Ferretti Yachts confirms its position as an ambassador for made in Italy excellence: accolade for Altura 840 at the ''Caesar Awards''
2008年12月17日
In the presence of 200 selected guests, including Romanian Prime Minister Calin Popescu Tariceanu, Ion Tiriac, Ilie Nastase and Nadia Comaneci, the prizegiving "Awards Gala" ceremony rewarded excellence in international luxury, divided into product categories.
In the "nautical luxury" sector, Ferretti Altura 840 won the title of "CAESAR BEST YACHT", an accolade given to the yacht built by the Forlì-based yard "for the skill it displayed in creating a harmony between classic elements and new design trends".
The Altura 840 - presented in world preview at the Cannes Boat Show 2008 - marks an evolution and renewal for the yard, extending the historic series born in the mid-1970s with Altura 42 followed in the 1980s by the Altura 46 and Altura 49, "pioneer" models that opened up an age of motoryachting with cutting edge innovation. Altura 840 now stands alongside Altura 690, which provided the inspiration behind the design project, as an extremely comfortable yacht with generous, welcoming spaces and high navigation performances.
"Altura 840 embodies the synthesis between the concept of an aft-cabin motoryacht, with the master cabin aft, conceived for medium and long range cruising, and the flying bridge - explains Marco Segato, Vice President Sales Ferretti Yachts - based on a design solution that allows no compromises on the high quality, technology, comfort and design typical of Ferretti. We're really proud that these distinctive elements of our excellence have been awarded this important prize".
At the ceremony, held at Crown Plaza in Bucharest, the Ferretti Yachts management celebrated winning this prestigious award with Francos Marina, the dealer for Romania.
