The concept and engineering phases have been completed, and now the development of the NAUTITECH 47 POWER is entering a new phase. In BAVARIA CATAMARANS’ shipyard in Rochefort, France, construction is soon to begin on the catamaran, which is 14 metres long and travels at speeds of up 22 knots. The NAUTITECH 47 POWER will be on display at trade fairs at the beginning of 2018. The clear lines and dynamic design of the NAUTITECH 47 POWER reveal the powerful elegance of this power catamaran. With a top speed of 22 knots, this catamaran doesn’t just have powerful acceleration, its cruising range of 1000 miles at a speed of nearly 9 knots is also testimony to its endurance. And whether on deck or below deck, there is plenty of room for luxury and relaxation.

A nimble tender that defies its size, the Turbojet 285 is designed to easily fit into the tender garage or bathing platform of most 12m to 16m (39ft to 52ft) yachts. It will take you smoothly to the quayside for supplies or a leisurely bite to eat. But open up the throttle and she'll show you a different side. The sports hull and Textron engine come into their own, carving tight circles or going flat out in secure straight lines for waterskiing bliss.

The Ferretti Yachts 550 is the result of the cooperation between AYT&D, the Group’s research, development and style department, and Studio Zuccon International Project. It is characterised by a brand-new hull, and equally brand-new are the layout of the engine room and that of the main deck, as well as the interior arrangement. In addition to this, special care has been devoted not only to guaranteeing maximum production efficiency and effectiveness, but also to optimising the yacht's weight balance, thereby ensuring great performances even if small, light and low-consumption engines are installed. The profile of the boat is characterised by sober, streamlined, slender lines, blending together refined elegance and a sporty character. The uninterrupted glazing running across the main deck further enhances the boat’s rakish profile, and is complemented by a large, aerodynamic flybridge. Three large glazed surfaces - the cabins windows - can be found on both sides of the hull. Each has flush frameless fibreglass portholes resulting in very clean lines. This yacht’s interior spaces and onboard equipment allows it to be on an equal standing with much larger yachts. Many outdoor relaxation areas have been conceived: the forward dinette area, furnished with facing sofas and a table; the large sunpad on the deckhouse; and the cockpit, featuring a large aft sofa and a table. On the flybridge, the storage cabinet and the restyled, small-size pilot station instrument panel allow to extend the relaxation areas - both the sunpad and the comfortable dining area - even more. The Group’s Centro Stile has found very appealing décor solutions, adding elegance to all onboard ambiances and preserving the range’s unique Made-in-Italy style and charm. The cockpit and the aft area of the salon stand out for an impressive décor consistency. Indeed, the teak flooring found in the cockpit continues indoor, in the galley and the entrance, visually and 'physically' harmonising these different environments. This flawless continuity is also ensured by the new three-section glazed door that can be folded to starboard and concealed behind the stairs leading to the flybridge. The perfect harmony between form and content, aesthetics and functionality is completed by the ceiling panel decoration, which is the same in the salon and outdoor, creating as a sort of 'style mirror' that welcomes all guests at best. The cockpit thus becomes an extension of the interiors, which can be opened completely onto the sea on all sides.

The Ferretti Yachts 960 is the largest planing pleasure boat ever built by Ferretti Group. The flagship of the brand results from the collaboration between Studio Zuccon International Project, Ferretti Group Engineering, the team of engineers and architects of the Group, and AYT&D (Advanced Yacht Technology & Design), the research center of the Group. With its 29.20 meters of length overall and 23.97 meters of hull length it can be managed as a pleasure boat, even without a professional captain. Ferretti Yachts 960 features an unparalleled livability. It is the first yacht of the brand with the owner cabin located on the main deck and four VIP cabins on the lower deck each equipped , with its own en-suite facility, enormous glazing for natural light and portholes for ventilation. The vessel offers numerous solutions and attributes which usually are reserved for vessels over 100’ including 3 crew cabins of which 1 is exclusively for the captain as well as a separate access to the crew quarters directly from the galley. The flybridge at the stern area are entirely devoted to leisure. The garage door is fitted with cushions, while the bathing platform can be immersed in the water to allow for the launching of the tender in just a matter of minutes from the floodable garage without the need of a davit: a system which has set the benchmark in the industry for a never before seen solution on a vessel of this size…until now. The flagship model of the Ferretti Yachts range will be available with three different engine options, offering a minimum of 2218 hp to 2638 hp, the latter ensuring performance characteristics which make the 960 the quickest vessel in its class by reaching speeds up to 30 knots. The vessel is equipped in the standard version with electro-hydraulic fins with both the zerospeed and the underway features, giving owners an incredibly elevated level of stability to reduce roll and ensure maximum comfort onboard, at anchor and during navigation.

STAIRWAY TO THE SEA “Twenty years from now, you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do.” These words by Mark Twain are one of the many reasons why you should choose to sail in the new Ferretti Yachts 450. Because it was designed and built specifically with the idea of inspiring new owners and taking everyone else by surprise. Because Ferretti Yachts has concentrated all of its yachting heritage and construction know-how in this yacht to stay ahead in the 40- to 50-foot sector with a yacht that is innovative and enthralling for the shape of its hull, its generous volumes, air of elegance, and practical layout of its interiors. With its sporty lines and abundance of natural light in the living areas, the Ferretti Yachts 450 exploits the contrast of materials and colours on board, creating a sophisticated dialogue between the veneers, lacquered surfaces and ample use of textiles. The yacht is the outcome of the collaboration between Ferretti Group’s Product Strategic Committee, the Group’s Engineering Department – that supervised the technical and naval engineering – and Studio Zuccon International Project, which designed the exteriors and interiors. The yacht is already being built at the new production facility in Forlì, ahead of its official debut at the 2016 Cannes Yachting Festival.

New Riva 88’ Florida. Spiritual successor of the Riva Bahamas, 88’ Florida is a revolutionary yacht which perfectly blends an open and a coupé model into one single vessel. The hull # 1 will be completed and launched by the end of 2014, with its official world première scheduled in the first months of 2015. The 88’ Florida features a cutting-edge innovation with an exclusive Ferretti Group patent installed on this new project for the very first time. Convertible Top is the name of the innovative system, designed and developed by AYT&D in collaboration with the technical partners of the Group, Besenzoni Spa and Centro Stile Srl. It turns this model into a multifunctional yacht, “convertible” because it can be transformed into an open or a coupé with one single and easy movement. The convertible top offers three different functions into one single system, due to the function that handles the aerodynamic hard top into three different positions. This new project features excellent performance, with a choice opportunity of the engines by MTU. As the standard version, 88’ Florida is fitted with two MTU 16V 2000 M93, 2435 mhp, which allow reaching a maximum speed of 38.5 and a cruising speed of 34 knots, with a range of 315 and 340 nautical miles, respectively. As an alternative option, as in the case of hull number 1, 88’ Florida, can be fitted with two MTU 16V 2000 M94, 2638 mhp. This new project by Riva, with these engines, can reach a maximum speed of 40.5 knots and a cruising speed of 36 knots, with a range of 300 and 325 nautical miles, respectively (preliminary data).

With the 76’ Bahamas the iconic Riva brand writes another page in the story of yachting. The art of yachting is enriched by a new masterpiece that brings together the charm of timeless design with the sophisticated pleasure of technological innovation. This is the idea behind the patented “C-Top” system, which enables a yacht to be transformed from open to coupé mode and vice versa. On the 76’ Bahamas, it effectively doubles the comfort and fun to be enjoyed on board. “Written into the 76’ Bahamas is Riva's current DNA: a perfect synthesis of history and tradition, of innovation and technology, of elegance and performance” says Alberto Galassi, Chief Executive Officer of the Ferretti Group. “The new convertible epitomises the synergy between excellence in yacht design and excellence in naval engineering that has produced a super sports boat. With graceful lines and rich in technical features, it is built using cutting-edge materials and sails like a dream. Owners will enjoy an unforgettable experience thanks to the sophisticated Mediterranean lifestyle offered by this yacht.”

Iseo is a trailer-towable 27-foot open yacht ideal for those who love cruising on both lake and sea, thanks to its easy maneuverability. It features Riva’s unmistakable design style. It is also perfect for anyone wishing to make their yacht even more precious with an exclusive tender featuring water jet propulsion and allowing cruising even in very shallow waters. Iseo is the first boat in its class boasting an infotainment system and GPS charting based on the Apple iPad platform. Its software, specifically developed for Riva, offers very interesting functions.

This is the model that more than anyone else reflects Riva's natural stylistic evolution from the past to modern times. The soft, stylish lines of this 33-footer fully embody a sense of tradition; the fine, skillfully crafted timber (mahogany with maple inlays) used for the deck and the elegant leather finishes on the dashboard and the steering wheel enhance the pleasure of cruising on a timeless, classical yacht, offering unmatched comfort and emotions. The innovative electronic two-speed gearbox, installed on the standard version, allows the two powerful 370 hp Yanmar engines to accelerate even faster and ensures outstanding performances. Aquariva has become the symbol of Riva’s modern elegance and unique style and has met with great success on all continents, just like the legendary Aquarama.
