The 900-strong team at Riviera has celebrated outstanding teamwork after the success of the recent Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show, and Riviera’s own Festival of Boating, which ran concurrently with the event.
At a special luncheon held at Riviera HQ on the Gold Coast in Queensland, Australia, Riviera Owner Rodney Longhurst praised the entire team for their drive to create the ultimate boating experience for Riviera yacht owners and showcase visitors.
In an address to the assembled team, Rodney said extraordinary teamwork was required to prepare the largest showcase of new motor yachts at the show, and to create an inspiring atmosphere for visitors from across Australia and around the world.
"My belief over the past 11 years of ownership is that through our unity, we are smarter and harder-working and as a result, we can create greatness that our yacht owners truly appreciate."

“My belief over the past 11 years of ownership is that through our unity, we are smarter and harder-working and as a result, we can create greatness that our yacht owners truly appreciate. And you have done just that – not only in the lead-up to the show, and over the four days, but every day you come to work here at Coomera.
“The world premiere of 585 SUV was outstanding, and our fleet of 11 Sport Yachts, Sports Motor Yachts, SUVs and flagship Motor Yachts from 39 to 78 feet, was the finest we have ever displayed. On the opening day of the show, we also announced our next new model that will premiere in late 2023, the magnificent 58 Sports Motor Yacht.

“Your combined efforts make Riviera a world-class luxury boat builder. And it’s everyone here, the laminators, the engineers, electricians and boat builders, our receptionists, customer care team and the many people who work behind the scenes to help create our excellence. Every position and every place, you are all a part of what makes Riviera special. And that’s what makes it a family for our owners and for us – our team here onsite. This is something that we should all be extremely proud of.
“Please applaud yourselves, for you are the ones who are creating our future. You are the team who is truly making Riviera world class. You are always appreciated, you are always respected and highly regarded by me, and the entire senior team, each and every day,” Rodney said.

Appreciation for the Riviera team was also expressed by Riviera owners during and following the 2023 Boat Show.
“It’s just nice to see details getting better every time. Details of the design and details of the interior. It’s very nice to watch that happening,” said Jacky from Thailand.
“The best part of having a Riviera is the follow-up service, it’s amazing. Whether you have a new boat or a second-hand boat. Once you have a Riviera boat you’re part of the family. They make you feel so welcome, there is so much to learn and they are there to help you every step of the way. I just love it,” said Kristie and Dale from Australia.
