Ferretti Group Unveils a Fleet of Innovations at Cannes Yachting Festival
Ferretti Group made a splash at the Cannes Yachting Festival, showcasing a stunning array of 25 yachts, including six world premieres and two models previously unveiled in Venice. The event underscored the company’s commitment to Italian design, functional innovation, and collaborations with luxury brands, solidifying its position as a global leader in the yachting industry.
Six New Yachts Embody the Ferretti Group Spirit
The spotlight shone brightly on six new models, each representing a unique facet of the Ferretti Group’s vision:
- Ferretti Yachts 800: This yacht marks the culmination of a multi-year range renewal. Designed by Filippo Salvetti (exterior) and Ideaeitalia (interior), it reimagines volumes and maximizes natural light through expansive windows. Its enlarged flybridge and intelligently separated spaces redefine onboard comfort for a yacht of its size.
- Itama 54: The shipyard revisits its iconic open cruiser segment with the Itama 54. While retaining Itama’s timeless elegance, the design introduces modern lines and innovative features like full-length side windows. The deck plan, featuring a double cockpit accommodating up to ten people, fosters a convivial and dynamic experience at sea.
- Aquariva Special: Continuing the legacy of the legendary Aquarama, the Aquariva Special embodies timeless elegance. This iconic yacht receives subtle updates, including a redesigned windshield, an enlarged rear platform, and refreshed upholstery, while staying true to its heritage.
- Riva Cento: The Riva Cento celebrates the production of the 100th Rivamare. This limited edition retains the original model’s charm while adding exclusive details such as a beach club-convertible stern, new upholstery colors, and a modular cockpit adaptable to various preferences.
- Riva 58’ Capri: Riva introduces a new generation of sport open yachts with the Riva 58’ Capri. Inspired by the 68’ Diable, it incorporates a more contemporary style and amenities designed for onboard living, including a fixed hard-top covering the entire main deck. Three cabins, a modular rear garage, and a sculpted silhouette define this sporty and refined model.
- Riva 112’ Dolcevita Super: The flagship of these world premieres, the Riva 112’ Dolcevita Super, is a spacious and bold superyacht that redefines its volumes to offer an outward-facing living experience. A modular beach club, lateral terraces, a flybridge designed as a vast open-air lounge, and a light-filled owner’s suite embody a new philosophy of luxury on the water.
Models Previously Unveiled in Venice
In addition to the six new models, the Group presented two yachts recently revealed in Venice:
- Ferretti Yachts 940: The brand’s first widebody yacht, the Ferretti Yachts 940, is designed as a true “home on the water” with five cabins, convivial spaces, and an elegant aesthetic that emphasizes volume and panoramic views.
- Pershing GTX70: Unveiled during Pershing’s 40th anniversary, the Pershing GTX70 stands out as the most compact in the Sport Utility Yachts range, offering spaces significantly larger than average. Its two-level rear layout and open indoor-outdoor space perfectly capture the brand’s sporty and avant-garde spirit.
A Network of Prestigious Partners
Ferretti Group continues to collaborate with partners that embody international luxury. Range Rover, a British icon of prestige automobiles, shares the shipyard’s vision of elegance and innovation. Flexjet, a leader in private aviation, supports the event, as do Frette, Venini, Lanerossi, and Zimmer+Rohde in the design and decoration realm.
Italian names also resonate on the docks: Dolce & Gabbana designs the staff uniforms, Lavazza introduces its new intense creations, while La Scolca and Ruinart provide sparkling wines. The presence of the Yacht Club de Monaco, Bang & Olufsen, Atelier Rebul, Cassigoli, Limentani, and Seabob further enhances the refined lifestyle experience.
“With a fleet of 25 yachts, including six world premieres and two flagship models already celebrated in Venice, Ferretti Group sets the pace at the Cannes Yachting Festival. By uniting Italian design, functional innovations, and collaborations with luxury houses, the shipyard once again affirms its status as a global benchmark in yachting.”
Through this impressive presence, Ferretti Group sends a clear message: the 2025 season will be marked by desire, comfort, and timeless elegance.
