Australia boatbuilder Riviera has appointed Freedom Marine International Yacht Sales as its representative in Canada.

Freedom Marine will offer the complete range of Riviera yachts from 39 to 78 feet from its two offices in Coal Harbour, Vancouver, and Port Sidney Marina on Vancouver Island.

“We are pleased to welcome Freedom Marine to the Riviera global dealership network,’’ says Riviera owner Rodney Longhurst.

“Freedom Marine has been operating in Vancouver since 1997. We share the same values when it comes to creating the ultimate boating experience for our motor yacht owners.

“We look forward to the Freedom team supporting our many Canadian owners and welcoming new owners to the Riviera family.”

Freedom Marine vice president Denis Barnard adds: “In addition to giving new Riviera owners all the delivery and handover briefing and training they require, we connect them with our preferred service teams and include access to world-class boathouses in both office locations.’

“Freedom Marine is the only yacht dealership in British Columbia with multiple boathouses between 55 and 75 feet, which provide a clean and fully enclosed environment for service, maintenance and repairs.’’

60 Riviera yachts and 160 people from Canada and the Pacific Northwest recently attended the 2024 Riviera Roche Harbor Rendezvous.
