Ferretti Group and Yacht Club de Monaco
The star performed exclusively for the guests of the ‘Private Preview’, the Ferretti Group’s annual event in
collaboration with the Yacht Club de Monaco.
A unique concert and the absolute preview of the Ferretti Group fleet with the 5 world première that will make
their official debut at the Cannes Yachting Festival starting from Tuesday September 11th
Monte Carlo, September 8
th 2018 – For the fourth year in a row Ferretti Group and Yacht Club de Monaco gave a
unique show to the yacht owners invited to the “Private Preview”, the annual appointment dedicated to the presentation
in absolute preview of the entire fleet of Ferretti Yachts, Pershing, Riva, Itama, CRN and Custom Line, just a few days
before the world premiere at Cannes Yachting Festival 2018.
This year, the exclusive performance of a music legend, Sting, made magic the evening event produced by the Group in
collaboration with the Yacht Club de Monaco. “Fields of Gold” is the title of the exclusive concert that the British singersongwriter
held for selected guests in the extraordinary setting of Monte-Carlo, surrounded by a fleet of over 30
vessels representing all the Group’s brands.
The star enchanted the audience playing a lineup of incredible hits from his extraordinary solo career and from the
repertoire of his historic band, the Police. The audience got excited about the seductive notes of “Roxanne”, the melody
of the timeless “Every breath you take”, and of real cults like “If I ever lose my faith in you”, “Message in a bottle”, of the
melancholic “Fragile” and of the famous “Fields of gold”.
“Eclectic and refined musician, Sting has been collecting hits for over 40 years reinterpreting his unique musical style” –
said the CEO of Ferretti Group, Alberto Galassi. “Pushed by my personal friendship and admiration for this incredible
artist, I am proud to have made Sting protagonist of our unmissable annual event in Monte-Carlo. The star honored us
with a very exciting concert, intimate and amusing at the same time; an unrepeatable performance reserved for our
shipowners and the members of the Yacht Club de Monaco, inaugurating the Private Preview, two days of onboard visits
and sea trial on the Group’s fleet, including 6 world première”.
“Consistently with our project “Monaco, Capital of Yachting”, we are happy, just a few days from the Cannes Yachting
Festival and the Monaco Yacht Show, to give the start to the autumn season of the “Grande Plaisance” on the Côte
d’Azur. Thanks to the collaboration of Ferretti Group, it was a great pleasure for us to welcome an artist like Sting, both
for his musical talent and for his commitment to preservation and protection of the environment, a value dear to the
Yacht Club de Monaco and the Principality. His outstanding performance was the further proof, we are all “mad about …
him” declared Bernard d’Alessandri, General Secretary of the Yacht Club of Monaco.
