New Model: Mochi 23 Long Range

Mochi 23 Long Range was without a doubt the highest star of the 48th Genoa Boat Show, expected much since last year announcement that Ferretti Group was producing a hybrid yacht. The new flagship of the Mochi range, three decks plus flybridge explorer yacht had to be thanks to a host of two important firsts: the Zero Emissions Mode called ZEM Hybrid Propulsion and the Fer.Wey. Ferretti Wave Efficient Yacht Hull. Another important note for us yacht passionate was in seeing World famous Ferretti Group and designer Zuccon, both renowned mostly for thirty knots performing yachts, challenge the explorer yacht market with a green concept, but also an innovative hull with a top speed of sixteen knots, cruise at thirteen and range of 1500 nautical miles at nine knots. The result shows the 23 Long Range already in the future, to what regards Eco friendliness, being the first to obtain RINA Green Star Clean Energy and Clean Propulsion certification, and also efficient hull dynamics thanks to the Fer.Way hull, which improves the trans planning speeds of 12 knots plus, where displacement and planning shapes start behaving in an abnormal way. Standard interior arrangement of the 75 foot, 23 Long range is a three cabins and double crew berth aft layout. Alternatively an optional four cabin version with fourth bunk cabin is available, plus also the option of an extra captains cabin up top on the third deck, next to the wheel house. Praise has to be given for Ferretti Group, Zuccon International Project and the Mochi brand, who with the 23 Long Range have opened new horizon in yachting technology and design, inventing an Eco friendly motor yacht and reinventing the concept of displacement and semi displacement hull types.
