Allied Marine Yacht Brokerage, a Ferretti Group company, is expanding its East End presence this summer with a strategic showcase of Italian yacht craftsmanship across multiple Hamptons locations.
As Long Island’s boating season reaches full swing, Allied Marine has positioned itself from Huntington to Sag Harbor, featuring two distinct Italian vessels that represent different approaches to luxury yachting. This includes a special showcase at the expansive Montauk Yacht Club, home to the Hamptons’ largest marina, bringing high-end Italian design directly to one of the region’s most popular boating destinations.
The Riva 68′ Diable showcases classic Italian styling with its distinctive windshield and mahogany detailing.
Allied Marine’s Sag Harbor location features the Riva 68’ Diable, available for viewing by appointment. At 68 feet long with a 17-foot beam, the vessel represents Riva’s contemporary interpretation of their signature open yacht design.
The Diable’s exterior features Riva’s characteristic windshield with spherical crystals and slight counter-curvature, complemented by traditional mahogany detailing and polished stainless-steel elements. Modern additions include a carbon fiber hard top with an integrated air conditioning system.
Twin MAN V12 V-drive engines, each producing 1,650 horsepower, power the vessel to a top speed of 40 knots with a cruising speed of 34 knots. The yacht accommodates six guests across three rooms, each designed for comfort and privacy to meet the expectations of the modern traveler, and each with private bathrooms, centered around an open galley and dinette configuration.
The Pershing GTX80 at anchor, showcasing its elegant Italian styling.
At Allied Marine’s Huntington location on 133 New York Ave, the spectacular Pershing GTX80 awaits those seeking the ultimate expression of speed and sophistication. Available for viewing by appointment only, this 24-meter masterpiece represents unchallenged dominance on the water.
The GTX80 seamlessly blends interiors and exteriors, creating unique spaces and a new dimension of comfort across two decks plus a sportbridge.
What sets the GTX80 apart is its innovative design approach. The yacht features no stanchions, highlighting the near-vertical bow and continuous, slightly convex sheer-line. The stern bulwarks serve a dual function, incorporating winches while converting into lateral terraces that swing down for unprecedented water access—a first for any Pershing model.
The standout feature is the versatile stern platform with three different positions. It can remain in the default position, be raised flush with the beach area to extend the aft living space or be used for launching tenders. Combined with the lateral terraces, this creates an extraordinary connection to the water. On board, guests can enjoy amazing amenities designed for both relaxation and entertainment, ensuring a fun and memorable experience for everyone.
Powered by three VOLVO PENTA D13 IPS1350 engines, the GTX80 reaches a top speed of 34 knots with a cruising speed of 28 knots. The yacht comfortably accommodates up to eight guests in four cabins, plus crew quarters.
“The Pershing GTX80 represents everything our Hamptons clients are looking for—uncompromising performance, innovative design, and that unmistakable Italian flair,” says Tom Knutson, Allied Marine Broker. “When you experience those three 1,350 horsepower engines and feel how this yacht connects you to the water through features like the convertible stern terraces, you understand why Pershing is setting the standard for luxury performance yachting. That’s why we’re bringing her directly to Montauk—so boaters can experience this level of excellence firsthand.”
In July, Allied Marine is taking the GTX80 experience to the Montauk Yacht Club. Every Friday and Saturday from 4 to 6 pm an Allied Marine Representative will be on hand to showcase this groundbreaking new Pershing. Limited private appointments are also available for those seeking a more personalized experience, please contact Thomas Knutson – to schedule a private viewing.
Set on Montauk’s Star Island, this luxury seaside resort offers stunning waterfront views and endless opportunities for waterfront adventure, making it an ideal destination for active and leisure guests alike.
The Montauk location provides the perfect backdrop to experience the GTX80’s capabilities, allowing potential owners to truly appreciate the yacht’s innovative design and performance in the natural beauty of Montauk’s surrounding waters.
Both the Riva 68’ Diable and Pershing GTX80 are more than just luxury yachts – they embody a philosophy of Italian excellence that combines artistic vision with engineering precision. These yachts reflect a trend toward more sophisticated boating experiences, offering advanced technology, superior comfort, and unmistakable style.

The Pershing delivers pure adrenaline with innovative design solutions that push the boundaries of what’s possible in yacht design. These vessels offer a barefoot luxury lifestyle and showcase waterfront beauty, consistently delivering experiences that have exceeded expectations for discerning owners.

Beacon in Sag Harbor provides an elegant dining experience perfect for Riva 68’ Diable owners, while Navy Beach in Montauk offers the ideal setting to complement your GTX80 experience during the July weekend showcases.
