Ferretti Group is premiering for the first time in the Americas two floating masterpieces. Located at Island Gardens and accessible via water taxi (directly through the Ferretti Group stand at the Miami Yacht Show), the following yachts will make their debut:
Riva 66-foot Ribelle
This high-tech sport flybridge, featuring a striking ‘Blue Sapphire’ hull, combines trademark steel and mahogany Riva elements and modernizes them. The flagship of the Sarnico shipyard, the 66’ Ribelle combines timeless Riva allure with innovative on-board features. The garage, large enough to accommodate both a Williams 345 tender and a Seabob, makes this yacht ideal for entertaining.
Riva 100-foot Corsaro
A perfect blend of comfort, performance, and style, the 100-foot Corsaro finds balance between its majestic size and a sporty look. With a ‘Shark Grey’ metallic exterior, this flybridge yacht is unparalleled. Hermès, Ivano Redaelli, and Dedon are just some of the luxury designers who came together to make this yacht a truly one-of-a-kind masterpiece. For photos, please click here.
Cheoy Lee (CL Yachts) to debut
CL Yachts will makes its first public appearance at the yacht show and display its latest models, the CLA76 and CLB72.
The CLA76 is the successor to Cheoy Lee’s popular Alpha Express Series. The builder says it has fluid lines and a sharp silhouette to define the dynamic exterior of the yacht, which is accompanied by thoughtfully designed interiors that exude modernity, comfort, and elegance at its best. Thanks to its resin-infused, composite hull designed by Michael Peters Yacht Design, coupled with a foam cored monocoque structure by acclaimed naval architect Al Horsmon, the CLA76 excels in efficiency and performance.
The CLB72 is like the CLA76, but is smaller. It is built upon the combined expertise of naval architect Howard Apollonio, and leading marine structural engineers Gurit. It is designed to pushes the boundaries of marine engineering, achieving an exceptionally lightweight and aesthetically pleasing design without compromising the integrity of its structure, the company says. Its resin-infused composite hull and strategic use of carbon fiber ensures outstanding efficiency, performance, and durability.
