Passion
Innovation
Passion and commitment are what propelled the Ferretti
brothers, Alessandro and Norberto, to create their first
motorsailer in 1971. It is this same dedication that continues to
guide Ferretti Group in its position as one of the most prestigious
motor-yacht producers in the world. Passion is what drives the
Group to develop unparalleled research and development,
nautical performance, and cutting-edge design; it is instilled
in everything the Ferretti Group undertakes, and as such,
passion stands as a key component of Ferretti’s success and
unrivaled reputation.
Visionaries ahead of their time, the Ferretti brothers were devoted
to producing not only the best, but also the most advanced
motoryachts in the world. As such, many of their innovative
masterpieces are still commonplace in the nautical world today,
including the stern helm position, the use of swinging windows
in the salon which open out onto the cockpit, and the internal
passage from the salon to the flying bridge. Trailblazers in
every regard, Ferretti Group, has been an industry leader
in quality and innovative technology, a characteristic which

various staples throughout the nautical industry, including the
utilization of integrated monitoring systems Gi8 and Naviop,
which enable the user to control yacht operations on a single
screen, as well as the ARG- Anti Rolling Gyro- Stabilization
system, a gyroscopic device developed in conjunction with
Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, installed exclusively on Ferretti
Group yachts, which help to reduce rolling by over 50 percent.
Since its inception, Ferretti forever changed the world of
motoryachts, and based on the Group’s continued dedication
to innovative methodologies, there is no doubt that Ferretti

Excellence
Since the very beginning, the philosophy of Ferretti Group has
always been to develop in the direction of excellence. Each
boat has its own precise identity and fingerprint, representing
the client’s personality and desires. While the technology
may improve a yacht’s performance, all of the brands in the
Ferretti Group portfolio are also synonymous with exceptional
craftsmanship and style. At Ferretti, designing a yacht goes
well beyond the concept of design, towards the pursuit of
maintaining a perfect balance, complementing the radiance
with the quality of materials, aesthetic values and practicality.
Priding itself in the design features of each of its yachts, the
Ferretti Group can count on a team of architects and designers
who skillfully combine quality, attention to detail, safety and
performance, in each of their designs. Only in this way can
the craft’s owner enjoy the reliability and utmost perfection of
a Ferretti Group brand.
Ferretti, with its heralded tradition and pursuit of excellence,
produces motoryachts worthy of core enthusiasts who not only
love being on the water, but are also experts on fine details.
These owners admire the yachts for their grace and beauty, but
also appreciate the institutional knowledge that makes them
technically advanced. While the Ferretti Group continues to
evolve, its long-term goal and uncompromising mission remains
the same, the emanation of perfection in every yacht. As such,
it is this drive towards excellence and the highest standards
attainable that will continue to make Ferretti a leader and icon
in the world of yachting.

MANUFACTURING EXCELLENCE
Ferretti Group’s boats are distinguished by their quality, safety,
excellent performance at sea, exclusive design and distinctive
charm that make them immediately recognizable. This is
possible due to the manufacturing organization of Ferretti
Group, that responds to the highest criteria of naval shipyards,
resulting in efficient industrial manufacturing together with
unparalleled quality in detail guaranteed by meticulous
craftsmanship during all production phases.
Cattolica, italy
Opened in 2001, the production plant in Cattolica has
a total surface area of more than 150,000 square feet
with over 29,000 feet of covered area and 16 assembly
positions dedicated to the production of Ferretti Yachts,
Mochi Craft, and Ferretti Custom Line. This manufacturing
plant meets the most modern efficiency criteria and provides
for simultaneous building of 16 motor yachts measuring
from 20 to 30 meters. The production line layout is based
on an “island” construction system in which each position
is completely independent. Once a boat is completed it can
exit the plant through a front exit, without interfering with
work carried out in other positions. Furthermore, being so
close to the sea allows fast and easy test trials. Materials are
received and checked thoroughly by the acceptance division.
Forli, Italy
merritt island, United states
Ancona, Italy
Merritt Island has become the new home of Bertram Yacht
since late 2012. The new state of the art production facility
encompasses 37 acres, with the opportunity for future
expansion, featuring various industrial facilities including a
campus for painting, welding, closed molding, prototype
fabrication, fiberglass modeling, office buildings and a marina
test facility, just to name some of the key components. This
facility is also Ferretti Group’s main testing point for Bertram
Yachts and is a direct point of delivery for owners purchasing
a Bertram yacht. The property is also conveniently located
45 miles from the Orlando airport and within minutes of the
open ocean, making the location ideal for product testing,
distribution and deliveries throughout Florida and the Eastern
Seaboard. The new facility uses environmentally sound

process that incorporates infusion techniques to manufacture
fiberglass parts. The Merritt Island production facility currently
produces Bertram hulls from 54ft. to 80ft.
Ancona is developed in an area over 872,000 square feet, of
which 377,000 square feet is covered, and can accommodate
construction of ships up to 90 meters. It is a “multibrand”
area dedicated to the construction of the entire CRN fleet and
some of the Ferretti Custom Line range and represents one
of the largest production facilities in Europe with a private
marina. It has undergone an ambitious renovation project
of all offices and other facilities. The CRN shipyard has
three new technologically advanced facilities, measuring 90
meters in length, 28 in width and 25 meters high, equipped
with all extract ventilation systems, compressed area, power
stations and two overhead cranes to handle materials to go
on-board. The covered area has 6 facilities dedicated to steel
and aluminum boats and two facilities for the construction of
composite maxi and mega yachts.
Forli is the headquarter location for Ferretti Group in Italy and
the plant location for the smaller range of Ferretti Yachts, Mochi
and Itama brands. The location is also the center where robotic
axis milling machines produce plugs for new hulls and decks as
well as the production of fiberglass hull molds. The Group also
has an extensive product and material testing where fiberglass,
metals and indoor and outdoor materials can be tested under
various pressure and stress treatments, humidity, and hot and
cold environments.
sao Paulo, Brazil
Sarnico, italy
Mondolfo, italy
La Spezia, italy
Established in 2010, Ferrettigroup Brasil is the major reference
point for marketing and after-sales assistance for all the Group’s
yachts in the Brazilian market. The new production facilities
in Sao Paulo were officially opened in July 2011, following
an agreement with long standing dealer Marcio Latorre
Christiansen with the aim to further enhance the company’s
expansion into Brazil. This new plant is now producing a
range of yachts from 50 to 83 feet and reaching the capacity
of over 120 boats a year, exclusively sold to Brazilian clients.
The Riva shipyard in Sarnico, built in 1842 on the lake
Iseo in the heart of the Franciacorta area, saw the creation
of the entire Riva history through its legendary models. The
plant continues to create hulls from 27 to 63 feet: Aquariva
Super, Rivarama, Rivale, Sportriva 56’, 63’ Vertigo, and 63”
Virtus. The facilities cover an area measuring over 385,000
square feet with over 180,000 square feet of covered space.
The daring and futuristic design of this shipyard is protected
by the Italian Cultural and Environmental Assets Office
and today still represents an example of modern and
contemporary architecture.
The Mondolfo plant, a futuristic space measuring more than
590,000 square feet, has a covered space of 182,000 square
feet and is much more than a simple production plant. It is
a striking scenario of beauty and functionality, technology
and dream, and meticulously designed to meet the continuing
production development and expansion of the Ferretti
Group range, in terms of number and boat size. Known
as the manufacturing facility for Pershing, this striking
production center couples beauty and technology as a space
designed to meet daily production needs as well as product
range enlargement.
The production plant in La Spezia has a strategic industrial,
social and environmental role and was opened in 2004.
Designed with the most advanced construction techniques,
the shipyard encompasses an area measuring over 645,000
square feet with more than 129,000 square feet of covered
area. This shipyard includes industrial facilities, office buildings,
piers and jetties covering 400 meters with a 400 ton travel lift.
This modern facility is also Ferretti Group’s main testing point
and showroom as many of the Group’s yachts are delivered to
their owners here. The Group’s after-sales department catering
to all the clientele is also based in this location.
Hybrid propulsion system
Ferretti’s research and development activities have also led to the development of a
highly innovative hybrid propulsion system, in which, for the first time ever, a yacht
measuring over 20 meters in length can cruise in “Zero Emission Mode”.
Fer.Wey hull (Ferretti Wave Efficient Yacht)
Ferretti Group has also developed the innovative Fer.Wey (Ferretti Wave Efficient Yacht) hull,
described as ‘transplanting’, which enables owners to cruise comfortably, and guarantees
significant energy efficiency in the intermediate speed range, greatly reducing the rolling
effect and guaranteeing low aft wave turbulence.
The Fer.Wey hull allows owners excellent longitudinal stability, enabling them to move
around and live on the yacht without experiencing any marked change in attitude as speed
varies, as well as guaranteeing maximum cruising efficiency up to 16 knots and a significant
reduction in rolling.
Product Development Center
The core of the Ferretti Group strategy is continuous innovation
and research and a constant improvement in the performance
of its products.
The Group’s extensive range of yacht models– including
flybridges, runabouts, open yachts, coupé yachts, lobster boats,
fisherman yachts, maxi and mega-yachts – is conceived by the
Group’s Product Strategy Committee and Marketing Department,
in cooperation with Ferrettigroup Engineering (the company’s
team of engineers and architects, including some of the best
in the naval design sector worldwide) and AYTD - Advanced
Yacht Technology & Design (the Group’s naval research center),
all constantly committed to searching for aesthetic, functional
and innovative solutions, working in close cooperation with
internationally renowned architects.
These teams of highly competent and specialized experts
support research in other complementary areas (monitoring,
entertainment, mooring and stabilizing systems) to guarantees
the Group a competitive advantage, through the exclusive use
of the technologies developed when they are introduced into
the market.
The ability to work in team and to stimulate the cooperation
within and outside the company and of becoming a focal
point in the process are distinctive characteristics of the
Product Development Management department, that plays a
fundamental role in the growth of Ferretti Group.
Anti Rolling Gyro (ARG)
Of all the innovations developed, the Anti Rolling Gyro (ARG) is of particular importance.
Using the movement of a rotor, with particular systems, this compact gyroscopic device
allows for a reduction of over 50 percent in the rolling motion of the yachts, to the advantage
of on-board comfort. ARG is an innovative system of stabilizers developed by AYT together
with Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, and fitted as a worldwide exclusive on all Ferretti Group
brand yachts.
FAIR (Ferretti Analysis Integral Recorder)
The Group has also launched a new, important technological innovation: FAIR (Ferretti
Analysis Integral Recorder), the very first integrated system to monitor the performance of
group yachts during testing, enabling not only simultaneous acquisition of operating data,
but also their analysis and processing.
The system, exclusive to Ferretti Group models, is yet another significant achievement in
terms of research and innovation, guaranteeing clients a product which has been tested both
thoroughly and objectively.
FAIR, as in “right”, “true”, enables testers to understand, both quickly and clearly, if a yacht
conforms to strict tolerance parameters and whether it has operating faults or deviations
compared to the standards of both the model and the project curves, without affecting test
times and procedures. This system enables Ferretti to correctly determine the conformity of its
yachts to the specifications set by the AYT department.
Developed by Ferretti Group with the support of the Department of Information Engineering,
Electronics, Information Technology, Telecommunications of Pisa University, FAIR guarantees
achievement of all necessary standards of quality for the market to all Ferretti clients.
The system is available in several models, and supplied as standard to all Ferretti Group
shipyard testing departments.

London, England; Dusseldorf, Germany; Ft. Lauderdale,
Florida; Miami, Florida; Palm Beach, Florida; Shanghai
China; among many other regional shows providing
one-on-one consultation with each client.
The owners have been able to enjoy the entire season without any major inconveniences. The majority of this I believe, is because
your customer service staff gave me what I felt was priority all of the time from customer service always answering my calls and
following up diligently, to the service technicians who dropped everything to fly to the Cape to help solve multiple issues this past
week. This is priceless in the industry and candidly comforting. - Captain, Ferretti Custom Line Navetta 26 Crescendo #18
The Ferretti Group Service University
Guaranteeing clients a quality service has always been a top
priority for Ferretti, distinguishing it from others in the sector.
We are convinced that dealers and service points play a
fundamental role to ensure owners fully-enjoy all the pleasures
of ocean life on-board their motoryachts. The Ferretti Group
Service University was established on this certainty, and
provides continuous and professional training courses targeting
all professionals working in After Sales.
Classroom sessions include both theoretical than practical
activities, with the help of demos and visits both in shipyards
and on board Group yachts. The aim is to give participants the
opportunity to assist in the various stages of production and
maintenance process of the different systems on board, in
order to handle hardware and troubleshoot issues.
With an increase in the number of participants over the
years, the Service University is currently a fundamental point
of reference, and required for the authorized Dealer and
Service Network all over the world.
