Riviera
Nautic is a multi-award winning business, and one of only
three small businesses in Australia, and the only boating
holiday company, to be inducted into the Australian
Tourism Hall of Fame.
Riviera
Nautic is recognised as one of Australia's leading tourism
businesses, and for our commitment to quality, safety and
service, has been inducted into the Australian Tourism
Hall of Fame
our
boats are chosen for safety, 'forgiveness', comfort and
performance and are maintained to very high standards
we have been introducing people to boating for over twenty years we operate
on the Gippsland Lakes: safe, sheltered waterways that are perfect for learning
to sail the Lakes offer a variety of excellent destinations - national parks
with barbecues and bushwalks, access to the Ninety Mile Beach, small port side
towns and lots more
Because
your boating holiday is so much more than just a bed,
we make sure you can enjoy full days. We count your booking
in days, not nights - that’s a bit different from
booking a motel or flat. But to give you extra value
for money, we invite you to arrive the evening before
your holiday begins, board your boat and stay overnight
at our marina.
This
is FREE. It's a great start to your holiday - no early
morning rush to get here, just a peaceful evening to
settle in and start your holiday in a relaxing way.
On
the final day, you are not due off the boat until 3 pm.(Say
you book for seven days - Monday to Sunday: we invite
you to board on Sunday evening, staying at our marina.
We take you through the briefing on Monday morning, and
the boat is not due back until 3 pm on the following
Sunday.)
Check the difference (and the value
for money)

in Victoria. Metung is at the eastern end of the Lakes
system set on the hills around the sheltered waters of
Bancroft Bay.

to Metung. The boats are in our marina on the left as you
enter Metung, the office on your right. From Melbourne,

door.

Nautic has one of Australia's finest fleets of yachts and
cruisers, and with so many boats to choose from, we can
help you plan the perfect boating holiday.
The
yachts offer everything from exciting challenge to quiet
cruising: for sailors with lots of experience or those
who wish to learn to sail for a lifetime's pleasure. There
are breezes galore, with shelter just around the corner.
The
cruisers are a wonderfully relaxing way to explore the
Lakes, even if you've never stepped on a boat before. |
