The Rivanna shows off Jefferson’s knack for warm, inviting spaces. The salon is open and cozy, framed by rich wood finishes and big windows that fill the room with natural light. A few steps down, the galley is laid out for real use, plenty of counter space, full appliances, and smart storage, making it easy to treat guests to more than just sandwiches. 

The guest stateroom offers comfortable accommodations, while the master aft stateroom is pure motor-yacht comfort, complete with an en-suite head and the quiet, private feel that only an aft-cabin design delivers.

The flybridge is spacious and social, with good sightlines for the captain and plenty of seating for everyone else. Underway, the boat delivers a steady, confident ride typical of Jefferson’s semi-displacement hulls, comfortable at trawler speeds but able to pick up the pace when the day calls for it.

The 1991 Jefferson Rivanna is a classic mid-sized motor yacht that balances comfort, liveaboard practicality, and seaworthiness. It’s not a flashy yacht, but rather a dependable cruiser with a roomy layout, solid construction, and a cozy, welcoming interior. Perfect for someone who wants a boat for relaxed cruising, extended time afloat, or entertaining friends and family in comfort.

Come see all that this boat has to offer!  It's located in Anacortes - "Where It's A Boat Show Every Day!"
