Sales broker Steve Moynihan at HMY Yachts has listed this 52-foot Riva Rivale for sale at an asking price of $1,699,000. She’s a “no-name,” but given her looks, we’ve taken to calling her the silver bullet—because we believe she’ll cure whatever ails you in a single shot.

The hours are low, just 203, on her twin 900-horsepower MAN D2848LE423 diesel engines. They generate a cruising speed of 34 knots and a top end of 37 knots, matching her sleek looks with sound performance. The balance of the MANs’ five-year manufacturer’s warranty is transferable to the new owner.

Given that this Riva is a 2014 build, her helm electronics are newer. They include Simrad radar with AIS, color sounder/depthfinder and combination radar/GPS/VHF radio.

Also noteworthy: the power Bimini top with enclosure will keep you cool when the sun gets hot.
