Additionally, Riviera has also trumpeted an entirely new model collection, the Sports Motor Yacht, from which the first 67 model is scheduled for a 2017 release. Mr Longhurst says existing and new Riviera owners have eagerly embraced all these new models at major boat shows around the world, and this is in no small part due to Riviera’s renowned commitment to customer care which also extends to the timelessly classic Belize collection. “The unrivaled Riviera Experience runs much deeper than owning a striking and stylish motor yacht – it also means you are part of a global family of like-minded luxury motor yacht owners,” he said. “Our family members enjoy a vast array special Experience voyages cruising in company of fellow Riviera or Belize owners to idyllic destinations around Australia and New Zealand, and indeed right around the world.” The fantastic Riviera Experience cruising and fishing destinations in Australia include the turquoise waters of the Whitsunday, Lady Musgrave Island and Moreton Bay in Queensland, picturesque Sydney Harbour, Pittwater and the Myall Lakes in New South Wales, Refuge Bay and Port Phillip Bay in Victoria, Kangaroos Island and Port Lincoln in South Australia, Geographe Bay and Rottnest Island in Western Australia as well as bluewater passages from Auckland in New Zealand, including beautiful Motuihe Island. Mr Longhurst said these special events were staged in conjunction with Riviera’s worldwide dealer network that spans some 60 countries and every continent of the world, and specifically in Australia and New Zealand through the R Marine network – the largest luxury motor yacht dealer network in the Southern Hemisphere. “Riviera and our dealers also conduct regular educational workshops and seminars to give our owners the skills and confidence to experience everything from weekend harbour and coastal cruising to extended coastal passages,” he said. “One great event is the Riviera Festival of Boating each May at our 14-hectare Coomera facility where we stage over 70 free educational and fun social events across four days right in the heart of the Gold Coast International Marine Expo (19-22 May 2016). “Now in its fifth year, Riviera’s festival of fun and learning is every bit as much about honing the skills of experienced boaters, as it is introducing new people to the joys and rewards of the boating life.” “The seminars span understanding the weather, emergency essentials, offshore navigation and provisioning to motor yacht engine and equipment maintenance and tricks of the trade, to name just a few.” “We also conduct fully narrated factory tours by train of Riviera – the largest luxury motor yacht manufacturing facility in the Southern Hemisphere.” pindaramagazine.com.au Pindara Magazine 93
