  • Azimut 80

    Azimut 80

    Dedicating space to well-being.

    The new 24 metre Azimut Yachts interprets contemporary lifestyle by offering exceptional comfort: four cabins, five bathrooms and a 42 square metre flybridge. The innovative solutions introduced for the furnishings and the precise lighting design do the rest.

    The new Azimut 80 is the first yacht measuring more than 72 feet designed entirely at Azimut’s headquarters at Avigliana, Italy. It builds on the experience of recent, larger vessels developed in the exterior design by Stefano Righini while the design of interiors was handled by Achille Salvagni Architetti.

    The Azimut 80 is a leisure craft built in CE class: A, and is thus able to tackle any weather conditions. The layout comprises 4 cabins, all with bathroom, including the owner’s cabin extending over the full beam. The yacht can accommodate 8 guests and includes an enormous flybridge, designed for maximum versatility of use.

    ALWAYS IN TOUCH WITH THE SEA… AND PLENTY OF SPACE: THE GUEST IS KING
    Panoramic windows and maximum convenience for the guests’ cabins revolutionise the way of cruising.

    The sense of space in the owner’s cabin and in the splendid bathroom are certainly among the strong points of the yacht, together with the innovative windows offering extraordinary luminosity and an unmatched panoramic view. The five vertical windows effectively transform the bulkheads into a single window for a ‘dive into the ocean’ effect. The owner’s bathroom, covering the entire beam of the yacht and with a double entrance located aft of the cabin, is almost a spa, with a central crystal shower box offering maximum visibility on either side of the bathroom. The opening portholes present in all the cabins offer a high level of natural ventilation.
    Yachts middle east -  Azimut - 80 - Interior - 1
    In the first model available, dove coloured leather panels with a barely hinted padded decoration that becomes lighter and lighter in the various cabins, adorn the bed heads of each cabin. The interior decoration of the new Azimut 80 is extremely refined and at the same contemporary, thanks to the combination of fine materials and modern touches: marble for the bathrooms, grey bleached oak alternating with dark wood and painted detailing in the skylights and windows all define a sober, sophisticated atmosphere. Other stylistic combinations are already in the pipeline.

    The starboard cabin has two single beds and the possibility of a third fold down bed, plenty of stowage and a bathroom with separate shower, while the guests’ cabin on the port side has a double bed. There is no lack of large windows and opening portholes. In the VIP cabin located further forward, there is one panoramic window on either side; the bed is set centrally with the head towards the bow.

    A carefully planned lighting design based on LED technology makes possible a sophisticated modulation of the light in each interior space. Moreover, the play of mirrors and the height of the interiors – well over two metres high – ensure a truly exceptional sense of space.

    The crew’s cabins are located aft, with direct access from the deck; at the moment, two beds are planned, but the possibility of adding a third is currently being studied.

    A SALON AND INTERNAL SPACES BROUGHT TO LIFE WITH LIGHT
    Light and comfort are the key concepts underlying the design of the main deck.

    The cockpit with teak flooring is extremely spacious and dedicated to socialising, with a large sofa aft and dining table seating eight. The design of two sky ground windows (1.6 m by 2 m of glass) located in the dining area is very impressive, as it offers a fantastic natural light and breathtaking view.

    The galley, fitted with Miele appliances, is available in two versions: enclosed or open space. In both cases, there is a double access, towards the interior and towards the exterior, to assure maximum independence between guests and crew. The main deck is also equipped with a function day toilet.

    LIVING IN THE OPEN AIR: EXTRA LARGE SPACES TO BE ENJOYED UNTIL THE EVENING
    The swimming platform measuring almost 9 square metres and the large fly are the pride and joy of the new Azimut 80.

    The swimming platform is incredibly large – almost 9 square metres – and provides plenty of room for the launch and retrieval of tenders exceeding 4 metres in length or of jet skis.
    Further forward, the space is divided into a large sun deck that can comfortably accommodate four people, and an area with a ‘C’ shaped sofa just aft of the windscreen, with further storage.
    Yachts middle east -  Azimut - 80 - Interior
    The fly: 42 square metres of versatile space lending itself to a variety of uses. The seating is a combination of ‘L’ shaped sofas that can be configured as desired. Alongside the helm, there are two sofas positioned in a ‘C’ facing the large table seating eight. The fly is an ideal place from morning to evening; a convenient and well equipped bar unit has a barbecue, refrigerator and sink, but also houses a retractable 42 inch TV and constitutes the base for an elegant Plexiglas bar counter. Further aft, the second area offers maximum flexibility in terms of fittings: it can be left unencumbered, furnished with sofas, set aside for the tender or as a sun deck, or fitted with a hydromassage. The Azimut 80 can also be constructed with an opening hard top and rolling awning towards the stern. A sophisticated style is assured for the outdoor soft furnishings, lined in technological materials offering a ‘fabric’ effect. Coloured dark brown, they include some padded details.

    In the engine room, the two 1550 hp MAN engines provide a top speed of 30 knots. The fuel tank has a capacity of 6,000 litres, while the water tank can contain 1,200 litres. As optional extras, the yacht can be fitted with electric CMC Marine stabilising fins.

    Azimut Yachts at Motor Boat Awards 2014: Double triumph of Azimut 80 and Azimut Atlantis 34

    Azimut Yachts has a special reason to toast the New Year. The company based in Avigliana, Italy opens the year 2014 with two prizes at the 2014 Motor Boat
    Awards, a contest organised by authoritative British magazines Motor Boat & Yachting and Motor Boats Monthly.

    Azimut 80 won the award in the ‘Flybridge over 55 feet’ category, while Azimut Atlantis 34 won in the ‘Sportcruiser up to 45 feet’ category.
    Yachts middle east - Azimut - Atlantis 43 - power boat
    The prestigious awards were officially presented on the occasion of the London Boat Show on January 6 by a panel of judges including the magazines’ editors and experienced boat testers on the basis of the results of tests conducted at sea with the vessels over the past twelve months and published in the magazines. The finalists in each of the nine categories were required to undergo rigorous, thorough testing procedures before the judges made their final decisions.

    “These awards boost the importance of these two yachts, already recognised unique in their category in the previous months” underlines Francesco Ansalone, Marketing Director of Azimut|Benetti Group. “Azimut fans have already demonstrated their appreciation for both vessels, each of which presents decidedly innovative content and sophisticated solutions adopted to respond to the tastes and demands of an increasingly well-informed, evolving clientele. Receiving further confirmation of the success of these decisions from top experts in the field brings us all great satisfaction and encouragement to continue producing vessels which are the product of Italian creativity and skill but also, and above all, of on-going research and application of the best technologies.”

  • AZIMUT YACHTS AT THE 2015 CANNES BOAT SHOW

    AZIMUT YACHTS AT THE 2015 CANNES BOAT SHOW

    TWO WORLD PREMIERE AND A FLEET OF FIFTEEN YACHTS

    Azimut Yachts will open the International Boat Show season in style. The events will start in a few months with the Cannes Boat Show, which will run from September 8th to September 13th. The Italian shipyard will present a fleet of fifteen yachts, two of which will be a world premiere: the Azimut Magellano 66 and the Azimut 72.

    For the Azimut Magellano 66, a 20-meter megayacht that offers the freedom of longrange cruises surrounded by the elegance and comforts of a real house, the first renderings are already available. Fifth model of the Magellano Collection, shares with the previous the Dual Mode hull, which ensures comfortable sailing whatever the sea conditions are. Surprisingly spacious interiors and a spectacular terrace on the flybridge are the most striking features on a yacht that promises to combine the adventure of a long cruise with all the domestic comfort. Available also in her Navetta version, main salon and dining area can be separated – if required – from the kitchen and the steering area, so to ensure a total privacy, while the entire main deck extends on one level with huge windows overlooking the sea. The usual very large storage spaces inside and outside makes it possible to keep everything in order. A true sophisticated, timeless interior style.
    Yachts middle east -  Azimut - 80 - at cannes
    Yet to be discovered is the Azimut 72 totally new, starting from the concept itself to the use of highly technical construction methods with extensive use of carbon fibre. This model, however, will amaze for her proportions: sleek exteriors spaces perfectly harmonized with spacious interiors.

    Among all the models that visitors will find moored at the dock, representing the entire Azimut fleet and its five Collections, special consideration will be given to the new Atlantis 43 premiered at the Düsseldorf Boat Show in January 2015. Sleek with sporty lines, the new model truly represents not just the design flexibility of Azimut but also the genuine “Made in Italy” style: owners have the option of customising the interior with prestigious Italian-made fabrics by Missoni Home and Loro Piana Interiors.

  • Ferretti Group confirms its commitment to the italian market by taking part as a leader in Genoa International Boat Show with a fleet of 8 yachts, including two absolute premieres for Italy

    Ferretti Group confirms its commitment to the italian market by taking part as a leader in Genoa International Boat Show with a fleet of 8 yachts, including two absolute premieres for Italy

    Genoa, 1st October 2014 – Ferretti Group, a world leader in the design, construction and sale of luxury motor yachts, confirms its presence at the 54th Genoa International Boat Show, being held from 1st through 6th October 2014. The Group’s main goal during this event will be introducing Italy too to an exclusive selection of some of its brands’ most important models, which are true ambassadors of Italian style all over the world.

    “Following the success it met among the public and critics alike as well as in terms of sales at the recent Cannes Yachting Festival and the presentation in Monaco of Riva’s new full custom line (which will include steel yachts between 50 and 100 metres in length), the Group proudly continues to take part in the world’s leading boat shows. In Genoa it is displaying some of the most exclusive models of its Made-in-Italy production”, commented Mr Alberto Galassi, Ferretti Group’s CEO. “We are even prouder to be present in Genoa, this year, with two of our newest models that best represent our Group’s ‘new era’, characterised by a renewed focus on products and technological innovation as well as design. Indeed, I believe that a Group like ours – which is a symbol of Italy all over the world – simply could not miss the leading boat show in Italy”.

    At the 54th Genoa Boat Show Ferretti Group is displaying a fleet consisting of 8 boats, 2 of which are absolute premieres for Italy: the Ferretti Custom Line Navetta 28 – the latest model in the semi-displacement line, featuring a sinuous profile and a refined design, as well as state-of-the-art technological innovations including an exclusive patent – and the Pershing 70 – an impressive, futuristic-look megayacht that stands out for its aerodynamic lines, elegant style and unique performances. Genoa Boat Show’s visitors will also be able to admire a selection of some of the Group’s most successful models: the Ferretti Yachts 960 and Ferretti Yachts 750 representing Ferretti Yachts, the Itama 62’ for Itama, the Rivarama Super and the Rivale for Riva, and the Dolphin 74’ Cruiser representing the Mochi Craft brand.

    Moreover, this year as well a highly-qualified, dedicated staff will accompany clients and prospects in exciting sea trials that will allow them to experience first-hand the true excellence of Ferretti Group yachts.

    The two Italian premieres taking part at the 2014 Genoa International Boat Show:

    FERRETTI CUSTOM LINE NAVETTA 28
    The Ferretti Custom Line Navetta 28 can boast a wide range of new solutions. It is immediately recognisable for its unmistakable outer profile and for the panoramic dining area with circular sliding glazed doors ensuring a very flexible use of the upper deck. The spacious sun deck is a comfortable private deck, which, upon request, can be fitted with a Jacuzzi and an awning. On the main deck, an uninterrupted glazing stretches from stern to bow, while four innovative hull windows, installed for the first time on this model, can be admired on the lower deck at the height of the four guest cabins. The most important new feature on this yacht, however, can be found aft: it is the Dual Mode Transom (DMT), a Ferretti Group patent allowing to combine into one single system a float-in garage, a swimming platform lowering into the water, and a beach club of unprecedented size on models in this segment. Audio/video systems are also extremely innovative, thanks to the “VOTIS” (Videoworks One Touch Infotainment System) system, which allows to control the onboard entertainment system through an iPad, thereby replacing all the remote controls of the various appliances installed in the main-deck salon with one single device. This control system may also be extended to other areas of the yacht. As regards propulsion, the Ferretti Custom Line Navetta 28 is equipped with two MAN V8 1200 mhp engines, allowing it to reach a maximum speed of 16 knots and a cruising speed of 13.5 knots. The yacht is also fitted with standard electro-hydraulic underway fins and gyroscopic stabilisers.

    PERSHING 70
    The Pershing 70 strikes for its futuristic look and innovative design, characterised by two large structural wings that make it look like a ‘fighter plane’ converted into a yacht. It is easily recognisable for its aerodynamic shape, elegant style and unique performances, as it ‘flies’ over the water at maximum speed. The interiors too stand out for their innovative layout and décor, which stands out for a skilful use of contrasting colours throughout the main deck and in the galley and the three guest cabins below deck. This new 70-footer – the symbol of a new generation of Pershing yachts – will undoubtedly conquer those owners looking for emotions, power, beauty, technology and safety. The yacht is fitted with twin MTU 10V 2000 M94 engines (developing a power of 1,623 mhp), combined with a Top System 85P surface drive system, allowing to achieve a maximum speed of 46 knots and a cruising speed of 40 knots.

  • Iseo wins the “Croatian Boat of the Year” Award 2015

    Iseo wins the “Croatian Boat of the Year” Award 2015

    Sarnico (Italy), 27th February 2015 – Riva, the iconic Ferretti Group brand and legend on the international boating scene, has added another award to its trophy cabinet already bursting with successes from 173 years of shipbuilding.
    The latest prize winner is the ISEO, the jewel in the crown of the open range launched in July 2011 which manages to condense all the inimitable style and elegance of the Italian brand into just 27 feet.
    The runabout was one of the winners at the 2015 “Croatian Boat of Year” awards organised by the industry magazine “Naucat”. The official awards ceremony took place at the “Zagreb Boat Show”, which was held in the Croatian city from the 18th to 22nd of February.

    ISEO took the award for Best Motor Boat in the 29 feet and under category, once again showing it is not just a ‘must-have’ for those who love cruising on both lakes and the sea, but also a boat with a unique and inimitable design.
    While it is certainly the perfect runabout for day cruising, it is also a budding design icon which is perfect for those wishing to enhance their mega yacht with an exclusive tender that will never go unnoticed.

    The “Croatian Boat of the Year” Award represents an important European recognition for the boating industry, as the winners, divided into six categories, are selected from a shortlist of over twenty models. The international jury is made up of the manufacturers themselves, professionals from the sector who are therefore best placed to choose the best model in each specific category.

    “We are very proud to receive this award, as it confirms how Riva’s excellence and style are admired and recognised throughout its wide-ranging fleet, from the 27-foot ISEO right up to the 100-metre Full Custom range,” stated Stefano de Vivo, Chief Commercial Officer of Ferretti Group. “ISEO, in particular, is a sleek and refined product, which as well as satisfying requirements for comfort, ease of transport and immediate use, is also oozing with style and an object of desire for boat owners all over the world.”

     

    RIVA ISEO
    A ‘must-have’ for those who love cruising on both lakes and the sea, ISEO has unique and breathtaking looks, an elegant design and superb stern-driven handling. She is also perfect for anyone wishing to enhance their mega yacht with an exclusive tender with water jet propulsion. The size and design criteria for ISEO were selected to allow the owner to enjoy their boat wherever and whenever they wish. For this reason, ISEO also has her own custom-made trailer, allowing the owner to transport the vessel wherever they wish to go. It is the first craft in its class with an infotainment system and GPS charting based on the Apple iPad platform. Its software was specifically developed for Riva with many interesting features, such as the possibility to browse the owner’s manual, check the weather, listen to the radio, stream a TV show or enjoy your own playlists by simply connecting your iPad to the on-board Hi-Fi system via Bluetooth.

  • The 88’ Domino Super gets its first triplet

    The 88’ Domino Super gets its first triplet

    La Spezia, 14th July 2015 – While enthusiasm is still lingering in the air for the fabulous première held last May in Monaco, the Riva 88’ Domino Super is already celebrating its first achievement: just a few weeks after its official launch, Ferretti Group announces the sale of the first 3 hulls of the new Riva coupé yacht.

    “The official presentation of the 88’ Domino Super at the Yacht Club de Monaco was a very exciting moment and now, we can surely say that event was the starting point of what is already a commercial success. Less than two months after, Riva and the Ferretti Group are proud to announce the sale of three yachts”, commented Ferretti Group’s Chief Commercial Officer, Stefano de Vivo.

    The three yachts have been sold in three different markets, showing how the 88’ Domino Super has been welcomed enthusiastically at an international level: the first hull will go to an Owner from continental Europe, the second one will be delivered in the Asia-Pacific, meanwhile the third will cruise across Middle-East seas.

    These are the first positive results of a commercial strategy aimed at confirming the leadership of the Ferretti Group’s most iconic brand across the world.

    88’ Domino Super
    The 88’ Domino Super is characterized by a slender profile and an extensive restyling, the 88′ Domino Super is bound to set new standards in the yachting sector as a whole in terms of style, comfort, and performance. The new model is called Super also because it marks the evolution of the species. The 88’ Domino Super yacht immediately strikes the eye with its aerodynamic lines, which are also enhanced by the hull’s original colour shade, the dark ‘London Grey’, in pleasant contrast with the lighter ‘Moon Grey’ chosen for the superstructure. This innovative feature goes hand in hand with other new design solutions: the new sun deck, which highlights the yacht’s sporty character while offering its guests additional comfort; the large continuous hull glazing, resulting in a truly aggressive look; and the restyled aft area, which adds the final touch to the yacht’s dynamic personality. The aft swimming platform, which can be lowered into the sea, makes diving into the water and getting back onboard much easier, as well as enhancing tender launching and haulage operations.

    In the standard version, the yacht is equipped with two MTU 16V 2000 M93, 2435 Mhp engines, allowing it to reach a maximum speed of 38 knots and a cruising speed of 34 knots. As an option, two MTU 16V 2000 M94, 2638 Mhp engines can be installed instead, pushing the yacht up to 40 knots and ensuring a cruising speed of 35 knots.

  • Pershing launched its third pershing 108 foot maxi yacht

    Pershing launched its third pershing 108 foot maxi yacht

    Fano (Italy), June 2015 – Over the last few days, the Marina dei Cesari in Fano (Italy) has experienced another thrilling occasion in the glorious thirty-year history of Pershing.

    The third unit of the Pershing 108 has descended into the water, rewarding the commitment of all the Mondolfo production shipyard workers and of the Pershing quay too, who, due to the marine weather conditions, had to pay the utmost attention during the travel lift movement and launch operations.

    During these weeks on board this fantastic three-engine vessel, the interior furnishings and non-structural décor will be completed. The interior of the new maxi yacht has been entirely customized by the Owner, who was assisted in every design stage by Ferretti Group’s architects and designers, to create a ship that fully reflects his style and aesthetic taste.

    At the same time, technical testing will be carried out on the new vessel, on the systems, and all the control and infotainment software will be checked, in addition to the performance trials.

    These tests – carried out with the utmost care by Pershing’s engineers and Ferretti Group’s Engineering Department – are extremely important for a brand such as Pershing, which for 30 years has made technological and engine performance, as well as constant product innovation, its mission to guide its future.

    After the official delivery to the European Owner, the new Pershing 108 is ready to plough the waters of the Mediterranean, its thrilling beauty embellishing the most captivating views of the European seas.

    Pershing 108
    The Pershing 108, from its very first appearances, has surprised and impressed owners and enthusiasts over the world, thanks to its extraordinary mix of versatility, innovation and technology, which makes it a maxi yacht that’s ahead of its time.

    The result of collaboration between yacht designer Fulvio De Simoni and the Ferretti Group Engineering Department’s team of engineers, architects and designers, it’s a perfect sample of the brand’s DNA, where a versatile layout – which can be completely personalized in terms of décor by the Owner – is paired with the most innovative on-board technology.

    The concept of on-board personalization is a good fit for the supple, distinctive lines that characterize the yachts of the Pershing fleet: aggressive profile, extensive use of glazing on the sides and – naturally – peerless performance.

    The Pershing 108 is a truly state-of-the-art maxi yacht, also in terms of its propulsion system, divided into three engine for the first time, with the aim of guaranteeing great performance and with environmental impact in mind. In the shipyard version, the Pershing 108 has three MTU 2638 mHp (1939 kW) 16V 2000 M 94 L diesel engines and, thanks to its three surface propellers, it may achieve a top speed of more than 42 knots.

    The Pershing 108 can manage high travel ranges, exceeding 1000 miles at 10 knots and with very limited consumption at these speeds. With only the central engine running, this yacht can be very quiet at low speeds.

    In the absence of high load conditions, it can plane even with just two engines and reach speeds worthy of note. Generally speaking, extremely high levels of comfort have been measured on board. Translated into DbA, this means a new benchmark for this yacht category.

    Highly significant performance meets the “family feeling” that over the years has made all the models in the Pershing fleet unique and recognisable.

    The Pershing 108, 32.90 m long, has 4 guest cabins and 3 dedicated to the crew, and offers customers the possibility of choosing from various interior layouts, with a view to providing even more versatile, customized spaces.
