1998 Riviera 36ft Platinum Flybridge

DESCRIPTION

Riviera 36 Platinum Flybridge Cruiser

Twin Cummins Shaft Drives | Extensive Upgrades | Turn Key

Luxury Boat Sales QLD is proud to present this Riviera 36 Platinum, a standout example of one of Australia’s most respected and sought after flybridge cruisers.

Renowned as one of Australia’s most iconic luxury boat builders, Riviera has spent over four decades producing some of the country’s most respected offshore cruisers, known for their exceptional build quality, sea keeping ability, and long term ownership appeal.

The Riviera 36 Platinum is widely regarded as one of the standout models in the range, and for good reason. Designed as a true all rounder, these vessels feature a wide beam for their size, delivering a noticeably larger cockpit and saloon, along with excellent internal volume for extended stays onboard. Riviera’s solid hand laid fibreglass construction and deep vee hull design provide a soft, predictable ride offshore, while the shaft drive configuration offers superior tracking, balance, and low speed handling, a key reason these boats remain so popular today.

Another defining feature of the 36 Platinum is its practical flybridge layout with excellent visibility, combined with a generous cockpit ideal for fishing, entertaining, or relaxing at anchor, making it equally suited to serious boating and lifestyle use.

Designed to be as enjoyable at anchor as it is underway, this vessel is perfectly set up for entertaining, featuring a spacious cockpit, multiple social zones, and a Southern Stainless electric BBQ, ideal for long afternoons on the water with family and friends.

This particular example presents as a well maintained and extensively upgraded vessel, powered by twin Cummins shaft drive diesel engines, a highly sought after combination offering reliability, efficiency, and straightforward maintenance. With approximately 1,800 hours, these engines are only just run in by diesel standards, with Cummins platforms well known for achieving 8,000 to 12,000 plus hours when properly maintained.

With recent servicing completed, she represents a genuine turn key opportunity ready for immediate enjoyment.

A standout feature is the custom lithium battery system, built with premium Victron Energy components, a setup typically found in much newer, high end vessels, delivering exceptional off grid capability, efficient power management, and quiet, generator free operation when at anchor.
