Gilman Yachts has listed Optimist<\/em>, a 2013 Riviera 5000 Sport Yacht<\/a>, with an asking price of $649,000. The express-style cruiser has a two-stateroom, two head, layout that can sleep seven thanks to a convertible sofa in the lower salon that converts into a Pullman berth forming upper and lower bunks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of this yacht’s highlights is the helm-station experience. Yachting<\/em> has previously reported<\/a> how well Riviera designed the double-leather-seat helm space on the 5000 Sport Yacht, including its sightlines: \u201cTwo forward-facing windows have uncluttered views and are served by decently sized wipers. Add the long side windows and the open after bulkhead, and you have a near-flawless, 360-degree line of sight.\u201d Additionally, there is a retractable sunroof in case the skipper wants to bring breezes and more natural light into the salon. The helm is also set up with a Garmin electronics suite, including multifunction GPS, displays, radar, autopilot and more. There is also joystick driving and a Skyhook vessel-positioning system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the sea trial we said, “Coming off of the four-foot swells at 30 knots, my body automatically tightened. I\u2019m getting too damn old for this routine, I thought, preparing to flex with the expected impact. And then there it was: nothing. I felt absolutely nothing. The Riviera 5000 Sport Yacht settled effortlessly, like a piece of cotton falling gently to the floor, into the trough outside of Sydney Harbor.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enhancing the driving fun, is the 5000 Sport Yacht’s performance. Twin 600 hp Cummins QSC8.3 diesels are paired to Zeus Pod drives and propel Optimist<\/em> to a reported 30-knot top hop, which is in line with our previous findings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This yacht is also about comfort at sea, and to that end the salon layout includes a C-shaped sofa and table to port and the galley to starboard abaft the two-seat helm station. The galley is equipped with Corian countertops, high-gloss cherry cabinets, custom Riviera plates, cups, dishes, glassware, a microwave\/convection oven, a dishwasher, stainless-steel refrigerators and freezers, and cruiseworthy provision stowage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Belowdecks, there is a lower salon, which has the sofa that converts into the Pullman berth, a great addition for larger cruising families. The owners’ stateroom is forward with a centerline queen berth and an en suite head. The amidships VIP stateroom has a queen berth and a single berth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When it comes to outdoor spaces, the 5000 Sport Yacht teak cockpit has a bench seat aft with a fixed table, just add some loose chairs and there\u2019s alfresco dining for up to six. Forward and to port is an L-shaped sofa for additional cockpit seating. Side decks lead to the foredeck where there is a two-person sun pad, making it a great spot to catch some sun or enjoy some Sundowners with friends. There is access to tender stowage via the transom door. A hydraulic swim platform works in tandem with an onboard launching system to easily store a 10-foot-2-inch tender.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some other notable features on board include a yacht tender winch, Cummins Engine Management Electronic Displays, automatic trim adjustment, fuel-management display with gph read out and total fuel burn data, a depth sounder, VHF, and an Onan 13.5 KW genset.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOn the salon level a settee runs most of the length of the port side. You\u2019ll need a few stools to accommodate six people, assuming your staterooms are full up. Otherwise, it will seat four comfortably as is, and flanks the fully equipped galley. Features include one drawer-style refrigerator and one freezer, a microwave, a dishwasher and a two-burner cook-top under the counter.\u201d \u2013 Yachting<\/em>, October 2010<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where is Optimist<\/em> located?<\/strong> The yacht is currently lying in West Palm Beach, Florida.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
