Ferretti Group puts a shine on its hulls and warms up its engines ready for the sixth Venice Boat Show held from May 29 to June 2.

The Group is bringing seven marine masterpieces to the show, led by two world premieres: Pershing GTX70 and Ferretti Yachts 940.

Launched in March, Pershing GTX70 is the third model in the Sport Utility Yachts range and a new addition that heralds in Pershing's 40th anniversary year. Pershing GTX70 delivers the sporty spirit and incredibly liveable spaces of the previous models, but in a more compact format that promises a sensational new on-board experience in seamless contact with the sea.

Ferretti Yachts 940 is making her first public appearance at the Boat Show after the launch in January at the Cattolica shipyard. This widebody "home on the water" is the largest yacht in the range and a perfect blend of refined design and sheer space, created as somewhere to share the ultimate cruising experience with guests while basking in moments of relaxation and comfort.

The two yachts making their debut will be joined by five boats representing the Riva, Itama, Pershing and Wally brands:

  • Dolceriva
  • Riva 68' Diable
  • Itama 45RS
  • Pershing 8X
  • wallywhy100

At the Venice Boat Show too, Ferretti Group celebrates the bond between yachting and high-end products in the form of collaborations with prestigious Italian and international luxury brands including Dolce & Gabbana, the designer of the Group's tailor-made staff uniforms. Local partners include Hotel Gritti Palace, whose iconic terrace is home to the Riva Lounge; Lavazza offers its new aromatic coffee blends and Range Rover is official automotive partner; wine partner La Scolca offers a refined selection of wines, with beverages provided by Aperol; Seabob showcases the brand's magnificent limited editions featuring custom livery specially created for the Group's brands; Frette, Lanerossi and Zimmer + Rohde are exclusive interior decor and home accessory partners; the irresistible fragrances from Atelier Rebul permeate the ambiences with their intriguing charm; Venini showcases a selection of fine Murano glass chandeliers; and Zanta furnishes its pianos. The line-up of top tier partners is completed by Bang & Olufsen, Flexjet and Torello.
