The Presidential layout provides four cabins
The listing identifies Riviera’s desirable Presidential layout with four cabins and three heads. A beam of 17 feet 8 inches gives the accommodation enough width for a genuine owner’s suite while retaining useful guest capacity for family or friends.
The enclosed sport-yacht format keeps the main saloon, galley and helm on one protected level, making the boat particularly practical in variable weather. Large windows still preserve the open visual connection owners expect from a contemporary cruising yacht.
Volvo IPS simplifies handling
Propulsion comes from Volvo machinery using IPS drives, combining strong cruising performance with joystick manoeuvring. IPS systems are particularly useful on yachts around 60 feet because they reduce low-speed handling workload for owners who operate without a large professional crew.
A Seakeeper 10 adds active roll reduction at anchor and low speed. Together, joystick control and stabilisation address two of the most common practical concerns for private owners moving up into this size range.
Recent investment strengthens the listing
The broker highlights significant recent servicing and upgrades, including generator work, engine servicing, fresh bottom paint, PropSpeed and replacement zinc anodes. A new Seakeeper through-hull valve and shore-power system service are also listed.
That maintenance history is important on a six-year-old yacht because it reduces uncertainty around near-term expenditure. Buyers should still verify all invoices and service records during survey, but documented work can materially improve a brokerage yacht’s appeal.
Michigan offers a Great Lakes cruising base
The yacht is located in Boyne City, Michigan, giving immediate access to Great Lakes cruising. The region supports substantial seasonal boating and offers long freshwater cruising routes that differ significantly from coastal saltwater operation.
At $1.99 million, the Riviera 6000 combines a relatively recent build year, four-cabin volume and a developed systems package. Its low-hour, upgraded presentation makes it a strong alternative to waiting for a new yacht of similar scale.
