Beautifully Maintained Jefferson Rivanna – Turn-Key and Ready to Cruise

This Jefferson Rivanna is fully equipped, thoughtfully upgraded, and ready for her next owner. Smaller vessel trades may be considered.

Designed with comfort and livability in mind, this two-stateroom layout offers far more space than typical multi-cabin boats. The massive master suite, oversized salon and galley, and generous storage throughout make this an ideal cruising yacht for a couple with guests. It’s a warm, open, and inviting layout that feels much larger than her size.

Recent upgrades have made the flybridge an especially enjoyable space. New isinglass has been installed around the bridge enclosure, allowing it to be fully air conditioned with the newly added flybridge A/C. This creates a comfortable, climate-controlled area that’s perfect for summer cruising and entertaining, even on the warmest days.

With exceptionally low original hours and a history of careful seasonal use in New England, this Rivanna shows far better than most yachts of her age. She was used only a few months each year and stored indoors out of the water during the off-season, resulting in minimal wear and excellent overall condition.

At 600 hours, the Cummins engines received the factory-recommended upgrades with new heads and valves. They now show just 980 original hours. The Northern Lights generator is brand new with only 6 hours of use.
