The star of the show at Borgo Santandrea is the new Riva 54METRI, joined by a fleet of boats representing the various Ferretti Group brands for a memorable event celebrating style, elegance and Italian hospitality.

A dream event in one of the world's most beautiful locations, featuring spectacular boats and unforgettable moments. Held against the breathtaking backdrop of Borgo Santandrea in Amalfi - the sophisticated five-star resort located in the heart of the Amalfi Coast - "Midsummer Dream" was the exclusive weekend event organised by Ferretti Group to celebrate the splendour of Italian summer and Italian yachting.

The event, reserved for owners of the Group's brands, began with a toast to mark the opening of the new Riva Lounge in Borgo Santandrea, which joins the list of magnificent Riva Destinations located in the Mediterranean's best-known resorts. Unrivalled elegance in which to enjoy the timeless appeal of the Riva brand and the enchanting atmosphere of the dolce vita lifestyle.

The undisputed star of "Midsummer Dream" was the majestic Riva 54METRI, the largest Riva ever built, accompanied by a fantastic fleet representing the various Ferretti Group brands. Built entirely from aluminium, Riva's new flagship was presented during the evening accompanied by a spectacular drone show that lit up the sky over the Amalfi Coast, following an elegant dinner with entertainment provided by a tableau vivant and artistic performances.

The event culminated in a magical Beach White Party, at which a summer evening by the sea was made even more beautiful by exquisite Italian hospitality and crowned by a breathtaking fireworks display framed against the Mediterranean sky.

For this special occasion, Ferretti Group was joined by official automotive partner Range Rover, which showcased the model Range Rover SV Intrepid, while the brand's outstanding wine partner was Marchesi Antinori.
