The month of April 2011 was an exciting one for Grand Banks Australia with 9 boats taking part in the first regatta since taking over distribution of the brand.
One Riviera couple, Raymond and Loraine Hind cruised for two hours along the coast to Rottnest Island to meet up with fellow Riviera owners for lunch.
Tim said he would normally spend his summer over at Rottnest so working for R Marine Perth’s support crew during the Christmas holidays is like a working holiday but it does have its downside.
Boats currently offered for sale include a Riviera 3600 Sport Yacht and 4700 Sport Yacht at Sanctuary Cove, and a Riviera 45 Flybridge from Hamilton Island.
International exhibitors have claimed the quality of prospective buyers at the 23rd Sanctuary Cove Boat Show was the best they have seen in 10 years
During the show Maritimo entertained a large contingent of dealers and customers from the USA and the result was encouraging with orders for the M48 Motoryacht, Mustang 50 and 440 Offshore Convertible.
“JD’s Boatshed is an excellent dealer to stock and sell the Yamaha brand,” said Brett Hampson, National Sales Manager for Yamaha Outboards.
Graaf Marine’s Rob de Graaf said this new model would be a fantastic weekender for Australians with so many short-hop destinations available up and down our coasts.
Riviera CEO John Anderson said Riviera dealers around the world organised these experiences to encourage Riviera owners to explore new waterways, meet new friends and gain confidence in their boats.
