Gold Coast luxury yacht builder Riviera is an iconic Australian company that today stands synonymous on an international scale with hallmark luxury, easy-to-use technology, bluewater sea-keeping capability and unrivaled owner support. This has not come about by chance – underpinning the growing success of 2015’s Australian Marine Industry Exporter of the Year is an deeply embedded ethos of excellence that is reflected through a rich 35-year heritage and the launch of almost 5200 motor yachts that can today be seen cruising the lakes, rivers, seas and oceans of the world. Riviera owner and chairman Rodney Longhurst – who returned the company to private ownership in 2012 – said that whilst humbled by the growing global affection for the luxury marque, the 480-strong team of dedicated designers, engineers and master craftsmen at Riviera’s world-class facility at Coomera remains absolutely focused on building the best Rivieras ever. “I was recently asked to describe Riviera in one word and it immediately struck me that ‘proud’ truly represents all the key attributes that have helped Riviera to be considered as amongst the best builders of luxury yachts in the world,” he said. “In fact over 55% of our production is exported to international ports.” The current Riviera range – spanning 17 different models across five distinctive model collections – caters to an extremely wide range of boating pursuits and individual styles. “We are continually refining our existing models and creating new models to suit the changing needs and desires of discerning yacht owners,” said Mr Longhurst. “A luxury yacht must be able these days to be the consummate entertaining vessel, the ultimate passage-maker, the total family getaway, even the perfect home away from home where owners can enjoy extended living aboard without pining for any shore-side comforts.” In the past 12 months, Riviera has staged the World Premieres of a range of new models designed for family, fun and fishing. These models include the new 77 Enclosed, 57 Enclosed and 52 Enclosed models from the true blue-water classic Flybridge collection, a new presidential master stateroom design for the stylish and sophisticated 6000 Sport Yacht, and a new 525 design from the sporty and adventurous Riviera SUV series. The marque has also this year announced a new 5400 Sport Yacht will make its World Premiere at Miami International Boat Show (11-15 February 2016) and a new 575 SUV design will make its World Premiere at the Riviera Festival of Boating (19-22 May 2016).
