Broker Overview

This 2018 Riviera 4800 Sport Yacht, currently asking $725,000 in Marina Del Rey, represents a compelling opportunity for a buyer seeking a modern, well-appointed cruiser. Riviera is known for its robust fiberglass construction and thoughtful layouts, and the 4800 is no exception. This model benefits from the twin Volvo Penta IPS 800 engines, which offer excellent maneuverability via joystick control, efficient cruising, and a clean engine room footprint. The two-stateroom, two-head configuration provides comfortable accommodation for owners and guests, making it suitable for extended coastal cruising or weekend escapes. The single-level living and entertaining spaces, a hallmark of Riviera's Sport Yacht series, are designed for seamless indoor-outdoor enjoyment. While the asking price reflects its age and condition, it's important to consider the overall value proposition against new builds or comparable vessels. This particular Riviera 4800 offers a balance of performance, luxury, and practical liveability, making it a strong contender in the 50-foot sport yacht category. We encourage a thorough inspection to appreciate its condition and features fully.

Expert Review

The Riviera 4800 Sport Yacht is a well-regarded vessel, known for its solid fiberglass construction and excellent finish quality. The hull design, paired with the Volvo Penta IPS system, delivers a smooth and stable ride, even in choppier conditions, making it a capable coastal cruiser. Performance is spirited yet economical for a yacht of this size. Value for money on a 2018 model at this price point is strong, particularly considering the integrated IPS technology and Riviera's reputation for resale. During a survey, pay close attention to the IPS pods for any signs of corrosion or damage, ensure all electronic systems, particularly the Glass Cockpit, are fully functional, and inspect the teak decking (if fitted) for wear. Comparable alternatives might include certain models from Maritimo or Sunseeker, but the Riviera often stands out for its practical layout and robust build. This model typically holds its value well due to its enduring appeal and quality.

Full Listing Description

The boat is held in a single asset LLC

The 4800 Sport Yacht – with two staterooms and two bathrooms – proudly takes external design cues from the Riviera 6000 and 5400 models, for which there is extremely strong worldwide demand.

The 4800 has all the Riviera Sport Yacht hallmarks – sleek styling, leisurely single-level living and entertaining features, premium levels of luxury and superb sea-keeping capabilities – embedded deeply in her DNA.
