Ferretti Group and the Yacht Club de Monaco brought to life a memorable event on September 2nd, illuminating the “magnificent blue” of the Monte Carlo night.
The “Blue Wonderful” event featured a private concert by Sir Elton John which took place in the extraordinary setting of the YCM Marina surrounded by 30 yachts, representing all brands of the Ferretti Group. Sir Elton John entertained international guests with his solo piano concert performing his most celebrated songs like “Candle in the wind”, “Rocket Man”, “Daniel”,”Bennie and the Jets”, “Crocodile Rock”, “Circle of Life”, “Your song” and some hits of his last album “Wonderful Crazy Night”amongst which the opening song “Blue Wonderful”.
After an hour and a half of playing the British star received rapturous applause from the 1,000-plus guests assembled on QuaiLouis II and from the terraces of the Yacht Club, a building designed and built by his compatriot, Sir Norman Foster.He left the stage for the sea aboard his Riva, to a resounding salute as all the yachts in the Yacht Club’s Marina sounded their horns, a fitting tribute for someone who is passionate about yachts.
“Blue Wonderful” marked the opening of “Private Preview” gathering, an annual opportunity for Ferretti Group boat owners in Monte-Carlo to visit and try out new boats in the fleet which this year included six world premières: Ferretti Yachts 850,Ferretti Yachts 450, Pershing 5X, Rivamare, 76’ Bahamas and Custom Line Navetta 37.
