R Marine Perth is commencing a new era with the recent appointment of Ryan Lloyd as dealer principal of Western Australia’s exclusive representative for Australia’s premium luxury motor yacht builder Riviera.
Ryan, who joined Riviera after a highly experienced career as general manager of The Haines Group, brings a fresh energy to R Marine Perth enhancing owner care and boating enjoyment of Riviera owners. He is personally invested in R Marine Perth with a clear vision for the future of the dealership.
“R Marine Perth is all about the enjoyment of boating which is in our DNA; we embody it every day and we have a passion for it,” said Ryan, whose love of being out on the water includes years of enjoying barefoot waterskiing.
The R Marine Perth team hosted the first event of 2022 for the dealership, a raft-up on the Swan River with the city skyline as the backdrop. The raft-up at Matilda Bay comprised 33 motor yachts ranging from classic Rivieras to the latest models up to 60-foot, as owners took advantage of a fabulous summer’s day. It was the first on-water event hosted by R Marine Perth in almost two years.
“This is what our owners really enjoy most, getting out on their motor yachts to enjoy the unique boating experience that Western Australia offers,” said Ryan.
“Riviera owner social events are very popular in Western Australia and, as the first for R Marine Perth this year, it was a wonderful day.”
The R Marine Perth event was enjoyed by 400 Riviera owners, their families and friends, some of whom were on their first ever raft-up experience.
Attending her first Riviera event on her 6000 Sport Yacht Platinum Edition, Argyle, was Paula Harry who appreciated the raft-up being held on a Friday while the children were at school. Paula and her husband Adam often spend weekends with their children on their yacht on the Swan River or offshore at Rottnest Island.
Riviera owner Rodney Longhurst congratulated the R Marine Perth team for a magnificent raft-up.
“It was great to see the Riviera family together again for another wonderful event with the team at R Marine Perth,” said Longhurst.
“The care and commitment of Ryan and his team epitomise our philosophy at Riviera to create the ultimate boating experience for our Riviera owners.”
