The Ferretti Group celebrated the 10th edition of its Private Preview at the Yacht Club de Monaco combining luxury yachting, haute cuisine, and live music in an unforgettable showcase.

This year’s exclusive event unveiled eight world premières from the Group’s prestigious brands – Ferretti Yachts, Itama, Riva, and Pershing – alongside a fleet of more than 30 yachts. Private viewings and sea trials gave guests a first glimpse at some of the most anticipated models of the season.

The highlight of Saturday night came with a live concert by Simply Red, led by Mick Hucknall, whose performance set the stage for the band’s upcoming 40th anniversary world tour. Performing timeless hits like Stars and Holding Back the Years on a stage suspended above the water, the band lit up the evening in front of a breathtaking backdrop of Ferretti Group yachts.

Guests were also treated to a three-Michelin-star dining experience, curated by chef Antonio Mellino of Quattro Passi a Nerano, who presented a refined culinary journey inspired by the Amalfi Coast.

Ferretti Group CEO Alberto Galassi praised the event’s energy:

“This tenth Private Preview proves once again that talent and passion are at the heart of every successful project, from music to yacht design. With eight premières and some of the world’s finest boats, we could not have wished for a better way to open the boat show season.”

The 2025 world premières included the Ferretti Yachts 800, Itama 54, Aquariva Special, Riva Cento, Riva 58’ Capri, Riva 112’ Dolcevita Super, Ferretti Yachts 940, and Pershing GTX70 – a milestone model marking Pershing’s 40th anniversary.
