Riviera 48 Offshore Express

'Tango' is probably the most unique Riviera Offshore Express on the market, with a tuna tower, an impressive history and even more impressive suite of equipment. Originally launched in South Australia, Tango has worked extensively in Western Australia as a research vessel, supporting whale studies and contracts with the Australian Defence Force. She has since travelled across the northern coast of the country and now resides in Queensland. Built by Riviera, a name known for capable offshore cruisers, Tango is a proven long range vessel with exceptional sea-keeping ability. She is still registered in Western Australia and currently in survey (restricted to research use only and Jamaican flagged), meaning she has been maintained to a high commercial standard throughout her life. Now available for private use, Tango offers the reliability of a research vessel with the comfort and versatility of a family cruiser. She is fully equipped with a comprehensive suite of navigation and safety equipment usually found only on large commercial boats. Whether you are planning extended coastal cruising, serious offshore fishing, or relaxed family getaways, Tango is ready. Features include: - Professional grade navigation systems - Custom display monitors - Dual Furuno radar - Furuno echo sounders - TMQ C-Plot navigation charts (Full inventory available on request) - Tuna tower with second control station - Electric lift engine room floor - Six fridge and freezer units for extended trips - Full safety gear to commercial survey standard including new liferafts - Outriggers for offshore fishing - Air conditioned cockpit with clears that fully enclose the area - Twin 825 horsepower MTU engines - Bow and stern thrusters for easy handling in all conditions Tango is a rare opportunity to step into a true ocean capable vessel with the comfort and confidence to explore far beyond the marina
