Forty-one Ferretti Group yachts lit up the scene at the traditional international preview event held at the Yacht Club de Monaco.

An outstanding fleet, a series of world premieres and a spectacular live show: the eleventh Ferretti Group Private Preview opened the autumn yachting season in a spirit of excellence and memorable experiences. The event, held from September 3 to 6 in collaboration with the exclusive Yacht Club de Monaco, confirmed its standing as the most eagerly awaited and prestigious event on the international yachting calendar.

The Private Preview brought together clients, owners and selected guests for an exclusive preview dedicated to the Group’s new boats: five world premieres from the Itama, Riva, Pershing and Custom Line brands, and 41 yachts in all.

Guests particularly loved the dinner created by chef Antonio Mellino, who treated them to an elegant and sophisticated culinary experience permeated by a strong creative spirit.
Excitement and show business took centre stage on the evening of Saturday, September 5, thanks to an exclusive live performance by OneRepublic, with the majestic Ferretti Group fleet providing a stunning backdrop for this extraordinary show. The audience sang and danced along to the US band’s many hits, including Apologize and I Ain’t Worried.

But the undisputed stars of the Private Preview were the five world premieres, which thrilled guests with exclusive visits on board and sea trials: Itama 70, a new expression of freedom at sea; Riva 96’ Argo Super, the evolution of the celebrated 90’ Argo; Riva 56’ Rivale Super, a contemporary blend of sportiness and elegance; Pershing GTX90, the latest model in the GTX range; and Custom Line Navetta 35, the new made-to-measure yacht in the displacement line. Completing the impressive line-up was another debut from Ferretti Yachts: the new version of Ferretti Yachts 720, which received her world premiere this year at boot Düsseldorf.

“The Private Preview is much more than an event. It is the moment when our brands, our people and our owners come together around what Ferretti Group does best: creating extraordinary yachts and unforgettable experiences. This eleventh edition was exceptional. Five world premieres, an extraordinary fleet, and an atmosphere that once again demonstrated the strength, desirability and Italian soul of our seven brands. But the most important signal is the reaction of our owners, dealers, brokers and guests: enthusiasm, confidence and a real appetite for what comes next. We now arrive in Cannes and Monaco with enormous energy. Our ambition is very clear: not simply to participate in the international yachting season, but to lead it — with stronger brands, more innovation, outstanding design and an increasingly obsessive focus on our owners. Ferretti Group is moving from good to great, and this autumn will show exactly what that means.”said Stassi Anastassov, Global Chief Executive Officer of Ferretti Group.

“The finest collaborations are born from a shared vision. Over the years, the Private Preview has become one of the most exclusive gatherings in international yachting. It is a privileged occasion that brings together, by invitation, yacht owners from around the world who share the same passion for the sea and a commitment to excellence, conviviality, and elegance. This international community perfectly reflects the spirit of our ‘Monaco, Capital of Advanced Yachting’ initiative,” said Bernard d’Alessandri, Secretary General, Yacht Club de Monaco, President, Cluster Yachting Monaco.
