Forty-one yachts, five world premieres and an exclusive concert by OneRepublic took to the stage as the Ferretti Group again chose Yacht Club de Monaco to kick off the autumn international boat show season.
Saturday 5 September 2026. For four days, the YCM Marina had an air of a private showcase as the Ferretti Group hosted the 11th edition of its signature Private Preview, an event now firmly established in Monaco, days before the major boat shows that herald the season, the biggest being the Monaco Yacht Show.
A total of 41 yachts from the Group’s various brands were gathered at the Yacht Club de Monaco so clients, owners and guests could discover the new models in an exclusive setting on the quay and on the water.
The five world premiere yachts were the Itama 70, the Riva 96’ Argo Super, the Riva 56’ Rivale Super, the Pershing GTX90 and the Custom Line Navetta 35. Alongside them was the new version of Ferretti Yachts 720 which had been presented at boot Düsseldorf earlier in the year. For several days, the fleet were centre stage in the YCM Marina at an event that also showcases the ties forged over many years between Yacht Club de Monaco and the Ferretti Group.
“The best collaborations are those born from a shared vision. Over the years, the Private Preview has established itself as one of the most exclusive events in international yachting. It has become a very special occasion that brings yacht owners from around the world together by invitation, united by a shared maritime culture defined by high standards, a spirit of sharing, and elegance. This international community fully embodies the spirit of our ‘Monaco, Capital of Advanced Yachting’ initiative,” said Bernard d’Alessandri, Yacht Club de Monaco’s Director and General Secretary, and President of the Cluster Yachting Monaco.
As well as the fleet showcased on the water, on land Chef Antonio Mellino produced one of the dinners before another highly anticipated event took to an on-water stage on Saturday evening, 5 September.
Again in the heart of the YCM Marina, American genre-blending pop-rock band OneRepublic put on a concert for guests against a backdrop of yachts, including hits like Apologize and I Ain’t Worried.
“The impressions left by this 11th edition were extremely positive and confirm our brands’ ability to create unique experiences and evoke powerful emotions. The extended Ferretti Group family, our owners and our guests were captivated by the spectacular atmosphere of a stand-out event on the international yachting stage, one where the world’s finest boats are gathered in a magical setting. We are also getting excellent feedback on the interest and enthusiasm generated by the five world premieres, exceptional models now ready to take on the autumn boat shows. We are heading to Cannes and Monaco with great enthusiasm, convinced that these new models and this outstanding fleet will be among the stars of the international yachting season,” said Stassi Anastassov, Global Chief Executive Officer of Ferretti Group.
The season continues with two major events in the Mediterranean in September: the Cannes Yachting Festival, then the Monaco Yacht Show when YCM will resume its recognised role as a platform for exchange serving professionals in the industry.
