Ferretti - 40 Years As A Leader

"I was little more than a boy when my father gave in to my protracted pleading and bought me the most important toy of my life, a small boat just 5.70 metres long. This was the beginning of an activity that began as a game and went onto become one of the Italian industry' most extraordinary stories, leading to the creation of the Ferretti Group". That's how Norberto Ferretti, President of the Ferretti Group, describes the birth of a vision that has led him to confront the constant challenges that have been the driving force behind 40 years of success, a period shaped by his total personal commitment and involvement.

The Ferretti story began in 1968, when brothers Alessandro and Norberto Ferretti established their naval yard. It's an experience crowned by the achievement of extraordinary goals, created with passion, farsightedness and professionalism. These values have led the Ferretti Group to become what is today an international icon of Made in Italy luxury.

In 2008 Ferretti celebrates the 40th anniversary of its foundation with a packed calendar of dates involving clients, the media, yards and local communities on an international level. Along with a number of special projects to be revealed in the second part of the year, 2008 will offer two main events.

The first, next April, is "Privilege Days", an event dedicated to Owners of Ferretti yachts. On this occasion it will take place at a symbolic location for the yard, Cattolica, where is located the production site of the most prestigious models of the Ferretti Yachts fleet. On these special "Privilege Days" the Marina Nuova at Cattolica will host the entire Ferretti Yachts, Mochi Craft and Custom Line fleet, all completely open to visit for clients and prospects, offering them two unique, unforgettable days to experience the excellence Ferretti. The climax of the event is an exclusive dinner party for a limited number of guests at the Horses Riviera Resort.

The end of the nautical year will be marked by a prestigious, internationally significant event: Ferretti is to celebrate its 40th anniversary with a unique performance, a private concert at The Teatro alla Scala in Milan dedicated to all those who have experienced, shared and contributed to the Company's success.
Finally, a special celebratory logo has been created for all the activities involved in this exceptional occasion.
