The core of the Ferretti Group strategy is a drive for constant innovation and performance improvement of its products. For this reason the Engineering Division was created in 1989, conceived and enthusiastically promoted by Chairman Norberto Ferretti as a specialist centre equipped with cutting edge technology, unique in the international nautical world.

The Engineering Division  was renamed AYT (Advanced Yacht Technology) in 2006. Now, around twenty years on, it is acknowledged as one of the world’s most advanced naval research and design centres, engaged in a relentless search for innovative products and processes, based on excellence and maximum reliability.

AYT is a unique, tightly-knit team organised around competence platforms, each dedicated to specific aspect of designs. It is a highly specialised, skilled network that supports, consolidates and develops the entire Ferretti Group structure, working in close collaboration also with partner technology companies in the development of increasingly innovative, customized and exclusive systems.

In a sector where technology is a vital element, this is where Ferretti Group’s technical excellence begins.
