47' 2009 Riviera 4700 Sport Yacht

2009 Riviera 4700 Sport Yacht

This 2009 Riviera 4700 Sport Yacht represents an exceptional opportunity to acquire one of Riviera’s most popular express cruising models following an extensive refit completed from 2024 through 2026. The scope of the work has been substantial, addressing the yacht’s major mechanical, electrical, navigation, and cosmetic systems and resulting in a vessel that has been significantly updated from her original configuration.

At the heart of the refit is an all-new propulsion package featuring a pair of Caterpillar C12 diesel engines currently showing only approximately 150 total hours, coupled to new Twin Disc transmissions and mated to reliable straight shafts. The generator was also replaced with a new Onan 13.5kW unit currently displaying 220 hrs of total use. Additional handling upgrades include Side-Power E100 and E150 bow and stern thrusters along with a new Zipwake trim control system.

The electronics package has been extensively updated and includes Garmin navigation displays, Garmin radar, and a Garmin Reactor 40 autopilot with GHC 50 control. Starlink has also been installed for onboard connectivity, while upgraded Fusion and JL Audio components provide a modern onboard entertainment system.

One of the standout features of the Riviera 4700 Sport Yacht is an interior layout that provides the accommodations of a considerably larger yacht. Below deck are three private staterooms, making her particularly well suited for families, extended cruising, or charter use. The owner's stateroom features an island queen berth and a private ensuite head with a separate stall shower. Two additional guest staterooms each feature twin berths, providing excellent flexibility for children, guests, or charter parties. A second day head serves the guest accommodations and provides additional convenience when cruising with a full complement aboard.

The spacious accommodations are complemented by Riviera's open Sport Yacht concept, which creates an easy transition between the salon and cockpit and provides excellent spaces for entertaining, relaxing, and spending time together underway or at anchor. The combination of three staterooms, two heads, generous entertaining areas, and substantial onboard systems makes the 4700 particularly appealing for a family looking to spend extended periods aboard. The versatile sleeping arrangement and multiple private cabins also make her an intriguing option for an owner interested in placing the vessel into charter service.

Exterior and deck improvements include new Flexiteek decking, new aft seating upholstery, new bow cushion upholstery and covers, and a new aft sunshade and canvas. Ground tackle has also been upgraded with a new Lewmar windlass and Lewmar DTX 55-lb anchor. Electrical upgrades include Mastervolt charging and monitoring equipment, a Hubbell isolation transformer, and updated 50-amp shore-power equipment. Rounding out the features list of this impressive vessel is a convenient hydraulic swim platform. 

The Riviera 4700 Sport Yacht has long been known for combining comfortable accommodations, excellent entertaining spaces, strong performance, and Riviera's respected build quality. With the scope of this recent refit, including new Caterpillar C12 diesels with only approximately 150 hours, new transmissions, new generator, updated Garmin electronics, bow and stern thrusters, Starlink, upgraded audio, Flexiteek decking, upholstery, canvas, and electrical systems, ‘Strider’ offers a compelling opportunity for someone looking for a substantially updated yacht without taking on the time, expense, and uncertainty of a major refit themselves.

Whether used as a family cruising yacht, for extended coastal adventures, or as a charter platform, this extensively refitted Riviera 4700 Sport Yacht deserves serious consideration.
