The layout is focused on ease of use and offers sleeping space for four people in fixed beds, with an additional four extra sleeping places. The accommodation is equipped with a dining area, mattresses, a shower, and an electric toilet. The kitchen is equipped with a refrigerator, freezer, oven, stove, microwave, and hot water supply. These facilities make the ship suitable for longer stays on board.
The heating on board works on hot air, ensuring a pleasant indoor climate, even on cooler days. The interior steering is operated via a steering wheel, and the ship features a dual rudder configuration, which enhances maneuverability.
Engine and Performance
The Princess Riviera 46 is equipped with two Volvo Penta TAMD 71 B diesel engines, each with a power of 380 hp. Both engines are from the year 1991 and have approximately 1500 operating hours each. The engines are electrically started and are mounted inboard. The cruising speed of the ship is around 23 kilometers per hour, with a maximum speed of about 55 kilometers per hour. The fuel tank has a capacity of 1500 liters, providing a wide range.
The engines are supported by various instruments, including a fuel tank gauge, oil pressure gauge, temperature gauge, and tachometer. For extra maneuverability, the ship is equipped with an electric bow thruster.
Electrical Installation and Power Supply
On board, there are five batteries with a total capacity of 500 amperes. The electrical installation operates on 12v and 220v and includes a battery charger, alternator, inverter, voltmeter, and shore power connection. Additionally, there is a diesel generator with a capacity of 3,500 watts, powered by a single-cylinder diesel engine. This generator provides power to the ship when shore power is not available.
Navigation and Safety
The navigation equipment on board consists of an autopilot, depth meter, compass, log/speedometer, and a VHF radio. This equipment allows for safe navigation on both inland waters and open sea. For safety, there are a lifebuoy, a self-draining cockpit, and an electric bilge pump available.
Exterior and Deck Equipment
The exterior space of the Princess Riviera 46 is equipped with a sprayhood, cockpit tent, outdoor deck cushions, cockpit table, and a swim platform with a swim ladder. The guardrail contributes to safety on deck. The ship is equipped with an electric anchor winch with an anchor attached to a chain. Fenders and lines are available for mooring in harbors or at docks.
Usage and Sailing Experience
The Princess Riviera 46 has been used on various waters, including inland waters, lakes, ponds, rivers, and seas. The ship has been used for day trips, weekend stays, and vacations. The sailing properties are described as particularly suitable for both relaxing trips and longer journeys. Docking is experienced as easy, partly thanks to the bow thruster and the clear steering.
Registration and Documentation
