XBOAT ref :6046.
History
My yacht, built by the renowned RIVA shipyard, is hull no. 8 of the 22 units produced of the DOLCEVITA model. It received its first navigation certificate in September 1999 before being delivered to its first owner.
In August 2003, I acquired her with only 180 engine hours. That same September, I had her transported to the RIVA shipyard for a full refit and various upgrades, which were completed in April 2005. Since then, she has been maintained with the utmost care and diligence.
