In an historic milestone, iconic Australian luxury motor yacht builder Riviera launched its 6,000th motor yacht at its world-class production facility on Queensland’s Gold Coast on Monday 29 April 2024.
The 950-strong Riviera team, all sporting exclusive shirts to commemorate this triumphant achievement, formed a guard of honour to mark the distinguished launch.
The yacht, an iridium silver-hulled 5400 Sport Yacht Platinum Edition, will be delivered to long-time Sydney Australia based Riviera owners Peter and Denise Haig. The couple have owned 10 Riviera yachts since their first, a 38 Open Flybridge.
Addressing the assembled team, Peter Haig said he’d been a proud Riviera owner since 1988. “The design evolution over the 36 years that I have owned Rivieras has been phenomenal,” he said.
“One of the most important points for me is that Riviera is totally Australian – we’re proud to own a world-class motor yacht that has been designed and built by brilliant and dedicated local craftspeople.”
