Riviera has officially opened the Riviera Yacht Club, a private yacht club created as an educational centre exclusively for Riviera owners.
The new club is located on the waterfront at Riviera’s 16.8-hectare manufacturing facility on Australia’s Gold Coast.
The club incorporates an interior design studio where owners can personalise their new yacht, from finishes and soft furnishings to layout options and a onboard accessories.
In addition, a range of events will also be hosted at the yacht club from exclusive training sessions to private new yacht launch events for family and friends.
This will be supported by a structured program of hands-on systems training, practical boating exercises, and equipment simulations, to allow Riviera owners to gain greater knowledge of their motor yacht and their boating.
We are a hard working Australian family company and opening our owners’ yacht club is a big deal for us.

A dedicated interactive electronics and electrical display is also housed within the yacht club to assist with training and equipment and systems selection.
The centre will also become the home for the commissioning of new yachts where Riviera’s Customer Support Team in partnership with Riviera dealerships will undertake vessel familiarisation, orientation and handovers with owners.
At the official opening ceremony, Riviera owner, Rodney Longhurst, welcomed and addressed the VIP guests.
“The same sweat, tears, and drive that has gone into the building of this yacht club is the same as we invest every single day in building our motor yachts. It’s you, our owners, who give us this opportunity to build something different and better, and we love to create and advance,” he said.
Spectacular motor yachts
“We have a drive to build spectacular motor yachts that you all can be extremely proud to own.”
He added: “’I’d like to thank you for all your support. We are a hard working Australian family company and opening our owners’ yacht club is a big deal for us.
“We are committed to creating the greatest possible Riviera owner experience and I hope that you’ll be able to join us many times here in your club and enjoy this facility.
“We want you to have a wonderful Riviera experience here, as well as out on the water.”
