A new 76-ft Ferretti yacht is making its regional debut at the Dubai International Boat Show, which is currently under way in Dubai, UAE.

The Italian yacht builder is participating at the show in collaboration with its local dealers Art Marine and Sea Pros, by lining up a fleet of seven yachts representing its Riva and Pershing brands.

Making its première in the UAE is the 76’ Perseo, the new coupé of the Riva fleet that has already conquered world markets owing to its sportiness, elegance and performance.

“The Middle East has always been a flourishing market for our Group, and our yachts can often be admired in these waters,” says Stefano de Vivo, Chief Commercial Officer of Ferretti Group.

“It is also for this reason that we decided to take part in this event with even greater commitment.

Moreover, we can rely on a solid sales network in this region, consisting of two exclusive dealers with whom we have been working on very good terms for many years: Sea Pros and Art Marine.

In the future Ferretti Group aims to gain further market share in this area, which now plays a crucial role in the growth strategies of companies that operate in the luxury segment."

The more than 30,000 visitors expected for the event this year will be able to admire another six of the Group's most successful models: Pershing 62, Riva 27’ Iseo, Riva 68’ Ego Super, Riva 88’ Domino Super, Riva 88’ Florida and Riva 92’ Duchessa.

The Dubai show will be an opportunity to present the latest innovations of the group in the Middle East in detail, and the new projects already in progress for the Ferretti Yachts, Pershing, Riva and Custom Line brands, ready to début in the second half of 2016 and in 2017.


76’ PERSEO

The new 76’ coupé is designed to feel part of a family composed of other models in the sports range, and is “the perfect extension of a fleet of true masterpieces founded in the recent products designed by Riva”.

The yacht grabs your attention at first glance for its sporty yet elegant look, thanks in part to the choice of colours.

The sporty look is enhanced even more by over 430 sq ft of windows: the large windows in both bulwarks of the hull are two elliptical shapes that are almost touching each other, linked by the Riva logo in one of the materials that has always been a hallmark of this famous brand, hi-gloss stainless steel.

The lateral windows on the main deck are also “cut through” by a lifeline fitted to the ends of the superstructure: this solution highlights the dynamic personality of the profile and the dimensions of the windows benefitting the main lounge, as well as being a useful support along the outer walkways.

The generous windscreen is supported by a central pillar and has been maximised specifically to offer the captain the best and widest view.

The generous sun deck is integrated gracefully into the yacht’s aerodynamic lines and is an ideal space for relaxing in total privacy, as well as making steering possible from a privileged position.

Ferretti is a world leader in the design, construction and sale of motor yachts and pleasure vessels, with a unique portfolio of prestigious and exclusive brands: Ferretti Yachts, Riva, Pershing, Itama, Mochi Craft, CRN and Custom Line. 

Led by Chairman Tan Xuguang and Chief Executive Officer Alberto Galassi, the Ferretti Group can boast modern shipyards located across Italy, which combine the efficiency of industrial production with typical world-class Italian craftsmanship - the heritage of Italy's centuries-old yachting tradition.

Established in 1968, the group is also present in the US through its subsidiary Ferretti Group America, and in Asia, through its subsidiary Ferretti Group Asia Pacific, based in Hong Kong, as well as representative offices and sales centres in Shanghai, Qingdao and other locations in China.
