The multinational shipbuilding company has shown its strength in the Asian yachting market, claiming six awards in the space of two months.

The Ferretti Group ended 2020 on a high, picking up a number of awards across the Asian sector of the yachting market.

The Group took home four trophies at the Oceanway China Yacht Annual Awards held in Zhuhai, China on 11 December. These awards recognize the most innovative yachts for sale in the industry, taking account of style, construction, comfort and more.
