Riviera 53 sales success in WA
Sandgropers love the new Riviera 53 Enclosed Flybridge,Riviera’s exclusive Western Australia dealer, R Marine Perth, has just delivered the first of three brand new 53 Enclosed Flybridges.
R Marine Perth dealer principal Brendon Grieve and owner care manager Tim Wright went to Bunbury in late-March to help unload two new 53s from the ship delivering these beauties from the east coast.
“Together with one of the new owners, we steamed the vessels a comfortable 80 nautical miles from Bunbury’s Inner Harbour, hugging the coast to Fremantle where they were commissioned at Northport for handover,” Brendon said.
“The new owners of the first 53 delivered here in Perth were absolutely ecstatic when they saw their boat. Kevin, a young 75-year old, has waited six weeks for his new Riviera to be delivered, making it his third Riviera.
“Most of our owners use their boats for cruising around Rottnest Island and sometimes they venture to the Abrolhos Islands, 400 kilometres north of Fremantle,” Grieves said.
Kevin and Heather Foley have previously owned a Riviera 43 and 48 and were really impressed when they saw the 53 at the 2011 Sydney International Boat Show.
Kevin said the 53 was a boat that you could easily live aboard.
“We will probably spend a bit of time on her even when we are at the yacht club,” Foley said.
“The hull window in the master suite is lovely. I like just lying there looking out over the top of the water’s edge, it’s the perfect way to unwind after a week of work. The barbecue facilities in the cockpit will certainly encourage us to entertain more.
The couple have three sons and four grand-children who also enjoy boating.
“It does bring the family together and Heather absolutely loves the galley because it is so well set out. This would be the best galley I have ever seen on a boat,” Kevin said.
Among the other reasons sighted for the 53’s success in WA is the big cockpit. Sandgropers like them extended for entertaining and outdoor pursuits. The full-beam master cabin with island king size bed and plenty of head room is another great feature.
R Marine Perth has had a very busy season, we’re told, delivering a 43 Open Flybridge, 4400 Sport Yacht Series II, a 5800 Sport Yacht and two 53 Enclosed Flybridges to new members of the Riviera family. More at R Marine Perth, info@rmarineperth.com.au, phone (08) 9339 8877.
