Also, everyone will be able to see the Ferretti Yachts 1000, which was officially premiered a few months earlier at the Venice Boat Show in Italy. Style, innovative technology and comfort – all of which you can enjoy aboard Ferretti Yachts, Pershing, Riva and Wally.
RIVA 68 ’DIABLE
It is the diamond in the open yacht range, combining dynamism, innovation and comfort. The new 20-meter model Riva 68 ‘Diable embodies design innovation and, at the same time, love for tradition and detail, which are the hallmark of the brand today. One of the memorable features is the new hardtop with an elegant design, in which all technical components are hidden from prying eyes. It protects the central part of the deck: the dining area, the kitchen and the helm. Equally impressive is the sliding structure in the hardtop, which can be opened from several sides for maximum comfort while walking. The Riva 68 ‘Diable will be powered by two 1550 hp MAN V12s. in the standard version or with a pair of 1650 hp engines as an option.
The lower deck has a classic layout. The master stateroom is located at the widest part of the deck, on the port side there is a suite with two single beds and a VIP stateroom in the bow. Each cabin has its own bathroom, and they revolve around a common versatile space with a kitchen and a small lounge.
RIVA 76 ’PERSEO SUPER
It is an innovative successor to the model of the same name, which has earned high marks in terms of design, aesthetics and ergonomics. The Riva 76 ‘Perseo Super has a length of 23.25 meters and a deck width of 5.75 meters. Glazing of the hull and superstructure with an area of more than 40 m2 make the profile even more streamlined and emphasize the sporty character of the yacht. Mahogany and polished stainless steel details, which not only have a practical function, but also serve as a decoration for the exterior – a tribute to the original tradition of Riva.
The exterior features a glass roof with an opening section, allowing the lounge to be filled with light and fresh air. In the cockpit, the dining area can be easily converted into a spacious sunbathing area if required thanks to a table mechanism that lowers on telescopic rails.
The standard layout of the lower deck of the Riva 76 ‘Perseo Super is designed to accommodate 6 guests in three en-suite cabins with a separate kitchen. The saloon is also provided in the same layout, however, a fourth cabin can be placed instead.
PERSHING 6X
The Generation X series has been replenished with another model that reflects the most daring side of the brand, namely speed. The Pershing 6X will be able to develop a maximum of 48 knots with two MAN V12s of 1550 hp each.
At 18.94 meters long and 4.8 meters wide, the Pershing 6X brings together all of the shipyard’s advanced technology in a compact form factor. The model immediately catches the eye thanks to the aerodynamic profile and extensive glazing that floods the lower deck with natural light. Also on board was a spacious sunpad aft, a carbon and teak table in the dining area and a reclining chaise longue. The first Pershing 6X hull has a layout with three guest cabins – a master suite, a VIP in the bow and a guest suite to starboard.
FERRETTI YACHTS 1000
Almost 30 meters long, the FY 1000 is not only the flagship of the shipyard, but also the first Ferretti Yachts with a hull shape similar to that of a displacement yacht. Composite materials were used for its construction, and the superstructure and hardtop are completely made of carbon. The shipyard has fundamentally changed the approach to onboard layout with unprecedented designs and interior moods.
At the heart of the FY 1000 is the idea of unrivaled comfort, both outdoors and indoors. The latter, among other things, can be performed in completely different moods. Classic interior design uses soft, balanced color tones and subtle contrasts, while modern color schemes create bolder hues.
The FY 1000 will receive a pair of 2217 hp MTU 16V 2000 M86L engines. in the standard version, and the optional motorization assumes two 2638 hp engines.
WALLY WHY200
Wally is targeting the compact superyacht segment with the 27m WHY200. The designers were able to amazingly provide guests with more than 200 m2 of indoor spaces and 144 m2 of outdoor areas. The lower deck – depending on the chosen layout – can accommodate three or four double guest cabins.
The new WHY200 stands out not only for its ergonomics, but above all for its technical characteristics. This is Wally’s first hybrid yacht optimized for sea crossings in both displacement and semi-displacement styles. Simply put, she can be both a fast yacht and move with economical fuel consumption. Thanks to its unique hull and the latest generation of powertrain, the WHY200 reaches 23 knots.
