Ferretti Group’s World Premieres at the Cannes Yachting Festival

By Frances Flannagan

Ferretti Group is attending the 45th Cannes Yachting Festival this year, held between 12th-17th September. Three impressive yachts are to be presented: PERSHING GTX116, Riva 82’ DIVA and WALLYWHY150. These three world premieres highlight the spectacular nature of Ferretti Group, as the Italian company continues to build a variety of incredible superyachts year after year.

PERSHING GTX116

PERSHING GTX116 is the first yacht in the new GTX line. She is built by Pershing, with the exterior and interior design by Fulvio De Dimoni design studio. She was launched in February of this year, and is making her anticipated premiere at Cannes. She combines elegance, volume, and the signature Pershing thrill. Comfort is key in PERSHING GTX116's design; there is ample open air space, with areas which are in direct contact with the water, making the most of the environment in which she will be sailing in. Outstanding liveability is also at the crux of the design, with a five-cabin layout, ensuring that multiple guests can enjoy the wonders that she has to offer all within the comfort of their own space. 

She confirms the brand’s sporty DNA with a streamlined profile, identifying as a Sport utility Yacht. She is designed beautifully, painted a sophisticated shade of grey with a special blue hue used for the deckhouse. The interiors are flooded with natural light due to generous glazed surfaces. 

She is over 35m in length and has 150 sqm of outdoor areas seamlessly connected to the water. 

RIVA 82’ DIVA

This new yacht pushes the boundaries of Riva’s popular flybridge range; defining new aesthetic and functional standards within the entire category. Outdoor liveability is at the heart of the design, with a new take being offered within the interiors. Both exterior and interior design are by Officina Italiana Design. She was launched on the 11th July this year; this recent launch making her Cannes debut an exciting premiere. 

The highlight of the project is the flybride, developed to accommodate three separate spaces: a central lounge, a sunbathing area forward, and a lounge area. The main deck is home to a beach club of unprecedented size for a 25m yacht.

Considered ahead of its time like wallywhy200, 24m wallywhy150 contains all the innovative features of its predecessor. She is a flexible yacht, with a skilful use of space and generous living areas contributing to her unmistakable personality. Built by Wally, her exterior design is by Wally-Ferretti Group Engineering and her interiors penned by Studio Vallicelli Design. Set to make her international debut at Cannes, her premiere has generated much excitement following her intial renderings being released in September 2022 and her recent presentation at the Venice Yacht Show in June. 

Her exteriors are unmatched for a yacht of her size. The upper deck is completely open, providing an enormous amount of space, and her owner and guests can enjoy a full dining setting on the sundeck, a sunbathing area, and a shaded lounge. Almost the full length of the boat is outside.

The master cabin, located forward on the main, showcases wallywhy150’s futuristic design; offering 270-degree panoramic views and a stunning ‘Amphitheatre of the sea’ design due to her high bow. 

You can see all of these vessels on display at the Cannes Yachting Festival this September; each yacht being incredibly unique, however the outstanding nature of Ferretti Group showcased in each design.
