Ferretti Group has launched Fifty, the second Riva 50 Metri, less than two years after the debut of the first.

Riva has unveiled its first new model of 2020 as the 88’ Folgore – Italian for ‘lightning’ – touches water at the La Spezia shipyard.

One of the world’s biggest yachting conglomerates, Italy’s Ferretti Group has restarted production, “safely picking up where it left off”.

Like every boat designed by Wally founder Luca Bassani, the 48 Wallytender is simply cool – and it’s even cooler when ‘the volcano’ himself is driving it.

Cannes Yachting Festival organisers announced a record attendance in 2019 and a good response to separate motor and sail zones in Vieux Port and Port Canto.

Italy’s Custom Line will display its new 106’ at the Venice Boat Show (June 18-23), while larger models are scheduled to arrive in Asia in the coming months.
