Ferretti Yacht Partially Sinks in South Corsica

A Ferretti motor yacht of nineteen meters in length partially sank on the late afternoon of August eleven on the East of Piana island. The Ferretti motor yacht was cruising in the South of Corsica between Lavezzi and Cavallo near about to isola Piana when apparently it started taking on water.  The dynamics of the water intrusion are unclear, but seeing this the captain of the yacht called a May-Day and beached the yacht to minimize the damage.  The Ferretti yacht was a day later reported to have been re-floated and taken to a yacht yard for repairs.

The Ferretti in this accident is a 620 as designed by Zuccon and produced from 2000 till 2005.  The 620 was the last evolution of the Ferretti 54/175/60  which in 1990 started the Giovanni Zuccon collaboration which lasted till 2017.  With the 175, 62, and 620 models Ferretti and Zuccon created an iconic sports flybridge motor yacht, thanks to the unique low profile super structure and masculine hull look.  The Ferretti 620 came out as a replacement to the 62 and was replaced by the 630.
