TWIN 510HP • FRANK MULDER HULL • UP TO 40 KNOTS
Built by Riviera Australia and drawn by naval architect Frank Mulder, the Riviera 45 Open Flybridge is a serious fishing machine that also happens to be a luxury yacht. She runs hard to Corbetena, El Banco, and the deep-water humps, then brings you back in full comfort. Two staterooms, full A/C salon, flybridge lounge, and a cockpit built for battle. This isn't a panga trip. This is how sportfishing was meant to be done.
Queen master with ensuite, guest cabin with Pullman bunks. Designer bathrooms throughout.
Open-air seating for 6, wet bar, independent sound system, and a full digital helm with GPS, sonar, and radar.
Air-conditioned lounge, dining area, gourmet galley, Starlink WiFi, and satellite TV.
Self-draining cockpit with reinforced game chair mount, lockable rod storage, and gas-strut hatches.
Gets you to Corbetena in under an hour. 3,300L fuel capacity for long-range offshore runs.
CAD-CAM precision hull with propeller tunnels. Quick to plane, incredibly stable, and built to handle open Pacific swells.

BANDERAS BAY & OFFSHORE
Puerto Vallarta sits at the mouth of Banderas Bay, one of the best fishing grounds in the Pacific. Year-round warm currents push gamefish close to shore. Corbetena, just 16 miles out, is an underwater rock formation that holds yellowfin tuna, marlin, and massive cubera snappers.

The Riviera 45 is a fishing boat, sure. But she's also a 45-foot floating lounge. Between hookups, head up to the flybridge with a cold drink and watch the Pacific stretch out. Kick back in the air-conditioned salon with satellite TV and Starlink WiFi. Or jump in Banderas Bay while the crew makes ceviche from your catch.
Chasing marlin offshore, hosting a birthday, taking clients out, or just wanting a solid day on the water. We build every trip around what you actually want to do.
From the moment you step aboard at the marina, our crew handles everything. All you need to bring is sunscreen and a good attitude. We take care of the rest.
