About Riviera Nautic
Riviera Nautic hires boats for self-skippered holidays on the Gippsland Lakes from its base at Metung, about three and a half hours from Melbourne. The fleet mixes motor cruisers and day boats with sailing yachts, and the company says no experience or boat licence is needed to charter.
The yachts range from a Catalina 28 through a Catalina 320, Beneteau 34, Jeanneau 349, Dufour 36 and Jeanneau 379 to a Seawind 1160 sailing catamaran sleeping up to ten. Each holiday starts with an onboard briefing, backed by a video briefing series and 24-hour support, and sailing tuition can be added by the hour, with around three hours recommended for beginners.
The company describes the sheltered lakes as free of rocks, reefs and tides, suiting families, novices and experienced sailors alike, and there are packages for schools and corporate groups. Rates vary between off-peak, shoulder and peak seasons, and a deposit and security bond apply, so check the charter terms before booking.
