Boating enthusiasts and holidaymakers in East Gippsland and beyond have a unique opportunity to explore the spectacular Gippsland Lakes thanks to Riviera Nautic, one of Australia’s most recognised charter and boating operators.
Based in Metung at the eastern end of the Lakes, Riviera Nautic provides a range of boating experiences that cater to both seasoned sailors and first–time boaties.
Riviera Nautic is widely acclaimed in the tourism industry, having been inducted into both the Australian Tourism Hall of Fame and the Victorian Tourism Hall of Fame for its commitment to quality, safety and customer service. The company’s diverse fleet of yachts, motor cruisers and day boats offers holidaymakers the chance to enjoy the southern hemisphere’s largest inland waterway without needing a boat licence
or prior experience.
Visitors can charter a range of vessels — from cosy day boats for short excursions to fully equipped yachts and cruisers designed for multi–day holidays. Boats are maintained to high standards and come with thorough safety briefings and 24–hour support throughout the charter, allowing even novice sailors to confidently navigate the Lakes and discover hidden coves, national park shorelines and peaceful waterways.
The Gippsland Lakes provides a safe, sheltered environment ideal for boating, with no tides or reefs and a wide variety of scenic destinations. Dolphins, birdlife and other wildlife are common sights for
guests on the water, making every charter both relaxing and memorable.
Beyond chartering, Riviera Nautic also offers services and supplies for visiting boaties, including on–water fuelling, fishing gear and bait, maps, drinks and other essentials sold at their Metung base. For those interested in investing in the boating lifestyle, the business even provides information on charter boat ownership and investment opportunities.
