A particularly interesting opportunity in the diesel open-cruiser market of this size.

We offer for sale this 2007 Rio Yachts 32 Blu, an elegant unit that is particularly friendly, providing an excellent compromise between sailing pleasure, outdoor space, and real cruising capacity.

Its main advantage lies in its propulsion system: the boat is equipped with 2 × MerCruiser Cummins Diesel 2.8 L engines of 200 hp each, totaling 400 hp, with one new engine with only about ten hours of operation. The second engine has around 400 hours and has been maintained.

The anti-fouling was done at the beginning of the season.
