Ducati joins SACS Marine and Pirelli on the water

SACS Marine has brought Ducati into its long-running Pirelli partnership, adding a new model to the Pirelli Speedboats range that carries Ducati livery. SACS Marine, which describes itself as a global leader in the maxi-RIB segment, holds the licence for the Pirelli brand for speedboats, and this is the first time the Ducati brand has been part of the range. The company announced the collaboration ahead of the 2026 Cannes Yachting Festival, where the partnership and the new boat was unveiled as a world première.

What is the new Ducati-inspired Pirelli Speedboats model?

SACS Marine and Pirelli have worked together for more than 20 years on a licensing project that, according to SACS Marine, has redefined the maxi-RIB by combining performance, safety and style. Ducati now joins as the third partner. The new model wears a livery inspired by one of the best-known motorcycles in the history of the Borgo Panigale brand and has new, exclusive features. They say its lines, colours and details are intended to reflect the sporty character and racing spirit associated with Ducati, taking a look previously seen only on the road and track out onto the water.

Why have Ducati, Pirelli and SACS Marine teamed up?

SACS Marine says the three companies share the same core values: the pursuit of excellence, attention to detail, technical innovation and a commitment to the “Made in Italy” tradition. SACS Marine presents the project as a celebration of Italian industry, bringing together three firms that each lead in their own sector.

Performance is a language that Ducati, Pirelli and SACS Marine speak every day, each in their own world. The products may change, but the approach stays the same: the ongoing pursuit of excellence, the desire to push beyond limits, and an uncompromising focus on each and every detail. This is the shared vision that made it feel like a natural step to embark on this journey together.

For over twenty years, our collaboration with SACS Marine has given us the opportunity to showcase Pirelli’s signature values in the boating world: innovation, sportiness and attention to detail. The fact that Ducati has now joined the project marks a new stage in this journey and strengthens our all-Italian initiative, in which different skills join forces to create a unique product.

Who is the Ducati Pirelli Speedboats model aimed at?

The vision that drives us puts the owner at the heart of every decision we make, and the origins of this project start right here: from the outset, the sporty character of Pirelli Speedboats has appealed to owners seeking a product with unique DNA, one that expresses Pirelli’s values in an eye-catching walkaround that is instantly recognisable. By bringing Ducati into the equation, we have taken several aspects of the project to an even higher level, experimenting with new ideas and solutions and mindful of enthusiasts seeking drive, performance and world-class design. These are the people we had in mind: lovers of detail and uniqueness; enthusiasts of engines, speed and freedom.
