How to Enter:
Over the coming months, every submitted photo will enter the competition for the chance to win the exclusive prize. The winner will be determined by our readers voting for their favourite image from the submission gallery that we will publish in our August issue. The winner will be announced in our September issue.
Terms & Conditions:
Join us on the journey as we follow this fleet of Riviera motor yachts from our world-class 16.8-hectare manufacturing facility on the Gold Coast, Australia, to their new home ports and soon to become a proud centrepiece of life on the water for their owners.
Riviera and our European representatives look forward to welcoming Riviera owners and admirers at our on-water showcase at the 2025 Cannes Yachting Festival from September 9 to 14.
Desolation Sound is a name that might cause any boater to stay well away. Yet it is one of the most popular and beautiful summer destinations in the Strait of Georgia that separates Canada’s western mainland from the island of Vancouver.
Riviera has brought together three powerful on-board systems to provide owners with new levels of security and connectivity with their yacht.
