INTRODUCTION

The Sweet Spot: Cruise in Comfort, Fish on Command

Meet SAFARI, the Riviera 40 that doubles as a relaxed, family-friendly cruiser and a capable offshore sportfish. She’s the boat where one crew can stream the game in the salon while another works the cockpit spread—then everyone gathers for dinner in an air-conditioned interior with a dishwasher and washer/dryer.

OWNER’S NOTES

SAFARI  feels bigger than 40’ where it counts—salon, galley, and cockpit—so families aren’t on top of each other, and anglers have space to work. She’s turnkey for fall football raft-ups, leaf-peeping cruises, or hopping a weather window to chase tuna. The big jobs (electronics, enclosure, windlass, 1,000-hr services) are already done, which means you can step aboard and use the boat right away.

Private showings in Portsmouth, RI. Trades considered.
