In recognition of Ferretti Yachts’ 50th anniversary, we discover some of the recent award-winning and groundbreaking yachts the group and its wide portfolio of brands have been busy creating SAIL AWAY

56’ RIVALE, RIVA This 56-ft open-top sports cruiser is a pocket superyacht. Though it has two berths, we think this makes an ideal and beautiful day boat — perfect for long days spent tooling around on the water. Amenities include a wet bar, Williams 325 tender and an innovative swimming platform that partially submerges so you can easily step in and out of the water.

PERSHING9X Described by Ferretti Yachts as a fighter jet, this is the second chapter of the new “Generation X” – a 90-ft maxi coupe whose aggressive exterior lines are perfectly complemented by the lavish comfort of the interior. There are accommodations for eight guests in four cabins, and room for three crew members to be on hand to ensure your every need is met. The design is a result of a 10-year collaboration with Poltrona Frau, creating timeless elegance within this sporty head turner.

NAVETTA 33, CUSTOM LINE The newNavetta 33 delivers performance at the top of its class in terms of seaworthiness and stability. This semi-displacement superyacht offers generous space for owners and guests across all four decks, while the sundeck with swimming pool and sunpad provides a space to relax in total privacy. An expansive panoramic terrace and large windows flood the interior with natural light, highlighting the stunning interior conceived by Piero Ferrari’s product strategy committee and Ferretti’s engineering department.

FERRETTI YACHTS 920 The raised bow of this new 93.4-ft maxi flybridge forms a dynamic and imposing profile, while also allowing the addition of a generous wide-body master suite on the main deck. The interior is spacious and uses a mixture of subtle hues and elegant touches — such as the anthracite-gray parquet flooring in the lounge, a stunning smoked-glass table in the dining room and Antolini marble in the master stateroom bathroom — to create a sophisticated space.

FERRETTI YACHTS 780 This fantastic 78-ft flybridge yacht boasts an aerodynamic design full of sleek lines and clean shapes. The stern area transforms into a beach club through an innovative new door system that opens the tailgate to create a large swim platform, providing easy and safe access to the water as well as extra space for relaxing on board. The full-beam master stateroom, which includes a walk-in wardrobe as well as a vanity and study area, is filled with natural light.

100’ CORSARO, RIVA Distinguished by its sleek profile, metallic shark-gray hull and large expanses of glass, the Riva 100’ Corsaro is a sporty 95-ft flybridge. The dining area can seat 10 and boasts magnificent Calacatta marble flooring, on top of which stands a large glass table surrounded by cream Poltrona Frau chairs. Enjoy long evenings with friends sampling your chef’s specialties from the teppanyaki cooktop. The master suite has a walk-in wardrobe and a writing desk/vanity table with panoramic views.
