The Australian builder tends to be more open-minded in terms of design than most who compete in this active market. The new 58 Enclosed Flybridge can be used for fishing and cruising-the essence of a convertible design. However, Riviera has added a third component to this iconic American genre. The 58 has a Euroyacht flavor that takes convertible design in a new direction.

From the outside the 58 follows the same creative path as the other semi-enclosed bridge models in the Riviera line. It is not easy penning a good looking convertible that’s less than 70 feet without having it appear top-heavy. Riviera’s design team has done a good job of diminishing this with a silky smooth unbroken sheer sweep that visually adds to her length. This effect is embellished by the 58′s long, slim window line and blacked-out house face. Like her smaller sisters (47E and 51E), her bridge is semi-enclosed with the after end fitted with isinglass. On inclement days one can ride in climate controlled comfort and, if the weather improves, drop the curtains, open the side windows, and retract the electrically operated sunroof. Those that find an enclosed bridge too confining should take a close look at this arrangement because it offers an interesting indoor-outdoor alternative.

The helm-forward design allows plenty of space for electronics. There is helm and companion pedestal seating as well as an adjacent bench seat. I would opt to mount the engine instruments on the dash instead of overhead. An L-shaped seating area with a table and a wet bar is aft. Those who favor fishing will find the second control station on the after end of the bridge essential with its clear view of the transom. Fishermen will want to add a monitor for the sounder and radar. A staircase with a door/hatch leads below to the saloon. In my opinion, the bridge has a rather interesting all-weather layout but since the 58 is “semi-enclosed” it would be best to leave the isinglass curtains in place if the weather threatens.

The cockpit has a partial mezzanine with built-in bench seating. A small bait-prep center with a sink and tackle storage is at cockpit level. There is a freezer within the bench seat and storage beneath the step that can be refrigerated and used as a drink box. In-sole storage/fish boxes are plumbed for overboard discharge and there is storage beneath the coaming. A transom livewell has a viewing port and a door/gate leads aft to a swim platform that serious fishermen will likely do without. Decks are finished in molded nonskid and steps at the cockpit sides make moving forward less of a challenge. A teak sole is offered in the cockpit and is standard on the bridge.

It is the 58′s open saloon/galley-aft arrangement that sets her apart from her competitors. While I have seen other galley-aft arrangements on convertibles over the years they have never made much sense-a sofa with a cockpit view is hard to beat. The 58 has an additional twist, however. A Euro-style opening bulkhead window creates an alfresco galley for sharing food, beverages, or fishing stories with those in the cockpit-brilliant! An L-shaped saloon sofa facing a built-in TV is forward, as is the dinette. House-face windows on convertibles are not popular in the U.S. since serious fishermen consider them unnecessary. Normally I would agree, but given the 58′s saloon forward conguration the option is worth considering.

After stringent testing of the 1962 prototype, the Lipicar, the Aquarama entered production in 1963. The hull was completely identical to that of the Open Tritone, whose production was ended, with many technical and functional improvements. The most obvious were the anchor housing in the bow closed with a hatch, the raised edge to the fore deck and the varnished Honduras dashboard and its rim with the new VDOs. The front seats were separated, with a pocket on the rear of the driver’s backrest and a folding shelf on the back of the other. The recessed sunbathing area in the stern was tapered unlike that of the Tritone and was easier to reach from the bathing ladder thanks to a non-slip area set into the stern deck. There was considerable research to improve noise and cruising comfort. The sides were initially still of carvel, but laminated sides were fitted starting from # 4. The upholstery of the first models was white ribs with black borders and orange trim. From the end of 1963 also the Super Aquarama was on sale. The 1964 series was enriched by the updates described for the Tritone, plus a new icebox located under the cockpit sole between the two rows of seats. The sole was now fitted with sliding hatches instead of hinged ones. From # 34 the bottom was modified in the same way as that of the Tritone. Chrysler engines were used in 1966 and some prototypes produced with different bottoms, the bottom of # 178 was to be that of the 1967 series. As well as the new bottom, sweeter for cruising, the Aquarama and Super could flaunt the new Riva engines, outcome of the collaboration between Riva and Crusader. Furthermore, a marine WC was installed under the bunk and the upholstery was now turquoise/ivory for the Aquarama and lobster/ivory for the Super. The 1969 series, with # 309, had a new, more raked stempost, with new cutwater and a new bow cap whose design consisted of a single air intake instead of the previous two.

This yacht was mostly never used, only 50 hour on the engines…LIKE NEW!

It’s no secret that offshore fishing boats are being used more and more as offshore cruising machines. And why not? They’re built to take on just about anything, and they look fantastic. But while it’s easy to maintain fishability in the cockpit, making an attractive cruiser is mostly an affair with the interior. This week we look at the Viking 45 which has been around awhile and is in the size “sweet spot” for boats of this type. Viking has made its reputation on building tough boats for mean anglers who like to blast their way out to the canyons, but how good is the Viking 45 for cruising? This is a class-act cruising battlewagon.

Certainly the most equipped Majesty ever produced… A very keen seller as expecting to receive a new yacht!!!!
