If you’re an adventurous spirit who loves the ocean, get ready to be captivated by the latest episode of our ‘Found on YouTube’ series. This time, we’re joining a seasoned delivery captain as he navigates his clients on their maiden voyage to the stunning Lady Musgrave Island, located in the heart of the Great Barrier Reef. The journey, on board their brand new Riviera 585 SUV - a veritable ocean-going rocket ship - is nothing short of spectacular.
Setting Sail from Coomera
Our adventure begins at the Riviera manufacturing plant in Coomera. With the sea playing a symphony, the captain meticulously guides the impressive Riviera 585 SUV (most economical at a cruise speed of 27 knots!) along the coastline. The aim is to avoid the brunt of a 25/30 knot SSW’r.
The initial leg of the journey involves crossing the Wide Bay Bar and cruising up the Great Sandy Straits behind the enchanting K’gari (Fraser Island). The first day is an exhilarating mix of anticipation and wonder, with the pristine waters and breathtaking landscapes setting the stage for the marvels that lie ahead.
Welcoming the Family
At Hervey Bay, the captain and his clients are joined by additional family members, including adult children and grandchildren. The excitement is palpable as they gear up for the second leg of their journey, ready to embrace the adventures that Lady Musgrave Island has in store.

The journey to Lady Musgrave Island is not just a trip, it’s an experience. The island, known for its vibrant marine life and the stunning coral cay, offers a plethora of activities. From snorkeling and fishing to exploring the island, the family is treated to days filled with joy and discovery.
