Continuously honing skills and interpersonal skills for everyone who enjoys marine life

"In my hometown of Otaru, Hokkaido, I participated in the national polity and inter-high school competitions in the high school sailing club. Aiming to enter the marine industry, I mastered the sea in faraway Hiroshima and learned the necessary skills, and also did an internship at Seabornia, which is said to be the best marina in the East. I was fascinated by the charm of yachting, so I joined this marina where there are many boats active in racing.It's been 24 years since then, and time has flown by in the blink of an eye.''
Ryota Tanigawa is the harbor master of Riviera Zushi Marina, and is also in charge of the three locations including Riviera Seabornia Marina and Hayama Port (designated management by Kanagawa Prefecture).
Tanigawa, who has been active since childhood, is also the father of two children.
“Spending time with my family is an irreplaceable time for me, and I often go sailing during long vacations, and at the invitation of my children, I climb Mt. Okusu in Yokosuka.I like to suggest good places to my customers. , even when I'm spending time with my family, I tend to check them carefully from a work perspective.I'm happy if the customers like the places I recommend.''

Last year, I experienced the Tokyo Olympics, the first festival in half a century.
“For the Tokyo Olympics, the three marinas operated by Riviera accepted 3 Enoshima boats and 167 operated boats. Three boats were lent out as management boats, and six staff members were dispatched.In addition to the staff who were involved in tournament management, the staff who managed to manage the busy summer marina operations with a reduced number of people were also responsible for each and every one of them. It was an opportunity for me to improve my responsiveness and grow. I am very happy that I was able to contribute to the Tokyo Olympics by utilizing the experience I have cultivated, and it is also connected to my current work. This is also the understanding of Riviera members. It's all thanks to you. I'm really grateful."

Currently, he is also the captain of the famous boat SWAN58.
“SWAN is one of the world's highest yachts that every sailor dreams of, and Riviera is the exclusive sales agent for it. Among them, SWAN 58 is still the only one in Asia. It is a great honor to be its captain. At the same time, I feel a heavy responsibility.I conduct training once a week with the CYNARA team that was formed earlier.Improving my technical skills is one of my important goals, but I usually work in a different location. Communication with the crew members who are in charge of the company's work is more fruitful than the training itself.Also, through dialogue with Watanabe, the company's chairman, who has a completely superior perspective, each of us has been strengthened, and the way we see things has clearly changed. It is also a place to develop people, where you can feel first-hand.From the position of the manager of 3 marinas, your own behavior will change by treating everything as your own.We will create a workplace where the spotlight is on the success of each staff member. I believe that this is my most important duty as a manager.And I want to create an environment where not only Riviera Group members, but everyone who lives a marine life in Sagami Bay can spend their time with peace of mind.''
