AQUARIVA #200
Aquariva, the historical Riva 33 footer developed in the year 2000 by the designers at Officina Italiana Design, the exclusive designer of all the yachts in the Riva range, AYT – Advanced Yachts Technology, Ferretti Group’s naval research and design centre, and the team of architects and designers of Centro Stile Ferrettigroup, is on display with the prestigious unit #200. Designed as the hier of the legendary Aquarama, Aquariva has become a symbol of elegance and timeless style and is now one of the most famous, best loved yachts in the world. From her predecessor, she has inherited the success which continues nonstop, season after season, Aquariva has established herself as out and out classic of the nautical world, going far beyond fleeting fashion and becoming, thanks to the perfection of her details, a model adored by the international jet-set.The soft, elegant lines of her 33 feet carry the flavour of tradition, and the valuable woods used for the deck - mahogany inlaid in maple - are beautifully processed. The exclusive leather finishes of the elegant dashboard and helm enhance the pleasure of cruising, offering both excitement and unparalleled comfort.

Very first project produced after the shipyard was purchased by the Ferretti Group, Aquariva has celebrated the achievement of two important targets in just eleven years In 2006, on occasion of the production of the 100th yacht, a limited edition called Aquariva Cento was created, just ten units, all of which were sold before they even entered production.
FERRETTI 750
Result of the cooperation between Studio Zuccon International Project, AYT - Advanced Yacht Technology, the Group’s naval research and desing centre and the of architects and designers of Centro Stile Ferrettigroup, Ferretti 750 is a yacht with a strong personality: a yacht featuring an inclination for clasical style but with elegant, contemporary stilisti touches, coming from a passionate technical and aesthetical research in order to obtain a “manifesto” of made in Italy excellence. The external profile is sleek and streamlined thanks to the graphic lines of the windows, that cover almost completely the main deck, and feature a succession of sinous curves and straight lines, like the three “branchial shark” windows. On the hull, in addiction to the open view windows of the Owner’s cabin, new typologies of windows that feature portholes have been inserted to enhance the presence of natural light in every guest zone. On the flybridge the pilot station has been placed further back and in central position t ogive a broader view for navigation and piloting the yacht. The wide salon of Ferretti 750, is plunged in natural light. The interior has been managed to obtain two separated areas – living and dining – but keeping in the meanwhile an harmonious continuity of space without interruption for the view. At bow is located the pilot house with dinette/charting zone and extendable table. On the lower deck, all the cabins are completed by private heads and they are distinguished by studied details. The Owner’s suite is located in the centre of the boat. At bow is located the VIP cabin. Ferretti 750mounts two MTU 2000 M92 1381 mhp or, upon request, 2 MTU 2000 M94 1623 mhp. With this last motorization and hard top version, the maximum speed is 33,5 knots,
PERSHING 58’
Intense in its performance, rich and varied in its nature and generous in comfort. The newPershing 58' is the natural evolution of the Pershing 56'. The boat, with an 18 metre long hull, reaches a maximum velocity of 48 knots and a cruising velocity of 44 with two MAN engines of 1360 mhp each and surface propellers. Characterized by large volumes and complete luminosity due to the direct contact with the sea, the yacht designer Fulvio De Simoni, the stylist of the project, in collaboration with the Ayt (Advanced Yacht Technology) of the Ferretti Group, once again stresses the "family feeling" concept that guided the stylistic choices of the new restyling. The slender superstructure with its new wider lateral windows, which complement the profile of the hull, is entirely in harmony with the most modern styles of the Pershing concept. The boat has a standard layout with 3 cabins (a full beam master cabin and two guest cabins - a VIP one at the bow and a guest cabin with twin beds at the starboard of the boat), the first two with an en-suite and a third bathroom which can be used for the guest cabin with twin beds and which can also be used as a bathroom for guests. The boat has a crew cabin. The cockpit, which is wider and more comfortable, has two L-shaped sofas which create a wide lounge area, an important aspect for outdoor living. Upon request there is also the possibility of having a kitchen area in the cockpit. The area below deck is very comfortable and particular attention has been given to the detail. The new translucent doors are worth mentioning which are made of frosted glass and separate the master cabin from its bathroom and the dinette from the galley. The result is simply elegant: more natural light in all areas and special attention given to the privacy of the guests. The contemporary design of the interior is also enhanced by the presence of oak. The wide and comfortable garage can store an optional tender 3.25 metres long.
MOCHI CRAFT DOLPHIN 54’ SUN TOP
Result of cooperation between architect Brunello Acampora from Studio Victory Design, with Norberto Ferretti, the AYT (Advanced Yacht Technology), the Group’s naval research and design centre and the team of architects and designers of Ferretti Group’s Centro Stile, Dolphin 54’ (available also in flybridge version) is a reference point in the lobster boats segment. In fact the design solutions include a reconfiguration of on board spaces, giving this 16 metre yacht the light and comfort of a much larger yacht. The beauty and practicality of the wood extends throughout the yacht’s interior and exterior surfaces, right up to the bows, where there are two luxurious sun pads accommodating up to three people; the cockpit provides access to both a sun top or the flybridge, and the practical garage, which opens hydraulically to reveal a tender ready for immediate use. Guests entering the salon will be enchanted by the light flooding in through the wide windows, opening onto a perfect combination of sea and sky. Quality hides in natural colours reflect the elegance of the salon, furnished with a roomy C-shaped divan and an extendable teak table. The spacious, well-equipped galley extends along the starboard side of the salon, encouraging an atmosphere of warm sociability. The command console is located forward, to port. Lower deck, at the end of the corridor lies the owner’s stateroom, a suite with two sweeping windows, while two guest cabins are sited to either side of the central corridor. Dolphin 54’ is powered by two latest generation Common Rail MAN 800 Hp engines providing a cruising speed of 28 knots and a top speed of 32 knots.
