Riviera is the largest and most respected luxury boat building company in Australia and a major player in the global marine industry. Today, the company builds about 100 boats each year across four lines: Flybridge, Sport Yachts, Motor Yachts and Offshore Express models.
Starting in a small factory in northern Sydney in 1980, Riviera now operates from the largest luxury boat building facility in the Southern Hemisphere, a 14-hectare state-of-the-art waterfront site at Coomera on Queensland's Gold Coast. The company employs more than 400 craftspeople and now exports about 50 percent of our annual production to a Dealer Network that now spans more than 30 countries on every continent around the world.
The name Riviera is synonymous around the world with quality, style, innovation, sea keeping ability and value and the company's primary objective is to continue to deliver outstanding boating options to its ever-increasing owner base.
Riviera is focused on delivering exciting new models and fresh innovation in terms of the design, performance, interior fitout and quality of our boats. To achieve this, the company invests millions of dollars each year in technologies, the skills of our staff and our production capabilities.
The company employs the latest CAD/CAM (computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacture) technologies to develop and mould our boats. Closed moulding technologies are increasingly used to manufacture components, ensuring superior quality, consistency and strength. A high technology automatic varnish system, operating in an entirely dust-free environment, is used on interior joinery, ensuring consistently high quality. These technologies also improve the working environment and reduce emissions.
