LIVE AND LEARN

Each May, the shipyard hosts the Riviera Festival of Boating, which is intended to help Riviera boat owners become better boaters. The yard offers seminars and on-water workshops, covering everything from systems and processes to driving, docking and radar. Attendees also can take tours of the facility so they can gain a better understanding about how their boats are built. The festival is scheduled to coincide with the Sanctuary Cove Boat Show, which usually has more than 300 exhibitors and 600 boats.
