Everything from distinctive clothing and dinnerware to an impressive $150,000 marine electronics display will fascinate boat owners at Riviera’s Experience Centre.

Australia’s largest luxury boat builder, Riviera, has just reopened the Experience Centre following a refurbishment.  The Experience Centre is based at the company’s world class manufacturing facility at Coomera on the Gold Coast.

As you step inside the Experience Centre you will be in awe of the thousands of colour and fabric samples on offer in the interior design studio.

Resident interior designer, Vivienne Sales, has helped hundreds of Riviera owners with their interior colour selections over the past seven years.

Vivienne is available for appointments to discuss your personal needs and help you select your interior décor from bedspreads, soft furnishings and blinds to quality crafted dinnerware and cutlery.

Customers are offered a unique buying experience with friendly and qualified staff happy to help, whether it is refitting or upgrading an existing boat, choosing an interior décor for a brand new boat or selecting a suite of state of the art navigation equipment.

The electronics department is second to none with everything from desalination equipment, thermal image cameras, personal safety aids to the latest in technology, such as flat screen televisions, on board entertainment systems and underwater lights.

R Electronics managing director Errol Cain has fitted electronics to thousands of power boats and has been associated with Riviera for more than 25 years.

He said the Experience Centre was designed as the ‘whole boating experience’.

“There is no where else that has the range that the Experience Centre has and it is designed primarily for Riviera owners, however we also cater to owners of other boat brands,” he said.

“We can customise your boat from the Experience Centre, giving it the personalised touch – people can come here to be immersed in the Riviera lifestyle.”

Store Manager Robyn Collins said people could choose from a huge selection of matching accessories for any boat from high quality unbreakable (clear polycarborate  Strahl) embossed glassware to modern, brushed photo frames and  wine coolers.

“There is a range of matching dinnerware including bowls, plates, platters, cutlery and glassware,” she said.

For the bathroom there are plush Egyptian cotton towels and handtowels, as well as luxurious monogrammed bath robes.

The full range of men’s, women’s and children’s clothing is uniquely created by Riviera’s designers and includes sunglasses, shoes, dress shirts, spray jackets and hats all sporting the distinctive Riviera motif.

There is also a spare parts service catering for those boat owners who are upgrading or refurbishing their boats or simply need to replace a part.

The Experience Centre is open from Monday to Thursday, 10am to 5pm and Friday 8am to 12pm or any time by appointment.
