The Riviera 43 Offshore Express (OE) is a versatile sportfishing and family cruising vessel known for its “rugged sophistication” and specialized offshore performance. Launched in 2008, it was designed specifically for the Volvo Penta Inboard Performance System (IPS), which provides enhanced fuel efficiency, quiet operation, and joystick manoeuvrability for easy docking.

Key Features & Design

• Purpose-Built Hull: Features a running surface and chines optimized for a soft, dry ride in open ocean conditions.
• Helm & Deck Layout: The helm deck includes high-quality skipper and companion chairs, an L-shaped lounge with a GRP hi-low table, and an aft-facing mezzanine seat.
