The best loved sport-fly is now even more desirable. There are many reasons to fall in love with the new Riva 76’ Perseo, heir to and evolution of the multiple award-winning 76’ Perseo, which exceeds every expectation in terms of design, aesthetics, functionality, on-board liveability and performance.

The yacht was launched on Thursday May 27 in La Spezia, where the shipyard that produces the brand’s models from 76 to 130 feet is based.

“Only Riva can propel a legend into the future, because only Riva perfectly understands the codes of the brand’s tradition and its aesthetic and technological know-how,” said Ferretti Group CEO Alberto Galassi. “The result is Riva 76’ Perseo Super, whose prodigious beauty radiates elegance and sportiness. Super by name and also in reality.”

With an overall length of 23.25 metres (76 ft) and a maximum beam of 5.75 metres (18 ft), the new Riva sport- fly is the result of collaboration between the Product Strategy Committee led by Mr. Piero Ferrari, designer Mauro Micheli, the founder of Officina Italiana Design with Sergio Beretta, and the Ferretti Group Engineering Department.

Over 40 square metres of glazed surfaces on the hull and in the superstructure characterise the yacht’s sleek profile and enhance the sporty look of the exterior styling. The mahogany and polished stainless steel detailing, which has both technical and design functions, pays stylistic tribute to the authentic Riva tradition.

In the cockpit, designed for maximum conviviality, the dining area can easily become a spacious sun pad when needed, by lowering the table for eight and covering it with cushions.

Perfectly integrated into the yacht’s aerodynamic lines, the sun deck offers a place both to relax in total privacy and to pilot the boat from a privileged position, with a generous central sun pad of about four square metres, while forward, the central section of the second helm station is flanked by sofas on both the port and starboard sides.

The refined combination of sand-coloured oak and light or dark lacquer is a distinctive feature of the entire main deck, as well as of the yacht’s interiors as a whole. The owner can also opt for rosewood as an alternative.

In the standard layout, Riva 76’ Perseo Super accommodates guests on the lower deck in three cabins, all with en-suite bathrooms, but the owner can also request a fourth cabin, configured as always to ensure optimum comfort and liveability. Completing the lower deck are a small lounge and a separate galley.

The entire area is designed to ensure the best possible acoustic insulation, with supplementary soundproofing in all the forward and aft walls of the owner’s suite.

Already sold, Riva 76’ Perseo Super is ready to reach her owner for a wonderful summer and then, in September, will visit the Cannes Yachting Festival 2021 for her official debut.

At an online presentation reserved for the press, Azimut Yachts unveiled its new Azimut Grande Trideck flagship, the brand’s first yacht with three decks and an expression of the DNA that continues to give the company its signature ability to innovate in terms of design, style and construction.

Azimut Grande Trideck has three decks “plus one”. “Plus one” because Trideck has an extra deck in the stern in addition to the traditional three. The result is a cascade of four staggered terraces descending from the Sun Deck to the water’s surface.

The launch of the new flagship also gave Azimut Yachts the chance to bring forward the introduction of A-LIVE, a cutting-edge multi-sensory immersive digital experience that makes use of 360-degree vision to allow online users to move around the yacht and, above all, to convey the sense of openness and contact with the water.

Azimut Yachts again makes use of new digital tools and the presentation offered an opportunity to introduce A-LIVE, the immersive digital experience available on the brand’s website from May 29.  This state-of-the-art multi-sensory system makes use of 360-degree vision – complete with sound design and unexpected plays of light and reflection that reproduce the images and sounds of the waves, the wake and the wind – not only to allow online users to move freely around the yacht and find out about the distinctive features of its design and styling, but also to convey the sense of openness and contact with the water that in the past could only be experienced on board.

This immersive, dynamic tour of the yacht is also enhanced by a series of In-Depth Hotspots, which when clicked on play videos containing details about all the advanced technology on board.

A-LIVE therefore represents an evolution of the A-ROOM, the digital space introduced by Azimut Yachts in January for everyone interested in finding out about new products in detail.

The technical data sheet, full description, and images of Azimut Grande Trideck will be available from Friday 28.

Compact and provocative, the new entry in the Generation X range is second to none

Self-assured and defiant, with a slew of new features and an incredible 48 knots of power: Pershing 6X expresses the boldest and most daring side of the brand’s character, the side that always appeals to people who love excitement on the water. Compact but in no way incomplete, it packs all the best of the brand’s leading-edge technology into a compact form factor. It refuses to be intimidated and is ready to fight its side on a level playing field.

18.94 metres (about 62 ft) long and 4.80 metres (about 16 ft) wide, Pershing 6X is the result of collaboration between Ferretti Group’s Product Strategy Committee led by Mr. Piero Ferrari, the design firm headed by Fulvio De Simoni, and the Group’s Engineering Department.

EXTERIOR DESIGN AND MAIN FEATURES

Pershing 6X has an eye-catchingly sleek and streamlined appearance, with exterior styling that shares the same family feeling as the other Generation X models. The new yacht turns heads with its highly aerodynamic profile and large glazed surfaces in the hull that flood the lower deck with natural light.

The main novelties include style features that clearly reflect Pershing’s approach to design in recent years, further improving functional and comfort-related design goals without affecting outstanding performance. They include the new styling of the big aft sun pad, the carbon and teak table in the cockpit dining area, and the chaise longue with reclining backrest positioned forward. 

INTERIOR DESIGN AND LAYOUT

The most important new feature on the main deck is the helm station, made up of a dashboard with two 19-inch monitors, carbon fibre control panels and an electro-hydraulic steering system. Also available is an innovative joystick coupled to the surface drive with various advanced operating modes, including ‘easy handling’ for ground-breaking manoeuvrability in ports and confined waters. A large sunroof opens over the dashboard to take cruising enjoyment to the next level.

The first Pershing 6X unit has a layout with three cabins – owner, forward VIP and starboard guest – and three bathrooms with separate shower. The guest bathroom, which can be entered both from the cabin and the lobby on the mezzanine, also acts as day toilet.  On the left side of the hull is the galley, strategically positioned to benefit from various sources of natural light, including a ceiling window. The version for the American market has two cabins – owner and VIP – with a living space replacing the guest cabin.

Both versions have a crew cabin entered from the cockpit, with a single bed and integrated bathroom.

Among the other novel features are new rectangular portholes that look even more like real windows.

The materials used for the interiors of the new 6X are in perfect Pershing style, with extensive use of plain and lacquered wood for the furniture, parquet floors, Mastrotto and Poltrona Frau leathers, and mirrored panels in the owner’s cabin. The lighting system features new horizontal LED bars in the ceiling that match the decor based on alternating smooth and undulated surfaces. 

PROPULSION AND TECHNOLOGY

Pershing 6X confirms the outstanding performance standards set by the entire X Range: a top speed of almost 48 knots and a cruising speed of about 42 knots, with a pair of 1,550 mhp MAN V12 1550 engines.
