The Ferretti Yachts 1000 is the flagship of the brand
Ferretti Group has announced the sale of a new Ferretti Yachts 1000 to a buyer in Taiwan. The Ferretti Yachts 1000 is the new flagship of the Ferretti Yachts line. The yacht was purchased by an experienced owner who will be cruising around Taiwan and also plans to cruise to Japan “whenever possible.”

Amal Yachting is headed by former naval architect Tee Tzer-Yu, who co-founded Amal Yachting in 2014.
