This year Ferretti Group has chosen the Miami InternationalBoat Show as the exclusive stage not only for the premieres of two yachts on the American market – Riva 68’ Diable and Ferretti Yachts 500 – but also to announce numerous product and strategy novelties to the yachting world.
The American market has considerable strategic importance for Ferretti Group, accounting for 35% of total Group sales, and is unrivaled in its offering of tailor-made services for owners. With a workforce of over 100 and a spare parts warehouse with a stable valuation of over US$ 1.5 million, Ferretti Group America headquarters in Fort Lauderdale and the recent Lauderdale Marine Center Service Yard (support and refit services) provide excellent service across the board with minimum waiting times. The American market has always appreciated the Group's product: from Custom Line, which has launched 16 yachts over the last two years including five for American customers, to CRN, which has five mega yachts under construction and three launches planned for the next five months, also sold to US clients.
Also at the Ferretti Group press conference in Miami the launch of the new Pershing GTX Series was announced. The GTX Series, which joins the X Series, redefines the boundaries of the 24 to 40-meter market segment. The first model will be the Pershing GTX116. The conference also provided an opportunity to reveal the name of the new Riva flagship: 130’ Bellissima, which is under construction at the La Spezia shipyard, where production of Riva models from 76 to 130 feet is based and major refurbishment work has recently been completed to upgrade production capacity; and to present the new products announced by Wally: new arrival wallypower58 and the first exclusive images of the new wally101 full custom, the brand’s first sailing yacht under the ownership of Ferretti Group.
On the strategic front, the group proudly announced the signing of an important agreement with Aqua Marina Tech, the Israeli company that develops innovative solutions for saving lives at sea based on cutting-edge technology. On an exclusive basis, Ferretti Group will introduce the patented “Watchit” system, which uses innovative anti-collision technology to prevent accidents at sea, so providing its fleet with unparalleled safety standards.
The Ferretti Group, led by Chief Executive Officer Alberto Galassi, is now one of the world’s leaders in the construction and sale of luxury yachts and pleasure vessels, with a unique portfolio of brands: Ferretti Yachts, Riva, Pershing, Itama, Mochi Craft, CRN, Custom Line and Wally.
