The latest announcement is out from Ferretti S.p.A. ( (IT:YACHT) ).

Ferretti reported an unaudited commercial and financial update for the first quarter of 2026, highlighting participation in major international boat shows in Düsseldorf, Miami and Palm Beach. During the period, KKCG Maritime completed a conditional voluntary partial tender offer and emerged with a 23.25% stake in the company, signaling a significant change in its shareholder base and potential strategic influence.

Q1 2026 order intake fell to €179.6 million from €270.6 million a year earlier, mainly due to geopolitical tensions in the Middle East that delayed yacht contract signings and deliveries in that region. Despite weaker intake and no new orders in the super yacht and other businesses segments, negotiations in progress have risen sharply to about €630 million, with Europe’s share of orders increasing to 55.2%, suggesting a stronger pipeline and ongoing demand concentration in that market.
