Ferretti Group at CYF2025: 26 yachts, 6 premieres, 2 new projects

Ferretti Group presented a total of 26 boats at the Cannes Yachting Festival, including six world premieres for the Ferretti Yachts, Itama, Riva and Wally brands, joined by Ferretti Yachts 940 and Pershing GTX70, which were unveiled at the last Venice Boat Show. The Group also had the biggest sailing yacht of the show featured — the Wallywind 110.

There was a high concentration of Riva boats in the fleet of premieres, not least Aquariva Special, after 300 unities, an evolution of the iconic runabout with new stylistic details and functions designed to offer an even more authentic cruising experience. Also eagerly awaited, Riva Cento is the exclusive limited edition of the Rivamare model, which introduces new on-board solutions designed to enhance comfort and liveability.

• €43.6 million of net profit (basically stable compared to the first six months of 2024. 
• €467.3 million of total order intake.

FERRETTI YACHTS 800

Ferretti Yachts 800 is the new model that completes the range renewal process begun in 2018.

The result of a stylistic evolution process involving architect Filippo Salvetti for the exteriors and the Ideaeitalia team for the interior design, Ferretti Yachts 800 offers the owner peerless comfort and a superior on-board lifestyle for a boat of this size, thanks to optimised spaces and meticulous layout planning. The most innovative features include large windows for uninterrupted views of the surroundings from the interiors and an optional sliding door on the starboard side of the salon; perfectly separated spaces to ensure total privacy; and optimisation of the exterior surfaces and particularly the flybridge (a full 40 m²), further enriching the on-board experience.

Itama 54 also features innovative side glazing, which for the first time runs the entire length of the hull, giving the boat an eye-catching, modern silhouette.

A distinctive feature of the boat is the stern swim platform: the electro-hydraulic hatch opens to create a beach area with chaise longue, storage for the fenders and Seabobs, and a retractable gangway. In the central area, covered by a bimini top incorporated in the C-shaped sofa, the living area can be converted into a spacious sunpad with the help of an electric up-down table.

The exterior styling, sleek but more sculpted, has been reworked with a more contemporary design that expresses a modern aesthetic without sacrificing the brand’s distinctive formal and functional simplicity. The interior design concept is based on maximum comfort and practicality, including when under way, while retaining the model’s sporty, dynamic spirit. Riva 58’ Capri has three cabins: two doubles for guests and one for the crew. The stern garage can also be customised to accommodate a Williams 325 tender or, alternatively, a Williams 285 TurboJet plus a Seabob.

FERRETTI YACHTS 940

The best way to describe the new Ferretti Yachts 940 is as a magnificent “home on the water”. The ultimate expression of the Just Like Home style featured across the entire range, this yacht transforms every cruise into a fantastic journey and always makes the owner feel ‘at home’. Designed to welcome guests in a convivial atmosphere, the generous spaces are combined with solutions that elevate freedom and comfort to new levels. The sophisticated design of each setting and the care lavished on the stylistic details give the settings a particularly welcoming and functional feel—the ideal combination for moments of both fun and relaxation. With a length overall of 28.97 metres (95 ft 1 in) and a maximum beam of 6.76 metres (22 ft 2 in), this first widebody yacht in the range features a five-cabin layout – with the master cabin positioned on the main deck and four guest cabins – outstandingly versatile exterior spaces, and an incredible view out over the water through floor-to-ceiling glazed surfaces. Ferretti Yachts 940 is the result of collaboration between the Strategic Product Committee chaired by Piero Ferrari and the Ferretti Group Engineering Department. The exterior styling is by Filippo Salvetti, and the interiors are by design firm Ideaeitalia. 

• LOA: 28.97 m (95 ft 1 in)
• Maximum beam: 6.76 m (22 ft 2 in),
• Engines: 
  Standard: MAN V12 2000
  Optional: MAN V12X - 2200 mhp

PERSHING GTX70

Pershing GTX70 is the most compact model in the Sport Utility Yachts range, combining a “grand turismo” spirit and remarkable liveability with the agility and dynamism offered by a smaller boat. The third model in the range is the result of collaboration between the Ferretti Group Strategic Product Committee led by Piero Ferrari, Vallicelli Design and the Group's Engineering Department. Pershing GTX70 is the result of careful research to maximise the interior and exterior spaces, which are respectively 10% and 30% larger than the areas available on other models in the same category. The novelty introduced by the GTX range is the arrangement of the stern area on the main deck, which extends across two levels: the first hosts the beach area, which can be extended to offer up to 23 m² of space by opening the side terraces, while the second is dedicated to a cockpit shaded entirely by the sportfly. A folding door and an up-down glass panel that retracts into the galley cabinet unit connect the outdoor area to the main deck, creating a continuous open space hosting not only the galley but also the living area and helm station. Despite the more compact dimensions compared to previous models, the sundeck on Pershing GTX70 is generous with space and extends across 16 square metres, split into three areas for sunbathing, dining and the helm station. The lower deck contains three cabins with three en suite bathrooms.

• LOA: 21.76 m – 71 ft 5 in
• LOH: 21.04 m – 69 ft 0 in
• Maximum beam: 5.42 m – 17 ft 9 in
• Engines: 3 x VOLVO PENTA D13 IPS1200 power 900 mhp
