Australian luxury motor yacht builder Riviera will present multiple European premieres at the Cannes Yachting Festival from 10 to 15 September.
Cannes Yachting Festival will be the first chance for boating enthusiasts in Europe to step aboard the 39 Open Flybridge, Riviera’s new motor yacht under 40-feet, and the 545 SUV.
Riviera will also showcase its widely acclaimed 5400 Sport Yacht, which has already won countless admirers as a superb single-level entertainer and is now being offered in the superb new Platinum Edition.
Riviera owner Rodney Longhurst said the Cannes Yachting Festival was a prime opportunity to introduce the spectacular trio of luxury motor yachts.
“For almost 40 years Riviera has helped make boating dreams come true for motor yacht owners the world over and I know that tradition will continue at Cannes in September,” he said.
“Our 600-strong team is constantly refining our luxury motor yachts and the boats we will have on display will present three fine examples from our comprehensive 20-model range from 39 to 72 feet across five individual model collections.
“Europeans have always had a great appreciation for the built-to-last qualities of our yachts, their luxury and incredible sea-keeping capabilities. Our team are certainly looking forward to showcasing our very latest models in Cannes.”
Mr Longhurst said the family of owners had grown consistently since Riviera’s first luxury motor yacht arrived in Europe in 1985.
“Today there are almost 5,600 Riviera owners cruising the great lakes, rivers, seas and oceans of the world who all enjoy being a part of a very special global family,” he said.
“The Riviera yachts being crafted today represent the finest calibre we have launched in the past 39 years – with our legendary blue water heritage and enduring craftsmanship, a Riviera of today embraces the latest boat-building techniques, uses only the finest materials, employs the very latest technology and offers brilliant design and detail that set Riviera apart as one of the world’s great luxury motor yacht builders.
“Our new Sports Motor Yacht Collection, Platinum Edition Sport Yachts and growing SUV and Belize Collections all reflect the pride and passion of our 600-strong team of master craftsmen. At the Cannes Yachting Festival 2019, Riviera is very proud to premiere our 39 Open Flybridge and 545 SUV.”
