FERRETTI GROUP CELEBRATES A DOUBLE WIN AT THE INTERNATIONAL SUPERYACHTSOCIETY DESIGN & LEADERSHIP AWARDS 2025
The judges awarded the prizes for Best in Motor under 300 GT to Custom Line Navetta 38 M/Y TELLI and for Best in Sail to wallywind110 GALMA, confirming Ferretti Group’s ex.
Ferretti Group received two prestigious new prizes at the International Superyacht Society (ISS) Design & Leadership Awards 2025, where it played a starring role at one of the most eagerly awaited and authoritative events in the world of luxury yachting.
The ceremony, which took place last October 29 at the Broward Center for the Performing Arts in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, celebrated the 35th anniversary of the International Superyacht Society, the world’s leading organisation with a mission to promote excellence and innovation in the superyacht industry. Established with the aim of uniting the international yachting industry and fostering sustainable growth through training, advocacy and the recognition of merit, the ISS brings together designers, builders, owners and crews from around the world to celebrate projects that set new standards of creativity and quality.
During the evening event, the panel of judges – 12 international yacht design and construction experts – awarded Ferretti Group two of the evening’s most important prizes:
Custom Line Navetta 38 M/Y TELLI: category “Best in Motor under 300 GT” (8.00-38.76 m);
wallywind110 GALMA: category “Best in Sail” (7.60-33.42 m).
The presentation of the Best in Motor under 300 GT award to Custom Line Navetta 38 M/Y TELLI confirms
Ferretti Group’s outstanding ability to combine refined design, advanced naval engineering and comfort on
board. The yacht, with interiors designed by ACPV ARCHITECTS Antonio Citterio Patricia Viel and exteriors
by Filippo Salvetti, stands out for the seamless flow between her interior and exterior spaces, for the balance
between guest and crew areas, and for a laser-sharp focus on efficiency and sustainability. The panel of
judges praised the yacht’s harmonious proportions and a design approach that skilfully blends aesthetics
and functionality.
In the Best in Sail category, GALMA – the first model in the new wallywind110 series – won the jury over with
her elegant balance between cutting-edge performance and sleek, minimalist design, two of the brand’s
signature features. The naval architecture is by judel/vrolijk & co and the interior and exterior design by Santa
Maria Magnolfi. Crafted from advanced carbon composite, she delivers exceptional speed and handling while
offering a luxurious, open-plan interior that maximizes light and connection to the sea. Judges praised the
yacht as representing “everything Wally stands for in terms of style and innovation”—the embodiment of pure
sailing pleasure.
These two awards highlight Ferretti Group’s integrated and innovative vision, combining the values of
technological research, refined design and craftsmanship that have always made its brands – from Custom
Line to Wally – stand out on the global luxury yachting scene.
With these new wins, Ferretti Group consolidates its role as a global benchmark and underscores its ability
to anticipate trends in contemporary yacht design, transforming every project into a masterpiece of style,
comfort and innovation.
