NEW OPERATIONAL HEADQUARTERS OFFICIALLY OPENED TODAY:
ANOTHER STEP FORWARD IN THE STRATEGIC EXPANSION OF THE FERRETTI GROUP SUPERYACHT YARD IN ANCONA
Ferretti Group continues to grow, not only in terms of turnover but also of production capacity and efficiency.
In a solemn ceremony attended by representatives of institutions and authorities from the shipbuilding
and maritime sector, the new Ferretti Group Superyacht Yard was inaugurated today in Ancona.
The ribbon-cutting ceremony attended by Authorities and Ferretti Group CEO Alberto Galassi officially
opened this new area in the Superyacht Yard, which is now ready to become an important strategic and
operating hub. The building located in Via Enrico Mattei has been extensively refurbished to create a
modern, functional environment that will be the new home of the management team, the design and
planning office, and the entire department dedicated to aluminium and steel boats.
“2023 is an important year for us, one packed with new developments and even more growth: the dual
listing in Milan and Hong Kong, the Ravenna shipyard acquisition and today, here in Ancona, a new space
that speaks to the future and to italian luxury,” said Ferretti Group CEO Alberto Galassi. “This new area,
which completes the Ferretti Group Superyacht Yard, is another step forward for our research into
technology and style. It is where our employees will find the ideal environment to fully express their
outstanding skills, and where our owners can come to choose the most beautiful boats in the world.
Because this is where the dreams of yachting enthusiasts come true.”
The area extends across a total of 4,200 square metres, of which 3,000 sqm of office space, and will be home to the technical office, project managers, project architects, the purchasing office, planning and control, logistics, production management, the construction project engineer and the boat foremen, as well as a spacious, elegant reception area for customers.
The new spaces, the result of work to extend and redevelop an existing building and the Ancona shipbuilding district, take their inspiration from the prestigious boats built by Ferretti Group. The design of the interiors reflects the approach to customisation applied to the yachts, starting with the materials used, such as fine leather, wood and marble. Each space is personalised and loving care is
lavished on every single detail, from the hand rails to the model boat display cases.
The Ancona shipyard, which covers a total surface area of over 80,000 square metres, is designed for
the construction of pleasure vessels up to 90 metres in length.
This expansion is a key milestone in consolidating the Ferretti Group Superyacht Yard as a strategic
multi-brand yacht construction hub. It’s where Ferretti Group builds CRN super and megayachts, the
entire Custom Line range, Riva yachts over 50 metres and Pershing 140 units.
The shipyard vaunts a 670-tonne travel-lift, used to launch steel and aluminium yachts up to 50 metres
in length.
Completing the production site are nine industrial sheds in which up to 24 superyachts can be built in parallel. These modern high-tech sheds all feature state-of-the-art air-extraction, compressed-air and centralised technical-gas systems, heating and power-generation systems, and two overhead cranes for handling and installing materials on board.
The stretch of water that opens out in front is a unique space and a precious resource – a gateway to
the Adriatic and a private tourist marina to full effect. Extending 250 metres along the coast, it provides
large berths for fitting out and finishing up to 15 superyachts at once, and for tests and inspections
through to the delivery of each pleasure boat and superyacht.
On the sustainability and environmental front, a modern tri-generation plant has been producing
electric, heat and cooling power for a number of years now at the Ferretti Group Superyacht Yard in
Ancona.
