1996 Rio Iberica 850 Cruiser for sale

Elegant weekender with modernised technology and great comfort: Rio 850 Cruiser (8.25 x 3.00 m)

This well-maintained Rio 850 Cruiser combines Mediterranean charm with a surprisingly generous sense of space – and, thanks to extensive modernisations in recent years, presents itself as an exceptionally attractive package for couples, families and anyone who enjoys relaxing days on the water. Its lines appear timelessly elegant, while the two-tone hull shimmers in the sunlight above the turquoise lake, instantly conveying a feeling of freedom and lightness.

On deck, the Rio 850 Cruiser appears inviting and homely: the cockpit has been modernised and newly painted, and now impresses with clean surfaces, high-quality materials and an open lounge seating area. The spacious bathing platform with teak inlays quickly becomes a favourite spot – ideal for sunbathing, swimming or enjoying a sundowner with a view of the waves. With the high-quality cockpit cover and the Bimini top, everything stays protected and well maintained. The new, custom-made bow sunpad is another strong upgrade: it adds additional space and significantly enhances comfort on quiet summer days.

The helm station clearly shows how meticulously this Rio has been upgraded. The new cockpit dashboard with large Simrad chartplotter, integrated fishfinder and modernised layout immediately conveys a sense of control, safety and contemporary technology. Analogue instruments, new control elements and the high-quality steering system create a harmonious, pleasantly maritime appearance – evidence of the attention to detail.

Below deck, the Rio 850 Cruiser surprises with a bright, welcoming interior featuring four berths and a separate sleeping cabin. The seating area with solid wood table can be used flexibly, and the new LED lighting concept ensures a pleasant atmosphere in the evenings. Particularly practical for weekend trips: the separate wet room on board includes a toilet, washbasin and a full shower – thanks to the new 25-litre hot-water boiler, even with warm water. This creates a level of comfort rarely found in this class and makes longer stays on board especially enjoyable. The installed 230-V sockets further increase comfort. Note: the mattress in the sleeping cabin is not included – the interior can be professionally refurbished on request.

Technically, the Rio 850 Cruiser presents itself in excellently maintained condition. The powerful Volvo Penta 7.4 Gi DP with 254 kW runs smoothly, confidently and brings the boat reliably into planing mode. With around 770 engine hours, the drive is in a very good age-appropriate range – and the maintenance history speaks for itself. From 2023 to 2025, extensive work was carried out to ensure safety, reliability and value retention: impeller and oil cooler replaced, sterndrive serviced, distributor renewed, bellows replaced, major engine service including exhaust inspection. In addition, shore power, battery charger, inverter and hot-water boiler were installed professionally and seamlessly.

With space for up to eight people, this boat is ideal for families, friends or couples who value relaxed moments, comfortable equipment and reliable technology. The harmonious combination of Mediterranean style, well-kept condition and thoughtful modernisations makes this Rio 850 Cruiser a highly attractive opportunity in its class – a leisure companion that inspires emotions while delivering technical confidence.
