In Miami, Riviera’s director of brand and communications Stephen Milne said he was very grateful to the US team for their great commitment and passion they have shown towards displaying Riviera at the show.

“I was on our new 53 Enclosed Flybridge for a lot of the time during the show and the compliments on space utilisation, design and quality of finish were extremely gratifying. In fact many people commented that our new 53 was the most innovative boat on display at Miami,” Mr Milne said.

“The results from the show have been conclusive in endorsing the Riviera brand strength internationally and the standout design of our boats. With the US market showing encouraging signs of bouncing back, 2012 is shaping up to be the best Miami Show result for Riviera in more than four years.”

Among the sales were two 63 Enclosed Flybridge yachts, two 53 Enclosed Flybridge yachts, one 43 Open Flybridge and one 5000 Sport Yacht.

“These boats are bound for diverse boating destinations including, Puerto Rico, Miami, and Maryland.  We have several more sales that expect to finalise pending sea trials that will be conducted later this week In Miami. We are certainly excited with the level of attention our boats continue to attract in the giant US market despite the prevailing market conditions, competitive brands and the current exchange rates we face,” Mr Milne said.

Riviera Yachts USA director Chris McCafferty said the five day show was a huge success for Riviera and he congratulated the effort made by all the dealers and their representatives.

“The results from the show speak for themselves and I can honestly say that we should be very proud of the team in the US for ensuring all the boats on display looked first class,” Mr McCafferty said.

“These significant results are testament to Riviera’s impeccable quality, design features and ‘built-to-last’ philosophy.”

“The combination of these exciting new world class models and new additions to our dealer network will put Riviera in very good stead in the US as the boating market continues to recover.”

Riviera CEO John Anderson said the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show would make a convincing statement to the US market following the challenges faced by the marine industry in the midst of the global financial crisis last year.

It has been a challenging 12 months for the whole boating industry.  And Riviera has embraced change and faced the challenge head on, releasing new models all bearing Riviera’s hallmark styling and impeccable multi-award winning build quality.

“To have sold 40 new boats over the past eight weeks between the Sanctuary Cove and Sydney shows is a tremendous result for the Riviera brand, our loyal owners and our dedicated staff and dealers,” Mr Anderson said.

“In June 2010, the company announced it had officially exited Administration, so our focus is clearly directed to rebuilding the business and making it even stronger.

“We have 400 people on site right now building boats and we are actively recruiting new staff.  Our global sales for the first half of 2010 have increased by 17 per cent, resulting in an average sales run-rate of two-and-a-half new boats per week since the 2009 Fort Lauderdale Show.

“Riviera has introduced a new production line and commenced a recruitment drive for new staff to assist with the ramp up of production to meet the growth in new boat sales.

“In the US Riviera is extremely well known for our range of Flybridge boats but this year Fort Lauderdale will pave the way for us to be equally well known for our innovative Sport Yacht range, which is expanding Riviera’s appeal because of the allure of this design to the cruising market.”
