The Cannes Yachting Festival (September 9–14) will once again set the stage for the world’s most glamorous debuts at sea—and this year, all eyes are on Ferretti Group, which is bringing an unprecedented eight new yachts to the French Riviera. The Italian powerhouse, which announced an ambitious plan to roll out 25 new models between 2024 and 2026, is making good on its promise. Backed by a portfolio of seven distinct brands—including the iconic Riva, high-performance Pershing, and cutting-edge Wally—Ferretti is commanding attention with its broadest and most diversified showcase to date. The Headliners include:
Riva 112 Dolcevita Super & Ferretti Yachts 800
The crown jewel of the lineup, Riva’s sleek new superyacht reimagines space at sea. Its vast 635-sq-ft rear cockpit transforms into a waterside playground, while the 660-sq-ft flybridge doubles as a dance floor, cocktail lounge, or sunset terrace. With flexible interior layouts and a full-beam owner’s suite, this model blends Riva’s timeless elegance with contemporary functionality.
A milestone in Ferretti’s “flybridge range renewal,” this 80-footer channels the feel of a much larger vessel. Designed by Filippo Salvetti and IdeaeItalia, it offers expansive social spaces, a residential-style salon, and performance that tops out at 31 knots with optional MAN engines.
Pershing GTX70 & Itama 54
Performance meets family cruising in Pershing’s entry-level GTX. Sporting a dynamic profile and three powerful Volvo Penta engines, it reaches 35 knots. Smart design delivers up to 30% more social space than its rivals, with an oversized beach club and spacious sport bridge.
Reviving the spirit of Italian open-yachting, the Itama 54 introduces a novel dual-cockpit layout, allowing two groups to lounge separately. Sleek styling by Tommaso De Luca and bold helm design underline its contemporary edge, while interiors remain effortlessly elegant.
Ferretti Yachts 940 & Riva Aquariva Special
Officially launched in Venice this July, the 940 makes its wider debut at Cannes. Marking the brand’s first wide-body design, it offers a five-stateroom layout with expansive windows, light-toned furnishings, and a choice of engines capable of 27 knots.
A modern reworking of a classic, the Aquariva Special pays homage to its lineage with aerodynamic upgrades, a larger stern platform, and striking new colors. With a top speed of 41.5 knots, it carries forward Riva’s reputation for timeless glamour.
Riva 58 Capri & Riva Cento
Inspired by the 56’ Rivale and 68 Diable, the Capri balances sportiness with functionality. A fixed hardtop and flexible cockpit bimini ensure open-air luxury, while its garage accommodates tenders and toys. Inside, three cabins make it as versatile as it is sleek.
More than a celebratory edition, the 38-foot Cento evolves the bestselling Rivamare platform with a redesigned skylight, expanded sunbathing areas, and an electro-hydraulic stern hatch that transforms into a beach club. It achieves a brisk 40 knots, marrying speed with sophistication.
As the Mediterranean season reaches its peak, Cannes 2025 promises not just a showcase of yachts—but a celebration of artistry, performance, and the future of life at sea.
