LAUNCH OF THE RIVA 110’ DOLCEVITA A CONTEMPORARY LEGEND

Riva 110' Dolcevita launch 1.jpg

The new flagship took to the sea for the first time at the La Spezia shipyard, fending the waves with its unmistakeable profile. 

Reminiscent of the unforgettable Anita Ekberg bathing in the waters of Trevi Fountain, Riva 110’ Dolcevita, with its flybridge of unparalleled beauty, entered the sea and posterity all at the same time.

The first unit of the new Riva masterpiece was launched on Thursday 22 March in La Spezia, at the shipyard that manufactures its 76 and 110 foot models.

Riva 110’ Dolcevita is huge from every point of view. Its visual impact takes the breath away as does the incomparable combination of aesthetics and function, state-of-the-art technology and sea-faring experience.

Marked by an ultra-sporting profile and a design embellished by shaped glass windows and chrome inserts, it’s the flagship of the fibreglass fleet. Among the most striking features, there’s the large glass windows on the trim line with integrated portholes and, on deck, the single height glass window that runs the entire length of the living room with the glass framed by a stainless steel structure.

This new Riva model is once again the result of a collaboration between Officina Italiana Design, the design studio founded by Mauro Micheli with Sergio Beretta, the Strategic Product Committee chaired by Ing. Piero Ferrari and the Engineering Department of the Ferretti Group.

“For the largest Riva ship we have chosen the name of a time that is still endowed with sparkle and charm. The Dolce Vita as a truly Italian style indication, the happy combination where good construction and the good life come together. Cruising on this amazing 33 metre yacht is an aesthetic and emotional experience akin to the amazement felt by anyone watching the passing of the Rex, the famous cruise ship featured in the film Amarcord, another of Federico Fellini’s masterpieces –according to the Ferretti Group Chief Executive Officer, Avv. Alberto Galassi. This new seaworthy work of art is not just a gift to our brand’s fans, but to all dreamers who can thus rediscover the splendour and thrills of a new Dolce Vita”. 

Riva 110’ Dolcevita will make its official début during an exclusive event to take place in Montecarlo in May, the ideal place for the presentation of a yacht that is already legendary.

Custom Line Navetta 33

FERRETTI YACHTS 920 AND CUSTOM LINE NAVETTA 33, FRESH OFF IMPRESSIVE NORTH AMERICAN DEBUTS IN MIAMI, SET TO BE STARS OF THE SHOW 

Following successful runs at shows in Fort Lauderdale and Miami, Ferretti Group will showcase a luxurious fleet at the 2018 Palm Beach International Boat Show – the third largest boat show in the North America. Set for March 22nd thru the 25th, along the Intracoastal in downtown West Palm Beach, the show is becoming an important bellwether for the overall state of the marine industry, and a “can’t miss” for industry leaders such as Ferretti Group.

On display, Ferretti Group will exhibit 8 models, including Custom Line Navetta 33 and Ferretti Yachts 920, which recently debuted at the Miami Yacht Show in February. In addition to the new models, the fleet is completed by:

Ferretti Yachts 450 

Riva Aquariva Super, Riva Rivamare and the Riva 76’ Perseo 

Pershing 5X and Pershing 82 VHP. 

In 2017, the Palm Beach International Boat Show saw attendance grow 14%, a jump that didn’t go unnoticed by many in the industry. As such, this ever-growing market is continually showing substantial interest in Made-in-Italy production.

The growing importance of the Palm Beach International Boat Show provides one last opportunity for celebration in the United States, as Ferretti Yachts celebrated its 50th Anniversary for the first time in the U.S. at the 30th Annual Miami Yacht Show ahead of the primary Ferretti Yachts 50th Anniversary event June 21-24th in Venice, Italy.

The inimitable Ferretti Group stand, including a dedicated Custom Line lounge, where luxurious Italian outdoor design furniture will be supplied by UnoPiù, will welcome visitors into its spacious lounges, allowing enhanced guest experience and viewing of each of the Ferretti Group models.

Keeping in line with the most recent European and US nautical shows, Ferretti Group will continue its collaboration with prestigious international and Italian brands at the Palm Beach International Boat Show. Italian cellar La Scolca will offer a selection of the best wine-making traditions of the Piedmont region, with champagne by Pommery. Maserati will provide an elegant courtesy car to transport VIP guests throughout the show, luxury fashion house Dolce & Gabbana will be outfitting the Ferretti Group with uniforms, and the exclusive Marina Ibiza will be on hand to offer dedicated services for Ferretti Group owners. Seabob, known for entertainment and speed in the water, will exhibit its limited edition models, one for each of the Ferretti Group brands on-site.

CUSTOM LINE 106’: A MADE-TO-MEASURE MARVEL

Custom Line 106' exteriors 3.jpg

The new addition to the Custom Line planing range  was presented at the 2018 Miami Yacht Show.  It is the second model by Francesco Paszkowski Design  and it will make its debut in late 2018. 

Custom Line is broadening the horizons of perfect yachting with a new project that got an enthusiastic response from the public and members of the trade at the recent US boat show.

The Custom Line 106’ is a new addition to the planing range. It is a product of the partnership between the Francesco Paszkowski Design studio, the Ferretti Group’s Engineering Department and the Product Strategy Committee led by the engineer Piero Ferrari.

The design of the lines on the bottom and the hull helps it to replicate and build on the outstanding hydrodynamic performance of the latest models in the brand’s planing range.

“The Custom Line 106’ marks another step forward in the growth of the Ferretti Group brand dedicated to large fibreglass yachts. This exceptional vessel complements the Custom Line planing-hull selection, which comes together with the array of semi-displacing models to form a comprehensive range for owners who want sizeable spaces, cutting-edge technological solutions, style and comfort: in other words, Custom Line excellence,” stated Alberto Galassi, the Chief Executive Officer of the Ferretti Group.

“In the design of the new 106’, a number of the brand’s distinctive features have been emphasized and new stylistic traits have been introduced. As is plain to see in various places, efforts have been made to break down the boundaries between the exterior and the interior. The new technical solutions and all of the aspects of the exterior and interior lines are closely interlinked, as they are all parts of a single architectural arrangement with perfect balance between the forms and functions,” explained Francesco Paszkowski. 

EXTERIOR 

The new yacht has large floor surfaces (a total of 220 m./2,370 square feet) that are all interconnected. To the stern is a more advanced version of the patented DMT – Dual Mode Transom system. It features two hatches that cover the stairs when the vessel is in motion, thus giving the stern an unbeatably clean-cut appearance. When the ship stops, they disappear into the central part of the door so that guests can climb up. From the garage, a tender of up to 5.45 metres and a three-person jet ski can be lowered into the water.

The forward area is even bigger than on other recent models: on the raised central island there are sofas and upholstered seating with reclining backrests and on the bow area there is a large sun pad spanning a total of 36 m. (387 square feet). There is also an additional garage for a Williams 2.80 Jet or a three-person jet ski.

The forward area is directly connected to the 53 m. flybridge by a walkway. Protected by two large windows on the sides, it has a standard hard top with two skylights. In addition, Bimini tops or canopies can be fitted to provide shade in the external areas.

INTERIOR 

The interiors of the main deck are bathed in natural light thanks to the large, full-height windows. On request, the central window on the starboard side of the lounge can be fitted with an electric opening mechanism. The support columns used on the Custom Line 120’ can also be found here, with lighting, audio and air conditioning systems on them.

Further along the starboard side, there is a full-beam master cabin in the foredeck. It is 6.50 m (21’4”) wide and contains plenty of storage space for the owner, as well as two dressing rooms and a large bathroom with dual facilities and a central shower. On request, a panoramic terrace can be added.

The port-side bulwark of the main deck provides access to the galley, the crew quarters (consisting of a cabin for the captain with a bathroom and a separate shower, and two crew cabins with a separate bathroom), and the integrated raised bridge.

The layout on the lower deck contains four standard cabins: two VIP cabins amidships and two twin ones forward, all with separate bathrooms. The beds in the VIP cabins face the bulwark to make the most of the view from the large hull windows, while an optional additional Pullman bed can be fitted in each of the two twin cabins.

The style of the vessel continues in the same vein as the Custom Line 120’: it explores greater formal balance and there are distinctive, strong colour contrasts in the furnishings and coverings.

Like the other recent Custom Line models, the 106’ comes with innovative software that allows an iPad to be used to operate the entertainment system installed in the lounge on the main deck, meaning that the various remote controls can be replaced by a single device. This technological solution can be extended to all of the different parts of the maxi yacht and it can also be used in conjunction with the owner’s personal devices.

The Custom Line 106’ is fitted with twin MTU 16V engines rated at 2217 mhp, which can take it to a maximum speed of 23 knots (preliminary data). Alternatively, it is possible to ask for twin MTU 16V engines, which can generate 2638 mhp and reach a maximum speed of 26 knots (preliminary data). 

The standard version is equipped with electro-hydraulic stabilizing fins, offering both underway and zero-speed modes. On request, gyroscopic stabilizers can also be fitted for maximum comfort at anchor.

Bahri VLCC.JPG

Maintaining its positive run in 2018, Bahri, a global leader in transportation and logistics, accepted the delivery of ‘Qamran’, a Very Large Crude-oil Carrier (VLCC), to further strengthen its market-leading position in crude oil transportation and enhance its maritime offering.

The 300,000-DWT carrier is the third VLCC to join Bahri’s fleet this year, following the delivery of ‘Kassab’ in January and ‘Lawhah’ in February, bringing the total number of Bahri’s fleet to 91 vessels including 44 VLCCs. The new vessel has reinforced the company’s position as the largest VLCC owner and operator worldwide. Built by Hyundai Samho Heavy Industries (HSHI), the world’s largest shipbuilding company based in South Korea, the new VLCC features a length of 330 meters and a width of 60 meters.

Bahri took the delivery of ‘Qamran’ at a ceremony held at the HSHI’s Mokpo shipyard in South Jeolla Province, South Korea, on February 28, 2018. The carrier is part of the 10 VLCCs Bahri signed with the South Korean company in May 2015 in line with the Saudi conglomerate’s strategic long-term maritime growth and expansion plan.

“The addition of ‘Qamran’ to our already strong fleet is a new milestone in our growth journey and a true testament to the robustness of Bahri’s long-term expansion plans. In addition to providing a significant boost to our efforts to deliver unprecedented growth and productivity in 2018, the new vessel will further enhance our maritime offering and enable us to expand our customer base by catering to the increased demand for crude-oil transportation across local and international markets. Further, ‘Qamran’ has solidified our position as a leader in the global maritime sector,” said Abdullah Aldubaikhi, CEO of Bahri.

 

“Qamran has renewed our resolve to revolutionize the maritime industry through diversified and innovative solutions designed to meet various needs in the market. More importantly, it has further bolstered Bahri’s capability to continue our support to the Kingdom’s ambitious initiatives such as the Saudi Vision 2030, and contribute to the country’s efforts to reinforce its pre-eminent position as a strategic regional hub and logistics gateway across continents,” added Aldubaikhi.

SD18 first seatrials April 2016 - MR.jpg

Glider Yachts Limited, the British luxury yacht designer and manufacturer, is thrilled to announce its keenly awaited Sports Limousine 24 (SL24) at Monaco Yacht Show, which will deliver a new dimension to high speed luxury ocean travel, taking you safely, comfortably and at breathtaking speeds from yacht to shore and beyond, irrespective of the weather conditions.

Designed to meet and exceed the increasing demands of superyacht owners and guests, the fabulous level of flexibility the SL24 provides for a multitude of tasks provides privileged owners with options way beyond the capabilities of conventional tenders, chase-boats and limousine tenders, all in one beautiful package.

Robert McCall, Managing Director of Glider Yachts, said: “We’re really excited to announce our next Glider model to the world, the beautiful SL24, is one of the most exciting innovations in the boating world for many years and we are confident that our daringly different design and her revolutionary performance will be a game changer in the limousine and tender market.”

One of the most revolutionary high-performance craft available in the world today, Glider’s first model, the 18-metre SuperSports 18 (SS18), named ‘Spirit of M’, will be on display at Monaco Yacht Show for the first time for its European debut on Glider’s stand at the T31dock.

The stunning SS18 is on display at Monaco Yacht Show

The Glider superyacht range has been under development for nine years, with meticulous planning, design and world-class British engineering, using best practice and expertise from Formula One and the aerospace industry, including a proprietary Stability Control System (SCS). This will enable the ultimate comfort whilst at anchor, cruising or at speed without the bumpiness associated with traditional sports-boats and limousines, even in the roughest sea conditions.

Glider’s unique hull form, propulsion and Stability Control System (SCS) actually tune to the sea conditions allowing the SL24’s 12 passengers and two crew to “glide” over the waves in unprecedented comfort at up to 50 knots.

Powered by four engines, the incredible stability and power deliver unprecedented cruising opportunities for owners; bringing previously out of range destinations within an easy reach. The shallow draft allows access to out of reach bays, anchoring close to the shore and even beach landings.

The SS18 and SL24 are the first two in a series of luxury superyachts, ranging from 18 to 80 metres, to be hand-built by master craftsmen at Glider’s cutting-edge build facilities in Southampton.

Glider Yachts has partnered with the world’s elite in materials, design, software and engineering to global sales and has primarily selected British products and services to bring you its first two advanced high-speed luxury yachts. And every Glider will be as individual as its owner, with fully customisable interiors.

  • BlueFin Yachts, has perfected sublime high-gloss yacht finishes using diamond technology.
  • Garmin has created a fully integrated bespoke dashboard for the Gliders, underpinned by its state of the art navigation system.
  • Corbeau has provided the specially designed luxury sports seats, which are more akin to a racing car.
  • Aalco Metals supplied the highest Lloyd’s marine-grade Alcoa aluminium for the first two Gliders.
  • JL Audio’s premium sound system will gain the ultimate entertainment experience for a Glider’s passengers.

“We are absolutely thrilled to finally show-off the first Glider model to the world. The SS18 will be on show at Monaco and we’re super-proud of results. She is unlike any other yacht seen in the market to date, with unparalleled design and technological capabilities, we’re convinced she is going to be in high demand once people see and experience her performance for the first time.”

London headquartered Glider Yachts has a clear mission to become the world’s leading supplier of high-performance luxury yachts and to deliver a more cost-effective and ultimately more comfortable, efficient and sustainable way of navigating our oceans.

The launch of the SL24 will be followed by Glider’s stunning range of luxury superyachts, the GT and SX-E range will be available from 35 to 80 metres.

Glider’s European sales partner, Inwards Marine will manage the client engagement and sales at the Monaco Yacht Show. They will be responsible for the sales of all of Glider Yachts up to 35 metres, including the limousine range and the GT & SX-E 35 range.
