Built by Cec Quilkey and launched on the banks of Botany Bay in 1981, 'Riversong' is a testament to craftsmanship and quality. Prior to building 'Riversong', Cec Quilkey built Love and War, Ragamuffin, Koomooloo and many other beautiful and famous yachts.

The forward cabin boasts two single berths, another two single berths in the forward companion way and the master cabin offers a large double berth.

The galley is conveniently situated forward of the main saloon and is equipped with eutectic and 12v refrigeration, a Tiffany convection microwave, a Broadwater oven, grill and 4 burner cooktop that make preparing gourmet meals a delight.
Powered by a single 150hp 6LX Gardner, 'Riversong' offers a cruise speed of 8 knots and ensures reliable and efficient performance. Her substantial fuel capacity of 2,200 litres and freshwater capacity of 1,200 litres allow for extended voyages. 'Riversong' also features a complete suite of Raymarine electronics (depth sounder, GPS/Plotter, GPS charts, auto pilot and digital radar).
Constantly admired for her beautiful lines, 'Riversong' is a very capable boat that has been continuously modernised and improved by all her owners. An inspection of 'Riversong' at the Gold Coast is highly recommended and will not disappoint.
