During this Cannes Yachting Festival 2024, and the weekend preceding it, in Monaco, Italy’s Ferretti Group has been showing a wide model range from its yacht brands – including several premieres, declared record sales, and even held a private concert with a pop-music megastar
Ferretti shows wallywhy100 for the first time, among its six world premieres unveiled at Cannes
This week at the Cannes Yachting Festival, the Ferretti Group – always one of the largest displays at the event – shows a fleet of 21 yachts across its Italian brands, which includes six world premieres. These first showings comprise: the Custom Line Navetta 38, Ferretti Yachts INFYNITO 80, Ferretti Yachts 670, Pershing GTX80, Riva El-Iseo, wallywhy100 and wallypower50.
The Custom Line Navetta 38 is a custom-built yacht with extendible beach club
With record sales in 2024 recently declared across brands, Ferretti Group CEO Alberto Galassi declared in Cannes that the group will focus more on meeting the growing demand for increasingly large yachts with more custom-made elements. He added, “With the new [Ferretti Group] acquisitions and [our] expansion of shipyards we can realise every dream.”

Galassi noted the Group’s proactive investment in expansion for the first six months of 2024 had amounted to €77 million, with a year-on-year 10 per cent increase in production numbers.

Net revenues for new yachts in the same period were €611 million, up 7.7 per cent.
The Group plans more than 25 new model launches across its brands from 2024 to 2026; and 2025 will see several of these appear.

Before Cannes Yachting Festival began, the annual Ferretti Group “Private Preview” was held on Saturday September 7, organised with the Yacht Club de Monaco, combining yachting, music, gourmet food and glamour.

The star of the show this year was UK-born pop megastar Robbie Williams, who performed a private concert entitled “Rock DJ” to entertain the VIP audience of guests who sang and danced along to hits performed on a stage suspended over the water, surrounded by the magnificent yachts owned by the many of those who came to enjoy the show.
The event was also attended by HRH Prince Albert of Monaco, champion Ferrari driver Charles Leclerc, fashion designer Domenico Dolce, actor Pierfrancesco Favino, and 600-plus owners from all over the world.
Dinner was prepared by a team helmed by Antonio Mellino, a chef who recently won his third Michelin star.
Ferretti Group presented 37 yachts at the “Private Preview”, which included the Cannes Yachting Festival premieres.
