        Maximise the retail value of your boat

        R Marine Sydney Maximize the Value of Your Boat - Get The Tips Here!

        Maintaining and upgrading your boat will keep it in top-notch condition, allowing it to reach its full potential. Not to mention, it will be more valuable when the time comes to put it up for sale!

        Check out these straightforward strategies to boost the worth of your boat!

        Make regular maintenance your priority and keep your service records organised

        Ensure that you adhere to the recommended service protocols, including key tasks like washing your boat frequently and antifouling it annually. Keeping your vessel in top condition will help it reach its full potential. Most importantly, keep meticulous records of all services – which is crucial, not only for your boat’s well-being, but also if you ever decide to sell your boat.

        Refresh your covers

        Protection from the sun, wind, and rain – the primary causes of damage – is essential for your boat. When selecting a canvas or cover, be sure to invest in something that is sturdy and complements your boat’s appearance. To optimize the look of your vessel, take into account its shape, colour, and size when shopping for the right cover. On flybridge vessels, replacing clears with new ones can give a striking makeover and make your boat stand out from the other options available. Aesthetics go a long way to attracting buyers.

        Upgrade the interior

        The upholstery on boats can be one of the quickest parts to deteriorate. The harsh sun and reflections from the water can wear away the fabric, causing it to fade with time. To add to its resale value, why not consider replacing the upholstery with some fresh fabric before you sell? It’ll give your boat a youthful new look.

        New teak deck

        The timeless appeal of teak decking not only elevates the style of a vessel, but also enhances its value. Sturdy enough to withstand even the harshest of marine conditions, teak is known to be one of the longest lasting woods available. While replacing a teak deck may be a big undertaking, the comfort and aesthetic that it adds are well worth the effort.

        Get the latest in boat technology

        Technology is ever-evolving, allowing us to stay connected and enjoy lightning-fast internet even in the most remote of places. Installing modern electronic features on your boat will not only make your journeys smoother and safer, but it can also add a touch of comfort and luxury.

          “From the point of view of your dealership I was astounded by the professionalism shown and wonder as to what level of service could be expected when purchasing a million dollar boat if the service we received when purchasing a second hand vessel was so fabulous. This is our fourth Riviera and along with three other cruisers we have dealt with a number of brokers from the good to the very stupid and I can attest that Riviera Sales, Rushcutters Bay are so far in front of the rest, it is remarkable. The attention to detail both small and large was incredible, the boat being presented clean and ready to go, the beautiful engraved plaque in our name and the ‘nothing is too much trouble’ attitude are attributes rarely found in today’s market place.”

          Gregory I Freeman and Mary Freeman, Queensland

          “...an amazing experience. Thanks so much for helping us make this happen - I am so proud to be finally part of the Riv community.”

          Scott Sach

          “Eva and I would like to convey our sincere appreciation to all at Riviera Sales Rushcutters Bay, who very professionally and caringly assisted us through the total sales process with our purchase of ‘Plan-B’.
          As you are aware we are being assisted by Riviera Sales in rectifying a few minor problems which recently became evident and unlike some other sales companies that adopt an attitude of “we’ve got your money see you later” Riviera after sales service and caring attitude is very impressive to the point where we are not only encouraged to come back to Riviera Sales but also to inform our many friends of our good experience.”

          Phillip and Eva Southcombe, New South Wales

          “Firstly, I have been so seriously impressed with all of my dealings with your organisation. All matters have been handled with the utmost professionalism and courtesy. Nothing is a problem and a client, like me, gets the very clear feeling that you can always rely on solid ‘after sales service’. You have it down right and it is very refreshing.”

          Ken J Stevens, New South Wales

          “Clare and I would also like to take this opportunity to extend our thanks for all your excellent help and service. We have had more than our fair share of dealings with boat brokers so we are more than qualified to judge you are an exception to the rule!
          Everyone in your organization was helpful. It was most unfortunate that the first boat fell through but it turned out for the best and we appreciated [the salesman's] integrity and obvious concern in difficult circumstances. His attention to detail was exemplary and our boat was handed over to us in immaculate condition and he spent a very long time arranging everything and explaining it all to us personally.”

          Clare and Ian Fraser, Queensland

          “We cannot speak highly enough of the whole Riviera experience, from the day we walked in the door to actually receiving the boat. It’s rare in this day and age to go through a whole experience without finding something to fault, however our experience with you achieved this.”

          John and Chrisn Hickey, Victoria

          “First of all I would like to thank you for the respect you showed me and your professionalism. You went out of your way arranging numerous details for me regarding the Riviera 38; picking me up from my hotel, arranging the boat lift and sea trial and even organizing a day at the Sydney Boat Show. [Thank you for] recommending Sam Wood a skipper, to bring my boat from Sydney NSW to Buddina Qld. The boat arrived in pristine condition.

          I would highly recommend anyone looking to buy or sell a Riviera to contact you direct.

          Once again thank you.”

          Adam Ashby

          “I felt I was treated with the utmost courtesy and professionalism at all stages and it was and still is a pleasure to deal with you and your team.”

          Michael Dane, New South Wales

          “We really appreciate the ‘extra mile’ that all at Riviera have taken to get us a replacement boat so quickly- particularly at this busy Christmas period.
          As previous Riviera owners we appreciated your build quality and continuous design improvements and wish to make special mention of the team at Rushcutters Bay who are very professional sales consultants-very helpful and knowledgeable without being ‘pushy’; it is a pleasure doing business with them.”
