Meet the Riviera Americas Team
Stuart, Florida, USA: It’s been almost 12 months since our highly talented and very experienced Riviera team started working out of our new Americas office at Sailfish Marina in Stuart, Florida … and it’s been an extremely busy time.
International Sales Director Chris McCafferty
Charged with responsibility for owner care and dealer support for the Americas, Europe, North Africa and Middle Eastern markets, the team shares Riviera’s renowned ethos of excellence that is reflected in every part of every new luxury motor yacht built at our world-class facility on the Gold Coast of Queensland, Australia.
Led by international sales director Chris McCafferty, the Florida team works very closely with Riviera and Belize dealers worldwide to deliver the special support and reassurance enjoyed by owners for the lifetime of their yachts, and for which Riviera is internationally renowned.
“Stuart’s ease of access to the Atlantic Ocean makes this the perfect place to service members of our global family of Riviera and Belize owners and provide support for our extensive network of dealers that now spans some 60 countries and every continent of the world,” says Mr McCafferty, who spends over 50 per cent of his time travelling and representing Riviera and Belize at major international boat shows.
“The entire team is absolutely focused on helping Riviera and Belize owners to enjoy all the rich and rewarding benefits that the boating life has to offer.
“This commitment extends beyond superior after-sales care to also include regular educational and fun-filled social events, as well as special experiences and rendezvous events cruising with confidence in the company of like-minded people.
“Assisting our owners to gain the skills and confidence needed to use their yachts to their full potential – and to celebrate in true Riviera style – is an integral part of our philosophy of creating ‘the ultimate boating experience’.”
