Private visits, dedicated presentations and sea trials allowed its guests to experience the yachts first-hand and discover the qualities that make each Ferretti Group brand unique. An unforgettable evening in Monaco. The highlight of the social programme took place on Saturday, September 5. Guests enjoyed an exclusive dinner created by three-Michelin-starred chef Antonio Mellino, followed by a spectacular live performance by OneRepublic. With the illuminated Ferretti Group fleet forming a remarkable backdrop, the American band performed some of its best-known songs, including Apologize and I Ain't Worried. It was an extraordinary evening that brought together yachting, music, Italian style and world-class hospitality. "The Private Preview is much more than an event. It is the moment when our brands, our people and our owners come together around what Ferretti Group does best: creating extraordinary yachts and unforgettable experiences," said Stassi Anastassov, Global Chief Executive Officer of Ferretti Group.
