The pulse of Riviera is their innovation. The roots began in Sydney, Australia, with just one—the 38 MKI model, which in 1980 got the ball, or boats - rolling. One year later, with hopes for much more they situated themselves in the Gold Coast, Queensland. They were producing just eight boats a year with a team of five.
Then the expansion slowly started gaining speed as a dozen of their new models (in the 80s) were born and shipped to both the US and Europe, where their excellence was gaining track. Flip forward to the 1990s, Modern Boating’s Boat of the Year award was given to three of their new models and for three years straight!

The company takes pride in their state-of-the-art digital kitting for perfect cutting of moulds. Their precision joinery takes a regular cabinets to a new level being hand built by master craftsmen. You’ll quickly see the superior high gloss, water and fade resisted finish as Riviera ensures that each mould is inspected thoroughly before the isopthalic gelcoat is sprayed on. Riviera features a sleek exterior obtained by their closed moulding technique to manufacture small parts which require lighter weight and high quality finishes. Each yacht’s rich timber finish is made possible by a robotic varnish machine, utilizing a humidified drying room. This cures the painted surface and then up to five gorgeous coats of varnish get painted on. Another standard in the Riviera build is their immense durability as the hulls are hand-laid with multi or quad fiberglass matting over core materials. It is then locked in and sealed with vinyl ester resin—creating a perfect combo to withstand water absorption.
The list continues as we outline the reasons why so many boaters choose the Riviera yacht as their chosen boat. Let’s not forget her handcrafted strength as her hand-laid fiberglass construction is superior in strength - by far - to all other methods.
This leads to a reassuring hull structure, as the hull and deck surface finishes of the Riviera possess superb impact resistance. A 20 mm thick finished hull is the norm with these solid fiberglass boats that are strong below the waterline, providing assurance of great strength.
They also have bragging rights for their enduring strength as most of the yacht is manufactured from glass reinforced plastic (GRP) which also adds service life to each one built.
