FERRETTI YACHTS, one of the "Made in Italy" icons worldwide, reaches the U.S. for the 49th Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, the prestigious event that sees Florida become a venue for the meeting between the Old and New Worlds.
After introducing some of the world's most significant stylistic and functional innovations in the sector at the Festival de la Plaisance di Cannes and the Genoa Boat Show, Ferretti Yachts proves its passionate commitment to the American market by presenting a selection of yachts from the top of its range - all created by the collaboration between the AYT (Advanced Yacht Technology), the Ferretti group marine design and research centre, and Studio Zuccon International.
The excellence of the Ferretti Yachts fleet is represented at Fort Lauderdale by the following successful models:
• The Ferretti 630: offers sleek, aggressive lines with a spectacular single window sweeping from stern to bows. This creates a 360 degree view of the sea from the yacht's interior, enhancing the effect of perspective and depth. The fitted kitchen aft can open out fully into the living area, another of this model's innovative design features.
• The Ferretti 731: a modern, refined 22.68 metre displaying a symmetrical appearance around the yacht's central axis, both inside and on the flying bridge, with interiors restyled in a contemporary key with dark, open pore painted teak, chairs in light leather and an overall concept offering greater definition and more design details.
• The Ferretti 780: (24 metres, 78 feet) boasts an innovative interior layout offering voluminous spaces and a choice of teak finishings and solid units instead of the traditional cherry used by the yard for yachts of this size.
• The Ferretti 830: with its 25.3 metres the Ferretti 830, available in flybridge and in hard top version, is the second super-yacht in the FERRETTI YACHTS fleet. In terms of interior design, the Ferretti 830 has finish elm-wood décor, which underlines interior lighting and fabric-lined walls. The large saloon (4.5 x 6 m) is dominated by an L-shaped sofa which has a central leather-covered table and a side table.
The entire FERRETTI YACHTS fleet is a perfect embodiment of love for the sea and the cutting edge technology the yachts can be equipped with at the owner's request - the ARG System (Anti Rolling Gyro), a sophisticated and exclusive gyroscopic anti-roll system that reduces movement caused by waves by over 50%, and the Gi8 system that enables constant monitoring of alarm situations and yacht management.
