Even this year Ferretti Yachts stole the show at the Festival de la Plaisance held in Cannes. From the 9th until the 14th of September it is the boatshow that opens the new nautical season 2009-2010. It offered a very special event addressed to VIP, media and yachts owners from all around the world. During the evening Gala, the most exclusive yachts took part in the sea parade in front of the Carlton Hotel. Afterwards, the "World Yachts Trophies 2009" were assigned to the winning shipyards by Luxmediagroup, a worldwide network of nautical magazines in its seventh edition. After a long selection among the yacht projects accomplished from July 2008 and July 2009, the worldwide specialists panel assigned the "Best Layout" award to Ferretti Altura 840 in the yachts over 24 metres category.

Made in cooperation between Studio Zuccon International Project and Ferretti Group AYT (Advanced Yacht Technology), one of the most advanced research and development centres in the naval sector, the Altura 840 represents the perfect synthesis between the aft cabin motoryacht project (with the master cabin aft, conceived for medium and long range cruising) and the flying bridge, which is based on a design solution that allows no compromises on the high quality, technology, comfort and design typical of Ferretti. The Altura 840 marks an evolution and renewal for the yard, extending the historic series born in the mid-70s with Altura 42, a fibreglass motorsailer inspired by the principles of light, comfort and safety. This was followed in the 1980s by the Altura 46 and Altura 49, pioneer models that opened up an age of motoryachting with cutting edge innovation, arriving at Altura 690, the 21 metres launched in 2005 which gave inspiration to the latest Altura 840.

During the prize ceremony, the "Best Layout 2009 over 24 meters" was accepted by Norberto Ferretti, President and founder of the Ferretti Group, Gianni Zuccon from Studio Zuccon International Project, who gave birth to the Altura project and Marco Segato, Vice President of Sales of Ferretti Yachts. "This is a very important prize for us confirming the success of the Altura line during the years and a big result for the upcoming nautical season. With Altura 840 we offered the sea lovers a new way of Being Ferretti, living the sea with the maximum comfort of an exclusive villa thanks to the design, quality and technology of our yacht."
