the bow the hardtop raises to attach to the forward windshield revealing additional sun pads on the bow. Alternatively it can be closed partway to shade the forward lounge seating. The Ice White exterior gelcoat is perfect for the Florida market!
Walkthrough
Large enough to have a generous interior this Express style yacht has very high end finishes both inside and out. With no less than six areas for seating the Riva Bahamas is a great boat for enjoying the outside environment. Inside centerline steps lead to a comfortable Salon with Galley to starboard, Master Suite aft and two ensuite cabins forward. The crew has a private area forward of the Engine Room for two crew.
Salon/Lounge Area
The Salon Area is entered on centerline via a sliding door and seven carpeted steps with stainless steel trim and a slim LED across the full riser. The optional high gloss mahogany interior shows beautifully with lots of black leather and black lacquer trim.
To port is a six cushion L-shaped settee in a U-shape around a high glass mahogany table with a substantial mahogany and stainless steel base. Arranged outboard of the settee are cabinets with fitted crockery, glasses and tableware, a Yamaha TSR-700 AV receiver and a HD Direct TV receiver behind a mirrored door, open shelves and large hull side windows with electrically operating blinds and Roman shades.
