Kiyomizu

Kiyomizu's primary suite runs the full beam of her main deck, a placement that turns the owner's cabin into the yacht's brightest room rather than tucking it below with the rest. Riva built the 89-foot Argo in 2020, and the interior carries the yard's high-contrast finish, lacquer, leather and stainless set against expansive glazing. She lies today in Fort Lauderdale.

Build and provenance

Kiyomizu is an 89-foot Argo, delivered in 2020 with a fiberglass hull. Her specification has been added to since delivery: enhanced soundproofing, upgraded navigation electronics, and bow and stern thrusters sit alongside the standard fit, additions a buyer would otherwise have to source and fit separately.

Layout and accommodation

Eight guests sleep across four cabins, with the full-beam primary suite occupying the main deck rather than being set below with the rest. Two VIP cabins and a convertible guest cabin sit below, each with its own en-suite, and four crew are quartered separately to keep the guest decks private.

Performance and engineering

Two 2,435 hp MTU engines give Kiyomizu a cruising speed of 23 knots and a top speed of 26, figures that put her closer to a fast planing yacht than a slow-moving displacement cruiser. Fin stabilisers and dual Seakeeper gyros work together underway and at anchor, the kind of double stabilisation a yacht built to run at this speed needs.

On deck and at anchor

The flybridge is the yacht's main outdoor room, with a bar, a dining set and sunpads beneath awnings on carbon-fibre poles. Underwater lights extend evenings onto the water, and a Williams jet tender travels aboard in its own stowage. Crestron integration ties the audio-visual systems together throughout.

Where she lies and how to see her

Kiyomizu lies in Fort Lauderdale. Boatcrowd sets up viewings and is there for each one; once an offer is accepted, a survey and sea trial follow before handover.
