Nothing says luxury quite like a yacht. Whilst Australian Made is a mark of pride for many manufacturers, the yacht-making tradition is especially important for a nation founded on and so fond of the water. These builders have been helping Australians and others all over the world enjoy sunny days on the sea for decades.
RIVIERA
Since 1980, Riviera have been refining their design, even winning Modern Boating’s Boat of the Year honours three consecutive years in the ’90s. The innovation didn’t stop there. “When I bought Riviera, my vision absolutely was to make it one of the great names in boating and to be outstanding in every aspect of the boating lifestyle,” chairman Rodney Longhurst, who acquired the company in 2012, said.
MARITIMO
Maritimo note that Australia’s near 32,000 nautical miles of coastline and position on the Indian, Southern, and Pacific oceans make it a natural spot for great boat builders to arise. Founder Bill Barry-Cotter, who also established Riviera, brought his yacht-building skills to Maritimo’s now 11 models. All exhibit a uniquely Australian flair with long-range capabilities to withstand the toughest seas.
HORIZON YACHT
Advanced technology such as a computer numerical control (CNC) milling system covers more than 45 metres per minute with precision stopping, making for clean lines that are efficient and aesthetically pleasing. Horizon’s composites resin infusion moulding and vacuum assisted process result in lighter yet stronger vessels. Interiors are designed using 3D CAD and virtual reality.

SOFT OPENING - CONSUMER CONFIDENCE A KEY FACTOR IN RECOVERY
As states and territories reopened their economies in various phases throughout May and June, it became clear that simply being open is not enough to get firing on all cylinders again. First, there are safety regulations limiting how many patrons a business can serve at a time. Just as important is consumer confidence. If shoppers don’t feel safe visiting a business, they’re not going to, and there’s no forcing them. Some services requiring intimate personal contact have an even harder time with this. Just because someone can get a massage doesn’t mean they’re comfortable with it.

COMING OUT OF OUR CAVES - LIFE IN PUBLIC AS RESTRICTIONS EASE
The pubs reopened to great rejoicing and some free beer as coronavirus restrictions eased across Australia, although unfortunately, it was too late for millions of litres of suds that had to be tipped down the drain. It was strange to be out, but it felt good once you got used to it. Rules vary by state and territory, but over the past several weeks, Aussies have been able to dine out, go to holiday homes, and gather in small groups once more. Lockdown isn’t lockdown anymore, but that doesn’t mean “normal” is back. Here’s where things stand.
