Registrations open for Riviera Festival

Get in early for the largest-ever festival of fun and learning in May
Registrations are now open for the Riviera Festival Boating in May. With a greater focus on broadening the boating knowledge and skills of luxury motor yacht owners, Riviera’s 2016 educational program is the Festival’s most expansive ever.
This year the marque will present over 110 informative and very hands-on workshops spread over four days to build boating safety and confidence, including 17 new workshops.

Organisers say that many of the Festival’s popular workshops have been fully refreshed, providing ever greater in-depth training in specific areas of nautical interest.

"The Riviera Festival of Boating is open to all luxury motor yacht owners, and aspiring owners," said Riviera’s owner and chairman Rodney Longhurst.

"It doesn’t matter if you are brand-new to luxury motor yacht ownership or you have been enjoying it all your life, even the most experienced offshore skippers will discover something new and informative at this year’s Riviera Festival of Boating," he said.

"Popular workshops will be presented multiple times over the four fun days – hands-on practical sessions on the water in the mornings and theory in air-conditioned comfort in the afternoons – but places are limited, so we are urging visitors to book now to avoid disappointment."

The Riviera Festival of Boating – coinciding with the Gold Coast International Marine Expo from 19-22 May 2016 – draws owners from around Australia and around the world to celebrate and share in all that it is that makes boating with Riviera so unique.

Over the past four years, Riviera’s truly unique Festival has assisted hundreds of motor yacht owners to stretch their sea legs and enjoy more of the rich and rewarding benefits of the luxury life afloat.
This year Riviera takes the exhilaration and enjoyment to inspiring new levels with both introductory and advanced courses to suit all degrees of seamanship and boating knowledge to be presented by nautical trainers with a wealth of boating wisdom and experiences.
Of course, the Festival is just as much about fun and celebration as it is about education and Riviera also invites luxury motor yacht owners to a special Ladies Day at the Festival – Fashion & Fine Food Luncheon at Marina Mirage and Fellini Restorante e Bar, as well as a Saturday night gala cocktail marina party followed by a spectacular dinner show, Viva Las Riviera, to be attended by over 500 guests in a special section of the Riviera factory.

"The 2016 Riviera Festival of Boating promises, as always, to be something truly memorable," said Longhurst.

Registration for the Festival’s educational workshops and social events is essential, and places are limited. Visit FestivalofBoating.com or contact your nearest Riviera and Belize dealer for further information.
