Ferretti Group has announced that it will stage six world premieres at this year’s Cannes Yachting Festival (September 9-14) along with the Ferretti Yachts 940 and Pershing GTX70, which both debuted at this year’s Venice Boat Show (May 29-June 2).
Riva’s 112’ Dolcevita Super – an upgrade of the 110’ Dolcevita – will be the largest of four Riva premieres in Cannes. The superyacht can top 25 knots with two 2,638mhp MTU 16V engines, while highlights include a 59sqm aft cockpit featuring a 35sqm beach club with large fold-down sides. The 60sqm flybridge features a spacious aft area with freestanding furniture, a cocktail bar with stools, and a retractable TV opposite a large central sofa.
The saloon is available with sofas at the entrance leading forward to the dining area, or an aft dining area and lounge midships. In the owner’s suite, enlarged windows bring in more natural light, while a double walk-in wardrobe adds both space and practicality.
The 112’ Dolcevita Super will be complemented by the world premieres of Riva’s 58’ Capri, Cento and Aquariva Special. Earlier this year, the three smaller models were shown to a select crowd at the Riva Private World Premiere, held at the brand’s historic Sarnico shipyard on Lake Iseo in northern Italy.
The 58’ Capri evolves from the 56’ Rivale platform and draws design inspiration from the 68’ Diable, and is available with twin 1,000mhp or 1,200mhp MAN V8 engines, the latter powering the yacht to 37 knots.
A new addition to Riva’s Open series, the 58’ Capri features a streamline hardtop with a retractable electric bimini and a forward-facing air intake that can be opened electrically. Below deck are two double cabins for guests and one for crew, while the aft garage can house either a Williams TurboJet 325 tender or a TurboJet 285 alongside a Seabob.
The 39ft Cento is a limited-edition model produced to celebrate the 100th unit of the Rivamare and can reach 40 knots with twin Volvo Penta Aquamatic Duoprop D6-440 DPI engines. Building on the Rivamare design, the Cento features an updated swim platform with an electro-hydraulic hatch that opens to create a beach area complete with chaise longues, storage for fenders and Seabobs, and a retractable gangway.
The seating area can be converted into a sunbathing space due to a height-adjustable electric table, and can be sheltered by an electro-hydraulic bimini integrated into the C-shaped sofa. Other design additions include an aft handrail fully integrated into the hull profile.
Upgraded soft furnishings include two upholstery colour options: biscuit or a combination of aquamarine and white. Inside, the large convertible dinette follows the contours of the hull and transforms into a double berth. The cabin is bright and airy, due to a redesigned bow skylight and wide side windows.
The 33ft Aquariva Special is the first model to be given the ‘Special’ designation since the upgrade of the brand’s iconic Aquarama.
The spiritual successor of the Aquarama, the Aquariva has been in production since 2001, with 300 units produced in 24 years. Fitted with a 370hp Yanmar 8LV, the Aquariva Special can cruise at 36 knots and reach 41.5 knots.
New features include redesigned bow navigation lights, a sleeker, more aerodynamic double-glazed spherical windscreen, an enlarged stern platform for easier access to the sea, and updated cushions with new colours and refined chiaroscuro effects. The bridge instrumentation is analogue in the standard version but available in a digital version.
Along with the four Riva models, the Ferretti Yachts 800 and Itama 54 will also be among the global debuts in Cannes.
The Ferretti Yachts 800 completes the Flybridge range renewal that began in 2018 and is another collaboration between Ferretti Group’s Product Strategy Committee led by Piero Ferrari and its Engineering Department, Filippo Salvetti for exterior design and IdeaeItalia for the interiors.
The yacht has an overall length of 80ft 3in – or under 24m with an optional shorter stern platform – and has a 19ft 5in beam. Highlights include the 40sqm flybridge, while the saloon has the option of a sliding door on the starboard side. The yacht has a top speed of 27 knots with two 1,550hp MAN V12 engines or 31 knots with the optional 1,800hp versions.
The Itama 54, available with 730hp or 850hp MAN i6 engines, expands the brand’s range by making a return to the 50-59ft open cruiser runabout segment. Tommaso De Luca handled the exterior styling and the interior design in collaboration with Ferretti Group’s Product Strategy Committee and Engineering Department.
The design of the 54-footer with a 15ft 6in beam stays true to the brand’s pared-down style, although innovations include the large forward sunpad built into the deck and an outward-angled transom, which is covered by an aft-facing sunpad.
Firsts include side glazing running the entire length of the hull and an exterior living space featuring two separate seating areas, aft and fore, while a bench-seat helm station to port completes the main deck. The lower deck includes two cabins, two bathrooms, a galley and a dinette.
