1989 - RIVIERA 3300 OPEN FLYBRIDGE

The launch of the Riviera 3300 marked a new development. She was the first model to display an integrated mould for the coach-house and flybridge and introduced a more rounded, elegant styling to the saloon window line.

Fisherman and Boatowner magazine described the 3300 as ” a very good-looking boat . . . easy on the eye and striking to look at “.

A second feature that would be included in most models for more than a decade was a moulded sink unit in the cockpit that could swing aside to reveal entry to the engine room.

The 3300 offered owners the choice of one or two cabins.

The popular single cabin in the forepeak included a generous double bed. The en-suite bathroom on the starboard side, immediately aft of the cabin, was equipped with an electric flush toilet, separate shower stall and vanity.

The twin cabin option offered a V-berth forward, twin bunks in a cabin on the starboard side and a bathroom on the port side.

A generous galley forward and a step down from the main saloon deck was equipped with two-burner cooktop, under-bench refrigeration and plenty of storage including a dedicated plate locker.

Fisherman and Boatowner was particularly impressed with the saloon and its fabric-covered U-shape dinette lounge. “A delight to behold” stated the review.

The magazine concluded: “For people buying a cruiser for the first or the seventh time, the Riviera 3300 is one heck of a package.”

Power options aboard the 3300 included twin Cummins diesel engines (6BT offering up to 210 hp or the 6BTA offering up to 315 hp).
The 3300 achieved sales of an impressive 192 boats over a period of 11 years from 1989.
