Eight premières and over 30 yachts designed by Ferretti Group light up the preview that traditionally opens boat show season.
Monte Carlo, September 8, 2025 – The allure of the sea, the splendour of the world’s most beautiful yachts and a great evening of music all helped make the tenth Ferretti Group Private Preview a memorable and exclusive event, held this year from September 4 to 7 in the unique setting of the Yacht Club de Monaco.
The event reserved for selected customers and guests showcased the most eagerly awaited new products from the Group’s brands, featuring eight premières by Ferretti Yachts, Itama, Riva and Pershing. The fleet was completed by over 30 yachts in a spectacular preview that wowed the audience of international owners.
The star of the evening show on Saturday September 6 was British band Simply Red led by Mick Hucknall, with a magnificent live performance that anticipates the band’s 40th anniversary world tour. The audience's excitement was palpable, with evergreen hits including Stars and Holding Back the Years alongside new songs performed on a stage suspended over the water and surrounded by the majestic Ferretti Group fleet.
Another highlight of the evening was the haute cuisine dinner curated by chef Antonio Mellino – his Quattro Passi a Nerano restaurant on the magical Amalfi Coast has won three Michelin stars – who delighted guests with a refined and creative gastronomic journey.
“A big thank you to Mick Hucknall and Simply Red—I am still singing all the many hits from their fantastic concert! This wonderful evening goes to show that talent and passion are the key ingredients of every successful project, from music to yachts. A Private Preview – in its tenth edition – as exciting as this one, with eight premières and the most fantastic boats of the world, is the perfect start to this year’s boat show season,” said Ferretti Group CEO Alberto Galassi.
The success of the tenth Private Preview was sealed by eight premières that thrilled guests with exclusive visits and sea trials: the innovative Ferretti Yachts 800; the breakthrough Itama 54; Aquariva Special, the only Special after the Aquarama; Riva Cento, the limited edition celebrating the 100th Rivamare; Riva 58’ Capri, the new-generation sport open yacht, and Riva 112’ Dolcevita Super, the new flybridge yacht with expanded spaces and dimensions for outstanding liveability. Completing the line-up were two more debuts: the Ferretti Yachts 940 and the dynamic Pershing GTX70, the new entry in the GTX generation, presented this year to mark Pershing's fortieth anniversary.
For this special occasion, Ferretti Group was joined by official automotive partner Range Rover, which showcased several of its most iconic models; by Flexjet, which recently presented the Riva Volare project featuring the first Gulfstream G650 and the first helicopter with custom Riva interiors; and by Bang & Olufsen, Frette, Cassina, Seabob, Atelier Rebul and Torello. The collaboration continued with Venini, while the brand’s outstanding wine partner was Marchesi Antinori. Exteta for Riva and Unopiù also contributed by designing the furnishings for the event’s exclusive spaces. Special thanks also go to Dolce & Gabbana, supplier of the uniforms worn by the Ferretti Group team, and to longstanding partner Yacht Club de Monaco.
