The six Ferretti Group world premier models at the 39th edition of Cannes Yachting Festival

Ferretti Yachts 850
A luxurious flybridge that offers the experience of living in a loft surrounded by the sea, is the latest masterpiece in the nearly fifty-year history of a brand that has conquered all major international markets. With four units sold, the new yacht is already an extraordinary international success.

Ferretti Yachts 450
It is the model with which the brand returns to dominate the yachts of strategic importance with size between 40 and 50 feet. This flybridge is distinguished by the hull geometry, the amplitude of the volumes, elegance and functionality in setting the interior by enhancing a family feeling with the "big brother" Ferretti Yachts 550, one of the biggest recent successes of the brand.

Rivamare
New icon of style and design that once again redefines the rules of timeless elegance and writes a new page in the more than 170 years of Riva history. The new open model from Sarnico, with already 8 units sold in less than three months, is a gem with sinuous lines, precious materials and unique details, a worthy heir of masterpieces like Aquariva Super and, before that, Aquarama. A contemporary masterpiece.

76’ Bahamas
The new "convertible" Riva yacht inspires from the coupe platform of 76 'Perseus "Convertible Top" technology, Ferretti Group exclusive patent presented for the first time on 88' Florida. 76 'Bahamas has the DNA of a modern Riva: a synthesis of tradition and innovation, elegance and performance. The Mediterranean style of the interior offers also an unforgettable yachting experience.

Pershing 5X
The first model of the "Generation X" Pershing is the new coupe of the fleet: more and more advanced, more and more surprising. The letter X - aeronautical code referring to extreme performance and technological evolution - evokes that inexhaustible urge to discover new horizons at great speed. Lines, propulsion, performance and style of Pershing 5X have captivated audiences in no time, with six units already sold.

Navetta 37
The new flagship of the semi-displacement series is the largest ever built model by Custom Line and is among the largest vessels on show in Cannes. The values of manoeuvrability, comfort, security and personalization - always in the DNA of Custom Line - are revealed in a revolutionary product of style, design and volumes, offering a top of the class model. A yacht of great success, thanks to the four units already sold, pays tribute to the twentieth anniversary of the brand, navigating it, at the same time, toward an even more brilliant future.
