DESCRIPTION & DETAILS
Alexander Marine Australia is pleased tot have SOLD this 1990 Riviera 46 Passagemaker.
This vessel is presented in great condition, and importantly, has undergone massive upgrades including a complete engine room refurbishment that was undertaken by the current owner - these works included brand new commercially rated Volvo main engines, brand new Westerbeke generator & new water tanks to name just a handful of upgrades - which will provide her next owner a few decades of reliable, hassle-free and enjoyable boating! These are big-ticket items that many contemplate but few have the time and patience to execute - that is of significant value and importance to an astute buyer when considering this vessel.
The 46 Passagemaker is a perfect family cruising boat. Access to the vessel is via a low maintenance non-skid finished GRP swim platform, with the option for a new owner to install a 2nd tender on snap davits (the snap davit hardware is included with the vessel). A S/S stern rail has also been installed for added safety and could also come in handy for the keen fishermen. She boasts a large cockpit, complete with varnished teak capping rails, with the floor finish being a practical removable woven vinyl flooring material. A top-opening cockpit drinks fridge will keep guests hydrated, while an S/S gunwale mounted Sovereign BBQ is on-hand for feeding the troops. The cockpit gets significant sun protection thanks to her ¾ cockpit awning which is perfect for our climate. Two steps up from the cockpit, via a glass and aluminum sliding door, you enter the spacious and light-filled saloon area. Opening side windows assist ventilation, otherwise, you can opt to turn on the air conditioning. Roll down side curtains are used to protect the interior from direct sunlight when the boat is not in use, and as an ingenious option, they can also be attached so the side rails at the bottom when on anchor to provide shade and rain protection while still permitting natural light and ventilation. The interior fabric choices are all light colours making for a "beach house" feel. The saloon seating configuration is a huge U-shaped settee to port, plus an in-line settee to starboard.
The 46 Passagemaker model featured a lower helm station which skippers may find handy on long passages which is positioned to starboard. Opposite the helm to port, set down two steps, is the spacious L-shaped galley complete with everything you need to feed the crew.
In terms of accommodation, the master cabin is to starboard and has its own head. The forward cabin is configured as V-berths with an inlay when required - this cabin uses the 2nd head which features a separate shower stall. The lower accommodation and heads feature overhead hatches, and likewise, opening ports in both cabins for natural ventilation and light.
Access up-to the foredeck is made safer courtesy of her walk-around side decks (which was a feature unique to the Passagemaker models), before you step up onto the foredeck. On the bow, her tender is stowed and deployed via a 500kg Davco crane. Her anchoring equipment includes a S/S Ultra Anchor for a quality night's sleep.
Her flybridge features brand new four-sided clears. The helm station is positioned aft and is well suited to fishing as the skipper has a great view astern. Docking is assisted by way of a bow thruster which has its own dedicated battery for optimum performance. She is equipped with late-model Raymarine Hybrid Touch MFD electronics including radar. Two helm seats ensure the captain won't get lonely, and they is plenty of seating in front of the helm station for additional guests wishing to enjoy the great views from up top.
She has just been antifouled and polished and is blue water ready.
