Since the brand’s inception in 1968, Ferretti has been creating exceptionally luxurious, first-class yachts but initially, brothers Alessandro and Norberto Ferretti were the owners and operators of a specialist luxury car dealership. The tides turned when their first model, a 10-metre leisure yacht equipped with both sails and an engine, was met with great acclaim at a 1971 Genoa Boat Show. In 1975 the Ferretti brother abandoned cars altogether and focused on their groundbreaking nautical business. From then on Ferretti Yachts have been leaders in the industry with the innovative design, fabrication and marketing of their beautiful craft.
