SHARE
New Ferretti Yachts and Pershing motoryachts are among world premieres at this year’s Venice Boat Show.
Ferretti Yachts 940
Ferretti Group is displaying seven yachts including two world premieres at the Venice Boat Show, which will be held in the heart of the Arsenale over four days from May 29-June 2. The Ferretti Yachts 940 and Pershing GTX70 are both marking their global debuts at the sixth edition of the Venice show, which has been strongly supported by Ferretti Group since its inception.
The Ferretti Yachts 940 is making her first public appearance after the hull’s launch in January from the Cattolica shipyard. Ferretti Yachts’ second-biggest Flybridge model, the 940 is another design collaboration between Filippo Salvetti for exterior styling, IdeaeItalia for interiors, Ferretti Group’s Strategic Product Committee chaired by Piero Ferrari, and its Engineering Department.
Featuring an overall length of 95ft 1in (28.97m) and a beam of 22ft 3in (6.78m), the Ferretti Yachts 940 has a top speed of 25 knots and a cruising speed of 21 knots with twin 2,000mhp MAN V12 engines. Like on the flagship 1000, the master suite is forward on the main deck, while the four lower-deck guest cabins include one with sliding beds.
Pershing GTX70
With Pershing celebrating its 40th anniversary this year, the first hull of the Pershing GTX70 was launched in the water in March and is the third model in the brand’s Sport Utility Yachts range, complementing the GTX116 and GTX80.
Featuring an overall length of almost 72ft and a near-18ft beam, the GTX70 is another collaboration between Vallicelli Design and the Ferretti Group’s Product Strategy Committee and Engineering Department. Ferretti Group’s seven-boat line-up in Venice also includes a Pershing 8X (84ft), wallywhy100 (70ft), Riva’s 68’ Diable and Dolceriva (48ft), plus an Itama 45RS.
Ferretti Group’s participation at the show includes collaborations with Dolce & Gabbana, Hotel Gritti Palace (home to a Riva Lounge), Lavazza, Range Rover, La Scolca, Aperol, Seabob, Frette, Lanerossi, Zimmer + Rohde, Atelier Rebul, Venini/Murano, Zanta, Bang & Olufsen, Flexjet and Torello.
