Queensland Business Leaders Hall of Fame Award - Longhurst Family
The 15th annual Queensland Business Leaders Hall of Fame has inducted the Longhurst family in recognition of over 50 years of visionary and sustained entrepreneurship across the tourism, property and boating industries nationally and their profound impact on Queensland’s economic and social development.
John Longhurst, a true Australian business pioneer and tourism legend, inspired his sons, Tony and Rodney, with the belief that “if you believe in yourself, you can do anything.” His legacy began with Pace Mowers, moved to Pride Boats and flourished with Dreamworld, a theme park inspired by Disneyland. He also launched Great Adventures, turning Green Island and Fitzroy Island into renowned tourist destinations.
Today, Tony and Rodney carry forward their father’s entrepreneurial spirit. Rodney owns Riviera, Australia’s premium luxury motor yacht builder. Tony, a former racing car driver and Australian champion water skier, leads The Boat Works. Both businesses are based Coomera in Queensland. Together, they have a team of over 2,000 people.
Speaking at the award ceremony, Rodney Longhurst said, "Our family is so humbled and honoured to receive this award. For us, this is all about John Longhurst. He was a machine! His extraordinary vision and work ethic were unmatched, and his belief in creating world-class products in Australia was unwavering. His words, 'Just do it, a little bit different and a little bit better,' guide us in our business everyday."
The Business Leaders Hall of Fame was established in 2009 and is a partnership between QUT and the State Library of Queensland. It recognises outstanding Queensland business leaders for their public contribution to the state.

I ❤ Riviera. One day I will order riviera SMY 72
Keep up the great work building the best yachts in the world! Can’t wait to order my Riviera 585-SUV!😎😎😎
Only another 8 months. It’s been a long wait almost 2 years and counting. I love that our favourite boats are in such high demand and we have to wait. Xx
Hope that someday, I can be a Riviera owner once again. Just loved my 1999, 48 ft. Riviera: took Australian delivery! From Sept. to December, my crew and I motored up and down the Australian coast from the factory at Coolangatta, AU to the Lockhart River Delta in Northern AU, anchoring at Lizard Island, AU on the Great Barrier Reef. The first year after going up and down the AU coast, I shipped it over to NZ for the America's Cup Races, Jan. to Feb. 2000, then back to AU. The second year I added a Marlin tower for the Black Marlin Catch and Release tournament at Lizard Island, AU, Great Barrier Reef. I caught and released three Black Marlin in one day, a 350 lb, a 650 lb. and an 850 lb.! It was a dream come true with the late Capt. Jeff Ferguson and his wife, Tricia as crew. Richard Boland, Yacht Sales Broker in Alameda, CA, helped make it all happen. Wonderful memories, thank you, Riviera!
yummy
With the range of the Rivieras you actually need to refuel twice just to make Whitsundays from Gold Coast a 58 SMY uses 8000 litres at 17 knots from Southport to Hamilton island. When are they going to actually make a serious long range vessel ? actual 10-12 knots for 600 + Nm which should be bare minimum. It's kind of ridiculous how poor their range is.
I’ve always compared time on a boat like being in a Time Machine and afternoon of four or five hours feels like a whole weekend when you’re out on the border completely relaxed and no stress
Yep, I get that feeling in my 4.2m Tinnie fishing the Bribie Passage!
So True. Funny how this works@@jasonclark950
Such humble beginnings for Rodney. Incredible story !
The ultimate 58’ on the market. ‘In a league of its own’ for sure!
