Ferretti Group Expands Superyacht Operations

The Ferretti Group continues to grow in terms of turnover and production capacity and efficiency. In a ceremony attended by representatives of institutions and authorities from the shipbuilding and maritime sector, the new Ferretti Group Superyacht Yard was inaugurated 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 aluminum and steel boats.

The area extends across a total of 4,200 square meters, of which 3,000 square meters 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, 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 customization applied to the yachts, starting with the materials used, such as fine leather, wood, and marble.

The Ancona shipyard, which covers a total surface area of over 80,000 square meters, is designed for the construction of pleasure vessels up to 90 meters 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 meters, and Pershing 140 units. The shipyard houses a 670-ton travel-lift used to launch steel and aluminum yachts up to 50 meters 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 centralized 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 meters 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, and heat and cooling power for several years now at the Ferretti Group Superyacht Yard in Ancona.
