THE NEW RIVA EL-ISEO

RIVA EL-ISEO: THE 1ST MODEL IN RIVA'S E-LUXURY SEGMENT

Full electric sustainability and unmistakable style.

New Riva El Iseo b
Sarnico, April 10, 2024
 
Every new Riva model looks to the future but draws at the same time on an inimitable heritage of elegance, style and know-how that’s been handed down for over 180 years. This formidable mix of innovation and heritage is perfectly captured by Riva El-Iseo, the brand’s first full-electric powerboat that launches the new E-Luxury segment under the banner of sustainability.

Like all Riva creations, the new Riva El-Iseo was penned by Mauro Micheli and Sergio Beretta, founders of Officina Italiana Design, working in partnership with the Strategic Product Committee led by Piero Ferrari and the Ferretti Group Engineering Department.

“Riva’s great strength, right from the outset, has been its ability to rise to and win the design challenges faced over the years, by combining its craftsmanship and know-how with new technologies. Riva El-Iseo isn’t only the world’s most beautiful full-electric powerboat, but also proof that investing in research and development opens up new paths to sustainability and environmental awareness,” explained Ferretti Group CEO Alberto Galassi. “Riva El-Iseo is also the first model in its segment to obtain Rina Category B certification, a further endorsement that Riva is at the forefront of yachting safety too.”

Riva El-Iseo is a 27-foot (8.40 m) runabout with a maximum beam of 2.5 m and elegant and sophisticated lines, just like the much-loved and versatile Iseo from which it inherited the hull design. On board, Riva’s two souls are clear to see: the stylistic details typical of boats that have made the brand famous all over the world, such as the polished mahogany of the deck and stern platform, the stainless steel detailing of the lateral grills and the refined sky fabric cushions, go hand in hand with the modern and linear design of the bridge, creating a contrast between traditional and contemporary that sums up the very concept of the boat. The deck, cockpit and helm station feature a completely new design, while the colour of the first hull is a novel one for Riva, a California Sky Blue that marries perfectly with the elegant aquamarine beauty line featured on all boats in the Riva range.

Riva El-Iseo is the first full electric powerboat to obtain RINA B Category certification (boats designed for wind force up to and including 8 and significant wave height of 4 metres and above), which is rarely granted to open type boats on account of both their size and configuration.

PROPULSION
Riva El-Iseo retains the traditional stern-drive propulsion system and has a Parker GVM310 full-electric engine from Parker Hannifin, the world-leading motion and control technology multinational based in the US, offering unprecedented performance in terms of speed and acceleration. With a power output of 250 kW, peaking at 300 kW, the Parker GVM310 delivers a cruising speed of 25 knots and a self-limited top speed of 40 knots, with an acceleration curve significantly steeper than that of a similarly sized boat powered by an internal combustion engine.
For maximum stabilization underway, El-Iseo has autotrim control for the stern-drive engine and a Zipwake interceptor for trim correction.

BATTERIES
El-Iseo is fitted with a high-energy-density lithium battery pack supplied by Podium Advanced Technologies, a leading innovative engineering company specialised in batteries, automotive design and motorsport. More efficient, extremely light and up to 10 times longer-lasting than lead-acid technology, Riva El-Iseo’s 150 kWh, 800 V batteries have two charging modes, normal and fast, for charging from 20% to 80% in 75 minutes. The charging ports are located under the steel grille on the port side. The battery pack has a “Redundant Design Configuration”, with two independent blocks to ensure that the failure of one of the two blocks doesn’t put the operation of the entire pack at risk.

During development, there was a razor-sharp focus on on-board safety and the numerous measures identified during the Risk Assessment also contributed to El-Iseo’s RINA Category B certification. First and foremost, the batteries are sealed and liquid-cooled, the most efficient system for rapid heat transfer. They are also located at the forward end of the engine room under the bimini-top compartment between the dinette and the stern sunpad, ensuring easy access and inspection. Finally, the batteries have extra thermal insulation in the form of technologically advanced cladding inside the GRP panel that provides access to the compartment. This material with excellent fire resistance performance compared to its extremely light weight (only 5 kg) is commonly used in the aerospace industry and consists of fibreglass panels that create an effective thermal shield against flames. A gas sensor is also installed to detect leaks.

DASHBOARD AND CRUISING MODES
The fully digital dashboard has two touch screen displays from which all cruising and on-board system information can be controlled: a 9 or 12-inch Simrad chartplotter and a Böning 12-inch screen that indicate all battery state and cruising mode information. The design of the steering system and its integration with the on-board systems are the work of Xenta.
Riva El-Iseo has three cruising modes with names that pay tribute to tradition and take their inspiration from classical music: Adagio, Andante and Allegro.

Adagio is the ECO mode, designed to optimise cruising performance: maximum speed is 5 knots and acceleration is limited, reducing fuel consumption and maximising range to up to 10 hours of cruising. In Andante mode, cruising speed and acceleration are comparable to a typical yacht of similar length with an internal combustion engine, reaching a maximum planing speed of 25 knots. Allegro is the sport mode, in which the engine is unlimited and El-Iseo can reach a top speed of 40 knots with electrifying acceleration.

To maintain battery life, when the residual charge drops to 20% (a range of about 10 nautical miles), the boat automatically switches to Adagio regardless of the cruising mode selected, allowing the owner to conserve power and safely reach a mooring point or charging station.

Riva El-Iseo is the perfect fit for Ferretti Group’s sustainability path and launches the E-Luxury segment, which isn’t defined only by the type of propulsion, but also by the materials used and the production processes, as well as involving the Group’s suppliers. The new El-Iseo reflects the essence of Riva to perfection, combining the classic stylistic and aesthetic hallmarks of a brand that has made yachting history and constantly striving for innovation by introducing state-of-the-art technology.

Riva El-Iseo unveiled the first prototype in late 2022 at the Monaco Yacht Club, which was followed by complex tests in various conditions and environments, including participation in the Monaco Energy Boat Challenge with the YCM E-Dock and the YCM E-Boat Rally, the nautical endurance event reserved for electric models.

PERSHING GTX80 - FIRST UNIT LAUNCHED

DESIGN, ELEGANCE AND SPORTINESS MEET INNOVATION
in a masterpiece of balance and architechtural harmony

 First Pershing GTX80 unit launched b1  First Pershing GTX80 unit launched b2  First Pershing GTX80 unit launched b3

Mondolfo, April 9, 2024

The first Pershing GTX80, the ultimate expression of exhilaration, total control and unchallenged dominance, was launched on April 3 in the port of Fano. The yacht has the sporty spirit and generous living spaces typical of the Pershing GTX range.

The new Pershing GTX80, about 24 metres long and 5.80 metres in the beam, is the phenomenal result of collaboration between the Ferretti Group Product Strategy Committee led by Piero Ferrari, design studio Vallicelli Design and the Group’s Engineering Department.

The interiors and exteriors on board this model communicate seamlessly with each other, creating a unique space and a new dimension of comfort. The yacht has two decks, plus a sportbridge, and can comfortably accommodate up to eight guests thanks to the new four-cabin layout. There is also a cabin with two beds for the crew.

The exterior styling, in classic Pershing grey, features a number of innovative choices: designed without stanchions, it points up the near vertical bow and the continuous, slightly convex sheer-line. In the bow section, the bulwarks have been lightened by a longitudinal slot, while those in the stern have a dual function, both incorporating the winches and converting into lateral terraces that swing down. This is the first time a solution like this has been adopted on a Pershing model and the aim is to establish even closer contact with the water.

One of the outdoor spaces that stands out most is the stern platform, which has three different positions, making it a versatile and extremely important feature of the boat. It can be left in the default position, raised using the dual linear lift so that it’s flush with the beach area, extending and integrating the aft living space in conjunction with the lateral terraces when open, and also used for launching tenders.

The bright, airy spaces and extensive glazing on the main deck are a signature feature of this model. Immediately aft of the helm station – fitted with three 24-inch screens – is a living area containing a generous corner sofa, a dining area – on this first unit in a formal version with free standing furniture – and a fully integrated galley/bar in spaces directly overlooking the cockpit. This innovative design solution again underscores the focus on creating fluid, intercommunicating spaces. The black elements in the kitchen area create a slight contrast with the pale parquet and are colour-coordinated with the metallic silver lacquered ceiling, which features multiple intersecting diagonal LED lights that diffuse light across the entire deck – from exterior to interior – in a pared-down design that focuses on multiple angles.

The sundeck is very spacious – at 23 square metres, it’s 60% larger than the category average – while at the same time guaranteeing internal space of gran turismo proportions. This effect is partly due to the sleekly dynamic arch-shaped deckhouse. The hard-top available for the sundeck – this first unit has one – is made of carbon fibre to deliver the utmost in performance and aesthetic appearance.
Equipped with three 1,000 mhp VOLVO PENTA D13 IPS1350 engines, Pershing GTX80 reaches a top speed of 34 knots (preliminary data) and a cruising speed of 28 knots.

EXCLUSIVE DESIGN BY NUVOLARI LENARD IS THE STANDOUT FEATURE

combining bespoke craftsmanship and innovation with a diesel-electric propulsion system

CRN signs a new contract for a fully bespoke 67m b
Ancona, April 4, 2024
 
Ferretti Group bespoke brand CRN announces the contract signing for a new steel and aluminium vessel with a length overall of 67 metres.

Assigned hull number 146, the yacht’s design, naval architecture, engineering and construction are all fully customised.

CRN M/Y PROJECT 146 blends the shipyard’s design and build quality with the expertise and creativity of Italian architects Nuvolari Lenard, who developed the concept for the exterior styling and interiors. Sleek, streamlined exterior lines imbue this megayacht with an elegant aesthetic, reflecting the owner’s vision and requirements.

Standout features include spacious outdoor entertainment spaces, a dive center and an extensive beach club with plenty of water toys for guests. The upper deck will host a touch-and-go helipad.

CRN M/Y PROJECT 146 has a state-of-the-art hybrid propulsion system for greater energy efficiency and significantly reduced fuel consumption. The shipyard continues to work towards conscious and sustainable yacht design, entailing first and foremost the development of energy recovery solutions and proper sizing of the ship’s equipment. The yacht is fitted with a heat recovery system that uses the thermal energy from the generators to heat the water in the pools, the water boilers and the deck washing system, helping reduce fuel consumption.

A perfect combination of innovation and the finest craftsmanship, this is the 10th creation in CRN’s partnership with Nuvolari Lenard, the design studio that has worked on iconic, history-making superyachts since 2001, designing and styling both interior and exterior spaces. Nuvolari Lenard has designed superyachts of the calibre of M/Y Magnifica (43m, 2001), M/Y Kooilust Mare (46m, 2003), M/Y Saramour (46m, 2005), M/Y Azteca (72m, 2009) and M/Y Atlante (55m, 2015), as well as even larger yachts in the 2020s with M/Y Voice (62m, 2020), M/Y Comfortably Numb (60m, 2022) and M/Y Njoy (72m, 2023), plus CRN M/Y 143 Project Maranello (67m), currently under construction.

Another three full-custom CRN superyachts are currently being built at the Ferretti Group Superyacht Yard, the multi-brand hub in Ancona: 67m CRN M/Y 143 Project Maranello, 85m CRN M/Y 144 and 70m CRN M/Y 145 Project Thunderball.

Also taking shape there are 50m Custom Line 50 #01 and 50m Custom Line 50 #02, both all-aluminium, 43m Pershing 140 #04 and 43m Pershing 140 #05, also all-aluminium, plus Riva Superyacht Division 54Metri #01 and Riva Superyacht Division 54Metri #02, with aluminium hull and superstructure. The Ferretti Group Superyacht Yard is also where the Custom Line composite range from 30 to 45 meters is built, with 26 yachts now under construction in the sheds or at the finishing and testing stages on the docks before delivery to their owners and project management teams.

EPITOME OF TIMELESS, MADE TO MEASURE ELEGANCE

THE 16TH UNIT IN THE BRAND'S DISPLACEMENT LINE HAS ENTERED THE WATER AT THE FERRETTI GROUP SUPERYACHT YARD IN ANCONA

Custom Line Navetta 30 the topselling epitome Image 1

Ancona, March 21, 2024

 
A new Custom Line Navetta 30, the sixteenth in the line, entered the water on February 15 at the Ferretti Group Superyacht Yard in Ancona. The superyacht, whose owner is based in the EMEA region, has been christened M/Y GINDUNGO, a name that conjures up the energy and vibrancy of the Angolan chilli pepper of the same name, a symbol of excellence and good fortune.

Comfort, safety, customisation and seaworthiness are the stand-out features of this masterpiece of naval art, 28.43 m long and with a beam of 7.3 m, created out of collaboration between the Product Strategy Department – for the exterior styling – the Ferretti Group Engineering Department and top design firms ACPV ARCHITECTS Antonio Citterio Patricia Viel for the interior architecture, with strategic interior design consulting provided by the Custom Line atelier, and Filippo Salvetti for the exteriors.

Custom Line Navetta 30 M/Y GINDUNGO stands out for her timeless aesthetics, ambitious volumes and forward-thinking but elegant and sophisticated styling. The exteriors feature an extended sweep of horizontal lines towards the bow, giving the yacht a sleek and dynamic silhouette while ensuring high performance with reduced fuel consumption. The four-deck layout amplifies onboard spaces designed to capture moments of conviviality and relaxation.

The yacht’s large, glazed surfaces in the hull and over two-metre-high decks, plus generous stern and bow areas, offer the owner and guests a wide-open, panoramic view in every direction and direct contact with the water.

The hull has a flowing, linear balance underscored by the continuity of the interior and exterior surfaces, maximising the spaces and volumes in terms of their use and functionality. The interior design cleverly blends classicism with a contemporary aesthetic, introducing surprising notes in the form of refined carbon detailing and custom claddings featuring exclusive textures and lacquering.

The furnishings and decor have been produced to reflect the owner’s wishes, style and personality. The mood is ‘sporty chic’, with the addition of fine, natural materials such as nubuck leather and American walnut, as well as Calacatta Gold and Sahara Noir marble, quartz and silver grey beola stone for out-of-the-ordinary tops and furnishings.

The skilful use of colour plays a key role in the yacht’s aesthetics, giving the boat a fresh and inviting look. The pairings of pale, neutral shades, including beige, ecru and white, blend harmoniously with darker and more distinctive nuances such as tobacco, burnt brown, chocolate and rust, creating original contrasts with the different shades of green featured in several cabins and the freestanding furniture.

FERRETTI GROUP SUPPORTS DAVID BECKHAM'S 7 FUND FOR UNICEF

Ferretti Group donates proceeds from auction of its special-edition yacht to support UNICEF’s work keeping children safe in El Salvador

Ferretti Group supports David Beckhams 7 Fund UNICEF
Rome, February 27, 2024

An auction organised by Ferretti Group, in support of David Beckham’s 7 Fund for UNICEF, has ended, with the proceeds of the special-edition yacht going towards UNICEF’s work in El Salvador, creating safe spaces for children to learn and play.

The Ferretti Group auctioned a Riva Anniversario boat to raise funds, which will go towards protecting children, particularly those living in El Salvador whose lives are often threatened by violence.

In 2023, the 7 Fund delivered sports, cultural, and artistic activities to over five thousand children and adolescents in El Salvador. These activities aimed to foster inclusion, eliminate gender stereotypes, and strengthen community bonds, all while addressing the problems that the country faces concerning violence against children. To date, more than 36,000 children in El Salvador have benefited from this programme.

“Providing children with safe spaces to learn and play is key to ensuring their enrolment in education and providing them with opportunities to develop their full potential. This is why we are grateful to Ferretti Group for the donation made to UNICEF through the 7 Fund,” said UNICEF Private Fundraising and Partnerships Director Carla Haddad Mardini.

“I would like to thank UNICEF for the chance to contribute through our boat to such a noble and deserving cause as the one supported by ‘7 Fund for UNICEF’. It is an honour to have actively participated in this project that offers hope and opportunity to thousands of children and their families,” said Ferretti Group CEO Alberto Galassi.

In El Salvador, violence against children and adolescents continues to be one of the country's greatest challenges to the fulfilment of their rights. Social norms and attitudes perpetuate various forms of violence against children and adolescents, including at home and in school. In 2023, the lead institution of El Salvador’s protection system reported 28,779 violations of the rights of children and adolescents, with 87.45% of these violations related to violence and abuse.

To help tackle this issue, the 7 Fund is working in six of the most violent areas of El Salvador to help prevent and respond to acts of violence against children and adolescents. The goal is to help them to attend school by making public spaces safer and child-friendly, and to strengthen child protection services, making them more accessible. The 7 Fund also aims to provide all children in the six areas with the opportunity to play sports safely, so that they can develop resilience and learn life skills.

7: The David Beckham UNICEF Fund was launched in February 2015 to mark David Beckham’s tenth year as a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador. The Fund is a unique partnership between David Beckham and UNICEF that is helping to give vulnerable and disadvantaged children the opportunity to reach their full potential.

NOTES TO EDITORS
Riva Anniversario is the special limited-edition boat created by Riva to celebrate the shipyard's 180th anniversary and the 60th anniversary of the iconic Aquarama. Only 18 examples were produced, one of which was destined to support the work of 7: The David Beckham UNICEF Fund.

CRN 60M - M/Y COMFORTABLY NUMB

M/Y COMFORTABLY NUMB: THE PERFECT BLEND OF BESPOKE DESIGN & SOPHISTICATED NAVAL ENGINEERING 

Outstanding performance combined with maximum cruising comfort for this 60-metre aluminium yacht

MY Comfortably Numb body
Ancona, February 14, 2024

Delivered in December 2022, the 60-metre aluminium M/Y Comfortably Numb is a paradigm of innovation and bespoke design by CRN. This unique project – with full-custom design, naval architecture, engineering and construction – was developed by the brand at the Ancona Superyacht Yard.

Highly innovative, she’s the result of CRN’s in-depth know-how and ongoing R&D effort. The shipyard’s design and build quality blends admirably with the creativity of Italian architects Nuvolari Lenard, who developed the concept for the exterior styling and interiors. The result is a totally bespoke, handcrafted ship with spaces designed to offer an fantastic cruising experience, perfect for an owner family who enjoy spending long periods on board.

Keenly desired by expert owners who wanted a high-performance displacement superyacht, CRN M/Y Comfortably Numb combines reduced draft for cruising in the shallow waters of the Caribbean, courtesy of her in-line propellers, with generous ceiling heights and plenty of space in the guest and crew areas, both key features of the customer’s vision and kept in mind by the shipyard’s project management team throughout the design process.

CRN M/Y Comfortably Numb has a very strong stylistic identity, featuring exterior lines that are sleek, taut, sweeping and powerful, expressing the yacht’s sophisticated yet contemporary elegance and tapping into the ideas of speed and fluidity typical of automotive design. The sculpted silhouette and bold exterior styling are eye-catching even from a distance, breathing life into a one-of-a-kind, full-custom icon.

60.33 metres long, 10.55 metres in the beam and with a gross tonnage of 1,114 GT, the superyacht spans five decks and can accommodate 12 guests and 13 crew. Featuring cutting-edge technology combined with superlative craftsmanship, CRN M/Y Comfortably Numb is designed for maximum cruising comfort, even on long voyages, and delivers unique performance for a pleasure vessel, with a top speed of over 25 knots. Designed and built to the highest standards of excellence and epitomising the brand’s innovative approach, Comfortably Numb is a high-performance superyacht that marries outstanding performance with an exclusive on-board lifestyle. In the development process, there was a special focus on generous, comfortable living areas designed to convey a powerful sense of spaciousness: the light-filled interiors and exteriors are masterfully interconnected and amplified by floor-to-ceiling windows that establish constant, direct contact with the sea.

And with the ultimate aim of achieving the exacting weight and speed requirements stipulated in the contract, this hi-tech superyacht draws on materials research as complex as it is meticulous. One example is CRN’s use of lightweight cork during the application and levelling of the teak decking, preferring it to higher-density alternatives.

With its team of specialist engineers and technical experts, CRN has devised a system of extremely precise strain gauges to constantly monitor the vessel’s weight and centre of gravity via Wi-Fi. The two MTU 20V 4000 M93L engines – the first to be fitted on a CRN yacht – are combined with a SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) system and power the vessel to a top speed of over 25 knots and a cruising speed of 22.5 knots. The CRN engineering team's razor-sharp focus on fine-tuning their design and calculations has created a supremely innovative, lightweight and high-performance superyacht.

The 60-metre CRN M/Y Comfortably Numb’s IMO Tier III certification is the result of a reduction of up to 70% in harmful nitrogen oxides (NOx) emissions contained in the engine exhaust.

A dazzling combination of naval engineering, innovation, craftsmanship and bespoke Italian style, the 60-metre CRN M/Y Comfortably Numb is a sublime expression of the pooled expertise at the historic Ancona yard. For over 60 years, our talented staff, partners and suppliers operate there every day to create iconic yachts that are unique, distinctive and state-of-the-art, reflecting their owners’ vision and lifestyle.

Forli,  February 09, 2024 -  Ferretti Group is gearing up for the voyage to Florida and the world-renowned Miami International Boat Show, held this year from February 14 to 18.

The Group will be taking a fleet of six magnificent yachts to the event, including two premieres for the AMAS region: Riva 82’ Diva, the flybridge with endless outdoor space that offers a new take on the interior design and was given its world premiere at last year's Cannes Boat Show, and Itama 62RS, the open yacht with sporty lines and timeless appeal.

The two debuts on the American market will be accompanied by four spectacular boats:
• Ferretti Yachts 860
• Pershing 8X
• wallywhy150
• Custom Line 106’

The Group will be joined by a select group of partners to ensure guests and visitors have a great time: Range Rover, confirmed as official automotive partner, and private aviation leader Flexjet, plus Frette, Poltrona Frau and Perennials & Sutherland who will provide the furnishings for Custom Line. The prestigious line-up of partners also includes Dolce & Gabbana for the tailor-made staff uniforms, La Scolca and Pommery for exclusive toasts, Seabob and Smeraldina.

RIVA 82’ DIVA
Exterior Design: Officina Italiana Design
Interior Design: Officina Italiana Design
Shipyard: Riva (La Spezia – Italy)
Riva 82’ Diva is the new star of Riva’s flybridge range and joins four hugely successful models: Riva 90’ Argo, Riva 102’ Corsaro Super, Riva 110’ Dolcevita and Riva 130’ Bellissima. Bewitchingly beautiful and innovative, Riva 82’ Diva revolutionises the onboard spaces, achieving a perfect equilibrium of functionality, comfort and design. The new concept puts the emphasis on outdoor liveability and offers a new take on the interiors. The flybridge was developed to accommodate three separate spaces: a central lounge complete with dinette and bar, a sunbathing area forward, and a lounge area. Aft on the main deck, there is a spacious, innovative beach club of unprecedented size for the category and with a generous sun pad.

ITAMA 62RS
Exterior Design & Decor: Ferretti Group Engineering Department
Shipyard: Mondolfo (PU)
Itama 62RS epitomises the brand’s values: Mediterranean, sporty and elegant. She’s blue like the sea and free like the wind of style and innovation that makes this yacht even more appealing. A timeless classic, this model is a distillation of agility, power and elegance, with a new version that writes a new chapter in the history of Itama and makes fans of sailing in direct contact with the water fall in love all over again. With a blue hull and a deck entirely clad in teak, this new version of the much-loved 19-metre-plus open is an anthem to intelligent cruising, featuring a technological upgrade that makes it even smarter without betraying the boat’s original spirit. The traditional Mediterranean mood that has given Itama its iconic status is combined with a style in line with the most up-to-date interior design trends.
