2015 Riva 63 Hardtop Sport Cruiser Three Staterooms Ready to Cruise
This 63-foot Italian hardtop sport cruiser from 2015 combines the sleek, minimalist interiors Riva is known for with seagoing performance and systems specified for the U.S. market. Built on the successful hardtop platform, the hull geometry provides confident handling and efficient cruising, while the layout balances bright living spaces and three full staterooms plus crew quarters—making this boat equally suited for weekend escapes, longer coastal runs, or hosting friends in comfortable style. US-spec equipment, upgraded air conditioning, and a suite of recent mechanical services mean the boat is prepared for immediate use.
At 63 feet overall, this Riva hardtop cruiser retains the brand’s unmistakable lines and attention to detail, from varnished wood finishes to large hull windows that flood the interior with light; the hardtop features a factory-designed convertible section that stows cleanly when open and provides weather protection with StrataGlass zip-in inserts when closed. The hull’s tuned deadrise delivers predictable sea manners and makes sustained cruising at approximately 30 knots comfortable and efficient, while the boat’s systems have been specified and reinforced for U.S. operation (US wiring, larger generator, and Super Tropical A/C).
Spacious Interior Layout: Three Stateroom Cabin Details
Below, the interior emphasizes openness and headroom (approximately 6’4″) with a midship master suite featuring a queen berth, extensive hanging lockers, vanity, TV and a large ensuite with separate shower; a forward VIP with center queen and ensuite; and a port-side guest cabin with over/under bunks opposite a day head/shower. The galley is concealed behind wood panels to present clean entertaining spaces when closed and opens to reveal refrigerator, separate freezer, electric cooktop, microwave and dishwasher when in use; salon seating includes an L-shaped leather sofa, dinette, dedicated storage and wool carpeting throughout for a warm, finished feel. A dedicated crew cabin on the aft deck (bunk, sink, shower) allows for professional help without compromising owner privacy.
Deck and Cockpit Features: Garage, Sunpads, Aft Layout
The cockpit and deck are configured for active use and easy marina moves: an electric garage launch/haul system carries an Aquascan tender, while teak cockpit and side decks, large stainless rails, swim ladder, hot-and-cold freshwater shower and a well-sized anchor locker with Lofrans windlass and CQR anchor support safe operations. Practical touches include a Glendinning cablemaster with remote, automatic passerelle, two electric snubbing winches aft for close-quarters handling, a varnished mahogany folding table and a sliding cockpit seat with integrated bottle storage for alfresco dining; a BBQ with sink and refrigerator cabinet sit starboard, and generous sunpads forward and above the garage provide comfortable lounging areas with a manual sunshade.
Performance, Propulsion and Recent Mechanical Upgrades
This hull is fitted with the optional high-power MAN propulsion package (1,400 hp rating), chosen for quieter operation, improved fuel efficiency and reduced load to reach cruising speed; owners report effortless 30-knot cruise capability. Mechanical support includes a 20 kW generator and an engine room laid out for serviceability with accessible strainers, crash valves, thru-hulls and pumps. Key recent work: 1,000-hour engine service completed (12/24), watermaker serviced (12/24), fire buoy replaced and fire extinguishing systems checked (12/24), and a new retractable electric bimini top installed (6/23), all helping to ensure readiness for extended cruising.
Navigation, Electronics and Helm Command Systems Overview
The helm is built for three and offers clear sightlines with climate control at the station, comfortable ergonomics, MAN engine displays and intuitive controls; electronics include dual Garmin GPSMAP 8612 multifunction displays with radar, Garmin autopilot, depth sounder, chain counter, bow thruster control, VHF and a compass. The Riva-designed mast carries two domes (satellite and spare), radar and antennas, and the convertible hardtop/StrataGlass arrangement lets the helm be sheltered or open depending on conditions—ideal for coastal passages or fast, exposed runs.
