Hello Boater

Riviera Yachts 4300 Sports Express

Cruising Beyond Her Size 

Riviera4300SE

CRUISER FIRST The Riviera 4300 Sports Express packs several ideas more common on larger cruising yachts into a 45'6" platform. A lower-deck salon separates the forward and aft staterooms, the IPS joystick simplifies close-quarters handling, and a side-deck helm door speeds line handling when docking. In testing, she reached 33.2 knots and cruised comfortably at 25.9 knots.

Nimbus T8

TENDER GONE CRUISER The Nimbus T8 began life as a tender, and that heritage remains visible throughout the boat. Walkaround decks, multiple boarding points, overnight accommodations, and a standard bow thruster all reflect a boat expected to move people efficiently while still serving as a family dayboat.

Boating Without Ownership Tasks

NO BOAT YARD The boats are ready when needed, without the maintenance schedules, storage concerns, cleaning, or repair planning that come with ownership. Sovereign Boat Fleet focuses on late-model 27' to 31' boats, allowing members to spend their time on the water rather than managing a vessel.

NOW DELIVERED For most of her build, Legacy 4 existed largely as a name and a hull number. Following delivery, Codecasa revealed some information on her design, accommodations, and 5,000-NM range, although much of the yacht remains private.
