“As always, the show is also an opportunity to make an initial assessment of the brilliant results achieved this year. The figures for the first eight months of 2018, characterized in particular by a production value higher than last year of 22%, confirm that we are on the right course.

The world premiere of Ferretti Group at Cannes Yachting Festival 2018:
Custom Line 120′ is the first yacht of the brand designed by Francesco Paszkowski Design: the sporty lines match a planing hull made of carbon fiber, and built by assembling different sections built separately.
Navetta 42 is the largest model among the semi-displacement ones for the brand. Designed by Studio Zuccon International Project together with the Ferretti offices, she boasts a range of over 3,000 nautical miles.
Ferretti Yachts 670 Ferretti Yachts 670 further raises the levels of elegance, comfort, and performance which this year celebrates its 50th anniversary. Characterised by excellent optimisation of the space, both interior and exterior, in its 67 feet (20.24 metres) the 670 features solutions typical of much larger vessels. These include the large flybridge with its area of 25 square metres that makes it one of the most competitive yachts in its category, and the bow that features a living space that can be converted into a spacious relaxation area, a true innovation in terms of liveability and comfort.
Riva 110 Dolcevita has just been launched in an exclusive event at the Yacht Club de Monaco. It’s the new fiberglass flagship of the fleet and the second-born, following Riva 100’ Corsaro, of the brand’s updated flybridge range. Like a luxurious loft, open to the sea on every side, Riva 110’ Dolcevita offers 270° of absolute visibility and enables the lounge to reach a height of 2.30 metres, thanks to a large stainless steel frame that supports the superstructure, acting as a frame for the floor-to-ceiling windows.
Riva 66 ‘Ribelle: For sure the design is by Mauro Micheli and Sergio Beretta of Officina Italiana Design, it is the largest model among those built in the historic shipyard of Sarnico on Lake Iseo. And it is the product of the collaboration between Officina Italiana Design and Ferretti Group’s Product Strategy Committee and Engineering Department.
The exterior lines repeat and evolve from those of the latest models of the Riva range through the introduction of new aesthetic and functional elements and the use of the high-quality materials typical of the shipyard’s tradition, such as mahogany and stainless steel.
