Riviera world releases at Sanctuary Cove Boat Show

by Denby Browning on 20 Mar 2008 Three world releases will highlight Riviera’s display at the annual Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show on Queensland’s Gold Coast in May.

Riviera will unveil the luxurious Riviera 61 Enclosed Flybridge with four cabins, three bathrooms and a massive 'entertainer' flybridge. A second world release is the 38 Open Flybridge while the show will also see the Australian debut of the 'sport utility' 48 Offshore Express. 'Fascination IV', an enclosed hardtop version of this new craft will be on display, fully equipped for big game fishing. Queensland show goers will also have their first chance to see the exciting Riviera 4400 Sport Yacht with Volvo Penta IPS propulsion.

Riviera CEO Wes Moxey said: 'Our ongoing commitment to innovation and development is paying strong dividends for the company. Our new models are well accepted in all our markets worldwide and particularly at home in Australia. We are very excited about the Sanctuary Cove show and what we are able to offer.'

Grand Banks has selected Riviera’s R Marine display at the Show for the world release of the Grand Banks 65 Aleutian RP model. The R Marine display includes a total of five Grand Banks and seven Princess models, the largest display of these iconic international brands seen in Australia.

Tim Sayer, Managing Director of Riviera’s R Marine retail network, said: 'We are delighted that Grand Banks has chosen R Marine and this Show to launch the new Aleutian model.'

Riviera will also have a comprehensive display of its Flybridge range, from the 33 Open Flybridge to Enclosed 47, 51 and 56 models as well as the full range of Sport Yachts – including the multi-award-winning 4700 Sport Yacht - and Sport Cruisers.

Sayer said: 'As well as the Grand Banks 65 RP world release, R Marine will have a Grand Banks 72 Aleutian RP for the first time in Australia, a 59 Aleutian RP, a 47 Heritage EU and 45 Eastbay SX model.'

'Our Princess display will show the new V70 Sport Yacht for the first time in Australia as well as a new 62 Flybridge model among its seven-boat collection.'

Riviera Syndication is offering the final shares in a Riviera 45 Open Flybridge based at Hamilton Island as well as a 3600 Sport Yacht now based at Sanctuary Cove. R Style will have a large range of Riviera clothing available for show visitors to purchase.
