Located in Marsden Cove, Branch Office is a Riviera 38 Open Flybridge 2009. A standout model, built to high specifications and presenting in excellent condition with remarkably low engine hours. Like its predecessor, it offers two cabins – a forward stateroom with a double bed and a second bunk cabin – both complemented by a dual-access bathroom.

The spacious cockpit is perfect for both fishing and relaxing, while the flybridge, featuring an aft helm, is well set up for single-handed angling and bluewater fish. Fundamentally, this boat fits a lot into a small footprint, offering great value for money.

A passionate Riviera owner will understand the evolution from the first 38 Open models launched in 1981, the 2009 Riviera 38 is a major step forward in terms of comfort, ride quality, fuel efficiency, and style.

Inside, the luxurious saloon includes a starboard-side dinette with an L-shaped lounge and a larger L-shaped lounge that folds out into a large electric double. The forward galley is well-equipped, featuring a two-burner electric cooktop, a convection microwave oven, an under-bench fridge, and ample storage space.

In terms of performance, the vessel is fitted with underwater exhausts, which effectively reduce both noise and fumes, enhancing onboard comfort. Twin screw propulsion driven by Volvo Penta turbo diesel engines rated at 370hp.

Over its five-year production span, Riviera built a total of 31 units of this model, solidifying its place in the legacy of luxury boats. She is a solid platform to go exploring in and this refined model is well suited to NZ conditions.
