Australian luxury motor yacht manufacturer Riviera has appointed Freedom Marine International Yacht Sales as its representative in Canada.
Freedom Marine will offer the complete range of Riviera yachts from 39 to 78 feet (12 to 24 metres) from its two offices in Coal Harbour, Vancouver and Port Sidney Marina on Vancouver Island.
“We’re pleased to welcome Freedom Marine to the Riviera global dealership network,’’ says Riviera owner Rodney Longhurst.
“Freedom Marine has been operating in Vancouver since 1997. We share the same values when it comes to creating the ultimate boating experience for our motor yacht owners. We look forward to the Freedom team supporting our many Canadian owners and welcoming new owners to the Riviera family.”
Freedom Marine vice president Denis Barnard says the Freedom Marine team is known for its after-sales care.

“In addition to giving new Riviera owners all the delivery and handover briefing and training they require, we connect them with our preferred service teams and include access to world-class boathouses in both office locations.”
In 2023, Freedom Marine was awarded Best Aftersales Support out of 73 global Axopar dealers. Revolution Yacht Experience, Freedom Marine’s service division, specialises in commissioning, maintenance and equipment installation.
“Freedom Marine is the only yacht dealership in British Columbia with multiple boathouses between 55 and 75 feet (17 and 23 metres), which provide a clean and fully enclosed environment for service, maintenance and repairs,” says Barnard.
The Freedom Marine team has nine yacht sales representatives, including Greg Andrew, who was recently appointed and has over 15 years of experience working with Riviera yachts.
Freedom Marine is ranked number one in Canada for boats sold between 35 and 180 feet (11 and 55 metres).
“We’re honoured to be representing Riviera Yachts in Canada,” says Barnard. “With so many long-term Riviera owners boating here, we are keen to assist with any service we can.
“We pride ourselves in putting our customers’ needs first in every decision that we make, and we look forward to supporting Riviera owners and welcoming more Canadians to the Riviera family.”
