Riviera’s director of brand and communications Stephen Milne said this was a tremendous result and proof the luxury boat market was gaining confidence and momentum in both Australia and the United States.

“February has truly been an amazing month for Riviera and marks yet another positive step forward for our company, which has launched and sold more than 4,960 boats in our rich 32 year history,” Mr Milne said.

“The recent Miami International Yacht and Brokerage Show was one of our best US boat show results for Riviera in more than four years.  At Miami this year, we showcased our new 53 Enclosed Flybridge for the first time and announced our new 63 Enclosed Flybridge, of which we sold two new builds off the plan at the show, a fantastic achievement for our company.”

Riviera’s brand strength and superior design and build quality continues to defy industry sales trends. The yachts sold in February are destined for owners in Australia, the US and Latin America. The models sold in February were two 4400 Sport Yacht Series IIs, one 47 Enclosed Flybridge yacht, one 43 Open Flybridge yacht, five 5000 Sport Yachts, two 63 Enclosed Flybridge yachts and two 53 Enclosed Flybridges.
