Every week staff at Riviera’s Gold Coast headquarters put the finishing touches to luxury motor yachts and send them off to their new home ports around the world.
Don’t miss this rare chance to take a look inside Riviera’s luxury yacht-building facility on Australia’s Gold Coast.
Riviera’s 950-strong staff celebrate the delivery of our 6000th motor yacht.
Riviera will open the gates of its world-class production facility at Coomera on Australia’s Gold Coast to the public as part of the inaugural World Boating Day celebrations on May 25.
The 90-minute escorted behind-the-scenes tour, which starts at 11am, will offer guests a rare glimpse into Riviera’s luxury yacht building operations.
The company’s 16-hectare site within the Gold Coast Marine Precinct is the largest dedicated motor yacht-building facility in the southern hemisphere. The Gold Coast facility is home to more than 950 world-leading craftspeople who come together to build around 150 luxury motor yachts each year.
“Over our proud 44-year history, we have launched more than 6,000 motor yachts that today are cruising the great rivers, lakes, seas and oceans of the world. For more than four decades, we have proudly developed the careers of hundreds of master craftspeople’’ Riviera owner Rodney Longhurst said.
“Our world-class motor yacht collection ranges from 39 to 78 feet in length and spans four individual designs – Sport Yacht, SUV, Sports Motor Yacht and our flagship 78 Motor Yacht.
“We look forward to welcoming everyone to Riviera on World Boating Day.’’

The Superyacht Life Foundation’s World Boating Day (May 25 – 26, 2024) is a new initiative aimed at showcasing the boating industry’s everyday operations to a fresh audience.
World Boating Day is a non-profit event aimed at making the boating industry more accessible. By facilitating local events on a global scale, World Boating Day organisers believe that it allows people outside the industry to get a glimpse of just how vibrant the world of boating is, and to entice more people to go boating or consider a rewarding career in the industry.
Eight associations throughout the world – International Council of Marine Industry Associations, the International Superyacht Society, Superyacht Australia, the Asia-Pacific Superyacht Association, the European Boating Industry, the Boating Industry Association, the US Superyacht Association and the Zeal Marinas Network have all committed to support the event.
The ultimate boating experience starts with the hard work of our team of discerning craftspeople.
