Australia’s Riviera to showcase at 2024 Cannes Yachting Festival

Riviera will showcase the adventurous 465 and 505 SUVs and the sophisticated 4600 Sport Yacht Platinum Edition at the Cannes Yachting Festival from September 10 to 15.

Riviera Australia owner Rodney Longhurst said Riviera and its European dealer representatives are delighted to display these yachts from the collection of over 20 magnificent models from 39 to 78 feet, where more than 6000 yachts launched by Riviera all share a 44-year history of evolution.  

Mr Longhurst said: “We are immensely proud that Riviera has developed a respected and growing reputation as the boater’s boat in Europe since our first yacht was delivered to the region in 1985. 

“Visitors to our display will be able to experience the supreme luxury, meticulous craftsmanship and ease of boating that has earned Riviera international regard. This is exemplified in superbly appointed accommodation decks and skilfully designed saloon decks that offer fine alfresco living and entertaining. Boating with Riviera has never been more pleasurable or relaxing.”

The 465 and 505 SUVs share a heritage that combines the spirited blue-water performance of the Riviera Sports Motor Yacht collection with the single-level entertaining ease of the Riviera Sport Yachts. Both models share design features of an expansive cockpit ideal for water-sports and entertaining, a semi-enclosed alfresco deck that is the yacht’s social centre and a foredeck perfectly suited for relaxed Mediterranean days at anchor. The alfresco deck on both yachts leads seamlessly to a light-filled saloon featuring a gourmet galley aft, the helm immediately forward with lounge and dining opposite.
