Description

⸻ Riva 25 Sport Fisherman – A Classic with Character The Riva 25 Sport Fisherman is a classic sportfishing boat or weekend cruiser. It is a rare and highly sought-after model that resulted from a collaboration between the renowned Italian shipyard Riva and the American manufacturer Bertram. Built in the 1970s, it was primarily sold to Scandinavia, the Mediterranean, and the Alpine lakes, and has since become a true collector’s item. This model perfectly combines elegant Italian design with solid American construction and excellent seakeeping capabilities, even in rough conditions. Sadly for sale due to lack of time. 📍 Location: 22880 Wedel, near Hamburg, Germany ⸻ ⚙️ Specifications • Year built: 1976 • Length: 7.52 m • Beam: 3.02 m • Draft: 0.68 m • Hull material: GRP (glass-reinforced plastic) • Engines: 2 × Mercruiser 5.7L V8 (newly installed, under 100 engine hours / 360 nautical miles) • Drive: Inboard shaft drive • Power: approx. 300 HP each • Fuel tank: approx. 440 l • Water tank: approx. 80 l • Max speed: approx. 28 knots • Cabins: 1 • Berths: 2 • Toilet: 1 (electric) ⸻ 🔧 Refit & Investments • 2005: Extensive refit at the renowned Schwartz Werft on the Rhine (€48,000).
