Both models will have their global debuts at the Ferretti Group Private Preview in early September before appearing at the Cannes Yachting Festival (September 12-17). Both were the brainchild of the Group’s Product Strategy Committee, Engineering Department and Zuccon International Project.

Stefano de Vivo, Chief Commercial Officer of Ferretti Group, said: “The launch of Ferretti Yachts 780 was a major step in the ever-evolving journey of our brand and was just ahead of the equally important launch of Ferretti Yachts 920, the new maxi fly bridge also built in the Cattolica yard.

“Judging by the success of Ferretti Yachts 450 and Ferretti Yachts 850, we are certain that the new 780 and the 92-footer will capture the hearts of yachting enthusiasts across Europe, Asia and the Americas.” The first FY780 will later be shown at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show before heading to boot Dusseldorf in January, followed by her Asia-Pacific premiere later in 2018. The second FY920 will head to the US, where it will be on display at Yachts Miami Beach in February, while the third FY920 will feature the Tai He Ban layout for Far East markets and will make her first appearance next year in Asia. www.ferretti-yachts.com
