With gleaming platinum exterior paint and multiple interior upgrades, the Australian-built Riviera 6000 Sport Yacht Platinum Edition presents a striking image and offers total comfort and dependable offshore operation.

TRAWLER TUESDAY. With a single 380-hp Cummins QSB 6.7L diesel, the teak-finished Helmsman 43E has a range of more than 1,000 NM 7.6 knots. Her size limits her to coastal operation, but with an air draft of just 13’6” (4.11 m) with the antenna arch lowered, she’d make a good Great Looper.
PRE-OWNED YACHT. This Absolute 60 has very low hours and includes all the options for no-stress enjoyment including a Seakeeper stabilizer, bow thruster and joystick docking on the aft deck and at the helms. The twin Volvo Penta IPS 950s have only 480 hours on them. She accommodates six.
