THE FIRST FERRETTI YACHTS 550 LAUNCH

THE FIRST FERRETTI YACHTS 550 LAUNCH

Ferretti Group announced the launch of the first Ferretti Yachts 550, the new model of the Group’s well-known brand, marking its return to the flybridge yachts production under 60 feet in length.

When the first 55 feet hull was set afloat at the Cesenatico quay, powerful feelings of pride stirred up in all Ferretti Group’s personnel of the shipyard in Forlì, where the yacht was built. Interior and exterior fit-out, as well as all technical testing – i.e. certification test approval by RINA performance tests, checking of all on-board equipment and systems – will be completed within the next few weeks.

“We are enthusiast to see the first Ferretti Yachts 550 put into the water”, stated Stefano de Vivo, Ferretti Group’s Chief Commercial Officer. “This new model is the result of accurate design and engineering work aimed at building a yacht which fully embodies our brand in terms of design, performance, safety, functionality, and reliability.
Our priority was to put on the market a top-quality, highly competitive yacht, in order to win over current and prospective owners of Ferretti Yachts, not only in our established markets, but also in the Asian Pacific area, where the brand is a synonymous with Italian boat-building excellence.”

Although just set afloat, the new 55-footer by Ferretti Yachts already enjoys a great commercial success: three units have already been sold way ahead of its official world première at Cannes Yachting Festival 2015, slated in Côte d’Azur from next September 8th through 13th.

This is yet another proof that Ferretti Yachts 550 has already captured the international yachting market.

While the first yacht is just about to be delivered to her French Owner, the second Ferretti Yachts 550 has been sold in the Principality of Monaco. A third unit was bought by a Dutch Owner.
