Ferretti present the new 780 model a flybridge motor yacht of 24 meters with a perfect blend of comfort, style, seaworthiness and safety. The Ferretti 780 is the result of the evolution of Giovanni Zuccon's style with inspiration to his mid eighties aerodynamic looks manifested in sleek lines and clean shapes, accentuated by the choice to resize the height of the hull's topsides, to the benefit of the yacht's overall sporty character accentuated by the streamlined upper structure. The Ferretti 780 is available in few variants; exterior with or without hardtop, and an interior offering three main deck layouts, and two lower deck options. Most of these options are studied to cater for other continent markets, for example the open galley layout on the main deck is studied for the American client, while a large saloon below deck in replacement to the owners stateroom and galley down is studied for the Asian customer. The Ferretti 780 is powered by standard Man 1400hp or optional 1550hp engines these last giving a top speed of 31 knots.

The sea awaited reverentially and eagerly as the new 92-footer by Ferretti Yachts entered the water with the calm might of a nautical giant. The launch of the first Ferretti 920 took place on 20 July at the brand’s private dock, which is just a few waves away from the shipyard in Cattolica. The Ferretti Yachts 920 is a flybridge yacht like no other. It stands out thanks to its monumental, dynamic forms, its innovative design features (such as the wide body concept of the owner’s suite on the main deck), its superb functional flexibility (including the option of switching from a four cabins to a five cabins version), and the vast spaces in its groundbreaking bow area, all of which can be used by guests. The interiors are just as breathtaking, with numerous spacious relaxation areas and sophisticated layouts steeped in original, unprecedented elegance. As always, the new yacht was produced in partnership by Zuccon International Project, the Ferretti Group’s Engineering Department and the Product Strategy Committee. This new Ferretti super yacht will make its official debut at the Ferretti Group Private Preview in Monte Carlo in September, before its international public premiere at Cannes Yachting Festival in the same month. In the shipyard, work has already begun on the next units, which will be launched in the coming months: the second Ferretti Yachts 920 will be transported to the United States, where it will be unveiled in style at Yachts Miami Beach in February 2018, while the third vessel which features the famous Tai He Ban layout designed by Ferretti Yachts for Far East markets and owners will also make its first appearance next year in Asia.

Ferretti present the project for a new 920 what will be a second in size model behind the 960. Designed as all Ferretti since the early nineties by Zuccon, the 920 follows the semi wide body layout making full use of beam from fore to midships. It is the first time we see the semi wide body used on a Ferretti Yacht outside of the larger Custom Line sphere, a type of layout used to maximize space on the main deck. The Ferretti 920 offers two options for this area; owners stateroom or large dining area making the aft of the main deck in this last option being dedicated fully for a larger saloon. Below is also three options that of three or four cabins. Crew accommodation is for six persons in three cabins. Power options are from MTU and start from standard twin 1948hp, and go up to optional 2217hp and 2435hp units. Speeds are 26 knots max with the standard units and go up to 30 knots from the large optional engines.
The new 28 to 29 meter Raised Pilot House Super Yacht was created by Sanlorenzo in 2011, when it replaced the long standing good selling SL88 with the SL94. Just as the 88, the SL94 was also a raised pilot house yacht, but had an important different layout which the previous model did not offer, for a main deck with fore ship owners stateroom. The SL94 had also the advantage which similar type and size yachts above 28 meter did not have in 2011, and that was a hull size or load line length 23.9 meters or under. Meaning it can be helmed by owners or captains with a standard yacht master licence. This gave the SL94 two features unheard in this size; owners room on the main deck which used to be found in yachts a couple meters bigger, and a hull size which legally classifies as a smaller yacht.
PRESENT
The Sanlorenzo SL94 was an important change and other builders reacted to this. In the fall of 2012 Ferretti presented the project for the 960, a new flagship for the Yachts range launching in the first half of 2013. Amer came following in 2013 with the semi wide body Cento measuring just above 29 meters. Always in high attention Azimut followed with the new Grande 95RPH which launched in early 2014. Seeing all this competition in 2014 Sanlorenzo tweaked its SL94, and developed it into the SL96 with some important modernization details, see large sized cabin windows below, and opening optional balconies on the main deck. The last to join the pack is the British Sunseeker who in 2015 presented the project for its new raised pilot house 95 Yacht which the Poole based builder launched in the second quarter of 2016.
Upcoming is the Summer 2016 presented project by Canados with the 969 Coliseum, set to launch in 2017. The Canados will be an interesting challenge to all builders listed here, with Sanlorenzo being the traditional competitor, as both builders are a representation of hand build made in Italy semi-custom yachts since the 1970's. FUTURE
It is a growing new class with some important super yacht builders creating an interesting choice to buyers looking for a raised pilot house pocket super yacht of 28 to 29 meters overall with a hull or load line length less to 23.9 meters and an owners stateroom on the main deck. Who is next in this class is all speculative, but expect something to come from Montecarlo Yachts, Princess, and Fipa Maiora. I would say the next new challenge in this size coming from Montecarlo Yachts who would not surprise me to have something ready for 2017 as the company has an empty spot between its large 105 and 86 models.

Ferretti and designer Zuccon seem to have find a new forward road for them with the latest project coming from the North Italian side of the Adriatic sea builder being of interesting technical content. The project of the new Ferretti 780 stands at the limit of what is considered motor yacht and will offer interesting accommodation solutions. One of the Ferretti 780 most interesting details will be its semi raised pilot house, three steps up from the saloon offering a better all around visibility to the helmsman. The Ferretti 780 will also offer a fore-deck forward looking settee, something the builder has taken time to embrace. Current options on the standard spec of the 780 will be open as above or hard top flybridge, and enclosed galley or optional open style.
With the new 450, Ferretti is marking a return to building a sub fifty feet entry level flybridge motor cruiser and possibly trying to follow the success of the 2004 till 2008 produced 460, which is its best sold model to date. As is usual from Ferretti, the 450 is a top level model in its segment with the usual low profile flybridge design associated with the brand. The 450 is offered in a two or three cabin layout. The third bunk twin berth of the three cabins layout eats space from the VIP forward room, which loses its beauty desk to starboard and will feature a smaller shower head to port. Power options are twin Cummins 425hp or optional 480hp units.

Ferretti Yachts is getting ready for the top boat shows in 2016, scheduling an important launch, confirming the dynamic mood and feeling of vitality that is flourishing at the company at the moment. The very first Ferretti Yachts 850 was launched last Monday in Cattolica. The new flybridge pocket size super yacht is 26 meters long and is the epitome of how the largest yachts in the fleet have evolved, currently consisting of ten models ranging from 13 to 28 meters. The Ferretti Yachts 850 is an icon of luxury, offering the unique experience of life in a magnificent maxi loft surrounded by the sea, and it’s just the latest extraordinary masterpiece in the history of a brand that goes back almost fifty years and has won the approval of the main international markets. So, it is no surprise that three of the new yachts have already been sold, two in Europe and one in the Americas: proof that it is already an unmitigated success. The Ferretti Yachts 850 is being built at the Cattolica shipyard and is the result of the joint efforts by Ferretti Group’s Product Strategy Committee, Studio Zuccon International Project for the design of the exteriors and the layout of the interiors and the Group’s Engineering Department, which handled the engineering and naval architecture and the interior design. Its official presentation is scheduled for the beginning of September during Ferretti Group’s Private Preview in Monte Carlo, before becoming one of the main attractions at the Cannes Yachting Festival in early September and the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, to be held in Florida at the beginning of November.

For 2016 Ferretti is surely raising the bar for new models presented. Designed by Zuccon the 850 project is Ferretti reply to owners looking for a larger pocket sized super yacht with waterline registration length under 24 meters and an overall of 26. The 850 is a model which is an evolution in terms of hull of the current 800 with increased waterline length. For this model Zuccon also gives homage to one of his popular old school designs with main deck window profile taking a lot from the classic mid late eighties built Posillipo 52 Technema. The Ferretti 850 will be available with hard top, as pictured above or without. Accommodation plan offers a lower deck of four double guest cabin with two VIP suites, and a crew cabin area located to fore sleeping three persons. The main deck is available with two options, which mostly change the galley and day head location without effecting the saloon and dining area size, this taking two-thirds area of the cabin. Power options will come from standard Man 1800hp or optional 1900hp units. Launch date is expected for late coming Summer, with World presentation for Cannes boat show 2016.
Ferretti Group's 2016 will be a year of important novelty and expansion. This can be easily noticed since it's headline Ferretti yacht brand has already announced two important upcoming projects. One project which will be of great importance is the 450, a completely new upcoming entry level model for Ferretti. It's been a while since Ferretti build a sub fifty feet model, and the waiting for customers is now over. Designed by Zuccon the 450 follows design stints as seen on the well received 550, and in my opinion will also be quite a handful for the major competitors. The 450 indeed will feature a full beam midships owners cabin, and a choice of a standard three double cabin layout; third bunk cabin, or optional two large staterooms arrangement. The 450 will also feature a very interesting main deck, with an L-shape astern galley serving both aft or internal saloon easily. Flybridge will be usual Ferretti layout of a back located forward facing C-shaped dinette, helm to port, and sun-pad to starboard. Some details which we have seen on new Ferretti will also be happily featured in the 450, see sliding up down bathing platform, while good to the see that part of the brand DNA as the importance of maximizing waterline length has not been forgotten. The 450 will come with twin Cummins 425hp or optional 480hp units. Speed will be a max of 31 knots with the large engine option.
By surprise at the 2015 Cannes boat show, Ferretti presented a new 700 model. An evolution and replacement of the 2012 launched 690, the 700 brings design details from the 550; see side hull windows, and wrap around main deck glass. Another important change will be the galley location in the middle of the saloon. In the 690 the galley was located astern, a Ferretti innovative feature in this type of motor yacht when in 2005 the 630 model was presented with this layout and since then evolved in other smaller Ferretti's and copied my many other builders. Designed as usual by Zuccon the 700 is a Ferretti quintessential flybridge motor yacht, with a low profile main deck making it look less bulky to most of the offering from the competition. Her layout will offer two lower deck options; three double cabins or a four cabins choice. In both layouts the owner stateroom stays at midships; with the three cabin version offering a second VIP room in between owners and forward cabin. Power comes from MAN 1000hp or larger optional 1200hp units.

Ferretti has launched the first 550, the new model of the well-known brand, marking its return to the flybridge yachts production under 60 feet in length. When the first 55 feet hull was set afloat at the Cesenatico quay, powerful feelings of pride stirred up in all Ferretti’s personnel of the shipyard in Forlì, where the yacht was built. Interior and exterior fit-out, as well as all technical testing - i.e. certification test approval by RINA performance tests, checking of all on-board equipment and systems - will be completed within the next few weeks. Although just set afloat, the new 55-footer by Ferretti Yachts already enjoys a commercial success: three units have already been sold way ahead of its official world premier at Cannes 2015 show, slated in Côte d’Azur coming September. This is yet another proof that Ferretti Yachts 550 has already captured the international yachting market. While the first yacht is just about to be delivered to her French Owner, the second Ferretti Yachts 550 has been sold in the Principality of Monaco. A third unit was bought by a Dutch Owner.

Displacement - 24,860 kg unloaded, 29960 kg loaded
About a decade ago this was a very important size for Ferretti, with its models between the fifteen and eighteen meter bracket always selling over fifty units. Its still current best seller the 53 and 530 produced from 1997 till 2007 came indeed in this size. The 550 is a project designed by the usual Ferretti team of Zuccon together with there Advanced Yacht Technology studios of engineers, and by the looks of things sets important goals. Offering important latest features; fore settee, up down bathing platform, astern galley plus the usual Ferretti traits of feeling bigger the 550 is definitely on top of its game in this size. Its lower deck accommodation will be offered in two options; three cabins three head plan, or a two head with the forward VIP cabin taking the room from the second head. A crew cabin with one berth is to be located aft. Power will be twin Cat engines of 715hp with top speed estimates of 30 knots, and fast cruise of 26 knots. Range is 300 nautical miles at fast cruise.
The marina of the well-known town on the Adriatic coast, in the province of Forlì-Cesena, was the venue on July 18 for the launch of hull one of the Ferretti 650, the new yacht of Ferretti Group’s historical mother brand, which marks the continued renovation of the Yachts line below seventy feet in length. The technical launch of a yacht is always a very important achievement for all Group employees, who over the last few months have been involved in the building of this model at Forlì production plant, where the next two hulls of the new 65-footer are also currently under construction. The new boat will officially make its debut in front of the international public during the next edition of the Cannes boats show, which as usual will be held in early September. It will then be presented as an Italian premiere at Genoa Boat Show. The Ferretti Yachts 650 is yet another magnificent result of the cooperation between Ferretti Group’s Product Strategy Committee, the Group’s Marketing Department, Advanced Yachts Technology and Design and Studio Zuccon International Project. Over the next few weeks, all required technical operations from RINA the Italian Register of Shipping, inspections and testing to sea trials, all the way to the verification of onboard systems and equipment and the completion of the interior outfitting will be carried out to complete Ferretti Yachts 650’s preparation for its official debut at the various boat shows. The great interest raised by the 650 at an international level is confirmed by the success this project has already received, just a few months after its project presentation: indeed, the first hull was sold to a Chinese owner even before it was launched, a fact that bears witness to the increasing interest the brand is attracting on the leading market of the Asia-Pacific region. The second hull, in turn, will go to an Owner from Lebanon, a country in the Middle East that has always been strategic for the Italian brand. The third 65-footer which is to be the first in the flybridge version with hard top will reach the United States in 2015.

The first hull of Ferretti 750 was launched at the Group marina of Cattolica, in Italy. This model represents another step forward in the development of the Ferretti Yacht range over 70 feet. The world premiere of this yacht will take place at the coming edition of the Cannes boat show, and then will be put on display in Genoa a month later. This model was entirely built at the Ferretti Group shipyard in Cattolica. Ferretti 750, features an 22 meters plus overall length and a full beam one foot short of six meters. This model as it is noticeable to the brand fans is the evolution of the successful 720, and features many relevant innovations, both inside and outside, which provide it a brand new look and style on board. my favourite is defiantly the radar arch which takes a similar look from the new 690. The 720 is a result from the settled twenty years plus collaboration between Studio Zuccon International Project, and the Ferretti Groups Advanced Yacht Technology and Design, the companies team of engineers, architects, and designers. Ferretti 750 immediately strikes the attention for its outer profile, which is even sleeker and sportier, thanks to the new flybridge with an elongated tail with the new SAT domes recessed lodging, providing to minimize the aesthetic effect of the domes on the profile. The model will be presented in its standard version, without hard top; upon request, it can be equipped with a large bimini top, approximately 5 meter long. The flybridge is even more spacious, since it is davit-free. The sunbathing area of Ferretti 750 is available in other two versions, fitted with roll bar and built-in bimini top, or with hard top and awning. Three different solutions highlighting the great versatility of this model. The sun pad beyond the helm station was enlarged, for a higher comfort of the guests on board. The second innovation on Ferretti 750 is the outer stern area. The distinguishing feature is the electrohydraulic swim platform, which is more than 1.5 meter long. It can be lowered 50 cm underwater, making the launching of the tender easier. The swim platform can lift up to 450 kg and it can host a tender up to approximately four meters long. A large storage cabinet with tilting door has been installed at the swim platform level, in which water and diving equipment can be stored. Built-in stairs have been fitted starboard at the stern, in order to guarantee an easier access to the swim platform; while portside a built-in seat allows comfortably getting ready to dive. As for interiors, Ferretti 750 feature many new decorating details and many different layout options, designed to cope with the specific needs of the different international markets where the Group is present. On the main deck, for example, there are two different versions available: in the first one, the galley, the helm station, and the dinette are separated from the salon and the living area by a sliding door. The second version features a country-style galley, open to the bow and to the stern. This last solution makes the main deck a wide open space, which is particularly suitable for the American, and Anglo-Saxon market. As for the lower deck, many different solutions have been studied, with the possibility to create dedicated areas for business of for entertainment, more suitable for new Eastern market owners. Ferretti 750 will be available with two different engines: two 1381hp MTU, or as optional version the larger 1524 units again from the renowned engine maker. As for performance, with the standard engines the top speed is 30 knots, with a cruising speed of 27, while with the optional choice adds maximum up to 32 and cruising speed also by two nautical miles per hour.

In the past days Ferretti Group’s Cattolica shipyard and the northern Adriatic coast town’s dock hosted the launch of the first hull of the Ferretti 960. The launching ceremony was a highly exciting moment for all residents and, particularly, for the numerous Ferretti Group employees that worked on the design and construction of this new Ferretti Yachts’s flagship for months. This new model marks yet another step forward for the Group’s historical brand, which adds a highly prestigious new yacht to its already wide range: this is indeed the largest planing yacht built by the Italian brand in its forty years plus of history. Over the next weeks all technical activities RINA tests, sea trials, system and equipment tests, will be performed and onboard fitting-out operations will be completed. Ferretti 960 is characterised by an optimised interior and exterior layout. It is Ferretti Yachts’s first planing recreational craft featuring the master cabin forward on the main deck, and as many as four guest cabins, all equally sized and with equivalent furnishings and fittings, located on the lower deck and brightened by large open view windows in the hull. The layout also includes three crew cabins with reserved access from the galley, a solution normally found on larger yachts. The external profile sets a new trend in the design of large planing hulls: the glazing running along the entire main deck “cuts” the hull from stern to the extreme bow, contributing to a much lighter profile that ensures incredible interior brightness and endows the yacht with a very sporty look. As regards performances, the new flagship comes in three different sets of MTU engines. The standard version has two 2218hp engines allowing it to reach a maximum speed of 27 knots and a cruising speed of 24 knots. Two optional solutions include twin 2435, or 2638hp engines, respectively. The maximum speed with the more powerful version is 31 knots and cruise at 27 knots. Such an outstanding propulsion, as usual, goes hand in hand with the maximum comfort ensured by the Mitsubishi Anti Rolling Gyro system, capable of reducing rolling by over 50%. Technical Data:

Ferretti presents a new flagship for its Yachts line the 960, which will also mark the largest yacht ever built in the Cattolica establishment. The Ferretti 960 shows clever measures thanks to an over-all length of 95 feet and still being under 24 meters in the water line, allowing helm duties to be made without the need of a professional captain license. Designed by the usual Zuccon and the Ferretti design and engineering studios, the 960 is characterized by two and half decks raised pilot house profile, and the known Italian brand says all the latest novelties in ergonomics as shown in the recent 720, 830, and 690 models are to be featured. The accommodation plan is for four double VIP cabins below, and an owners stateroom in the forward part of the main deck. One of the innovations of the 960 will seem to be the space for an extra large tender, and a sundeck area on the aft bathing platform. Speed estimates are for a max of 31 knots with the large MTU 2683hp engines pushing this 99 ton super yacht. Alternative smaller MTU 2435hp give a max of 2 knots less, and a cruise of 25.
Ferretti 690 has been launched between the evening of last Tuesday,
24 and the morning of Wednesday 25 July at the dock of
Cesenatico, Italy. Another step forward for the fleet of Ferretti Yachts, which
now features a brand new model in the seventy feet range. In these weeks all
the necessary technical operations will be carried out on the yacht; tests by
RINA, sea trials of the prototype, system and unit testing and the internal
fitting will be completed. Ferretti 690, which will be presented as a world premiere at the Cannes boat
show in September, and will also be on display
at the Genoa boat show, is the result of the long time collaboration between
Studio Zuccon International Project, and Ferretti Advanced Yacht
Technology, the research and design centre of the Group, along
the expert team of architects and designers of the Centro Stile. This yacht has an overall length of 21.07 meters and a 5
meter beam. It was entirely produced at the production plant of the Group in
Forlì, Italy. Ferretti 690 is characterized by the new design of outer
lines, which are now sportier, with a sleeker and more dynamic profile. The
wider glazing makes exteriors lighter and provides an amazing quantity of
natural light to interior spaces. The interiors are spacious and wisely
organized, in order to exploit living areas at their best. Volumes are notably
enlarged by the natural light coming in from the wide windows on the main deck
and from the large glazing under deck. The flybridge is the result of an
extensive study carried out by the Ferretti Group for indoor and outdoor layout
optimization. This area has been has been entirely redesigned so as to ensure
all guests the utmost comfort. A choice of three or four double cabins is available, with a crew quarters located to midships behind the owners stateroom. As for performance, the new Ferretti 690 can reach a maximum speed of 31.5
knots with twin MTU
1224hp engines.

The
Marina di Cattolica served as the charming background for a new launch for Ferretti on Tuesday 5 June, that of the 870, the latest born in this renowned motor and super yacht fleet. This important,
enthralling event was the climax hard working months: from
engineering to design, to the manufacturing stage, and the greatest care
devoted to the tiniest finishing details. Over the next few weeks and until the
end of June, the new model will undergo all necessary technical checks; RINA
tests, prototype sea trials, the verification of systems and appliances and
on board furnishings will be completed. The 870 hull one will then be officially
delivered to its European owner. Like
all other yachts in the range, the Ferretti 870 will be presented as a
world premiere at Cannes Boat Show from 11 to 16
September 2012. This new model continues the two decades close cooperation between Studio Zuccon, Ferretti's AYT, and the Centro Stile of the group. This craft has been
entirely built in the Group’s Cattolica production unit. With its considerable
size; an overall length of 26.5
metres, a 6 metre-beam, and a full load displacement of
80 tons, the Ferretti 870 model further extends and renovates Ferretti
Yachts super yachts fleet which features five models, if one excludes the Custom Line range. While preserving some features of its predecessor the 830, the
new Ferretti 870 is characterised by a series of innovative solutions already
widely appreciated on the brands most recent models: the bronze dome over the
navigation bridge, also found on the 800, further highlights the crafts
sporty look, while the large glazing on the main deck results in very slender
lines and extremely bright interiors. In the hull, the two large open-view
windows at the height of the master stateroom have now been joined by the
opening portholes of the guest cabins and by the double window of the forward
VIP cabin. Extensive, spacious areas go hand in hand with great performances on this
yacht: during the first medium load trial carried out by the prototype testing
team, the Ferretti 870 reached a maximum speed of 32 knots, driven by the two
MTU 1948hp engines; such an impressive propulsion, though,
perfectly blends with the utmost comfort ensured by the Mitsubishi Anti Rolling
Gyro system, which reduces rolling by more than 50%.

Ferretti presents the 870 project, a model which is set to be launched coming Spring 2012 and will replaces the 830. Designed again by long time since 1990 Ferretti collaborator architect Giovanni Zuccon and the Italian Group Advanced Yacht Technology department the 870 follows a lot of the new looks present by the 2010 launched 800. The exterior line in fact can make you think for this model to be a two and half deck, which on actual facts it is not. The 870 will offer a four cabin lower deck layout with a full beam owners stateroom, two VIP suites, and a fourth guest cabin. A crew cabin sleeping from three to four persons is located aft. The main deck continues Ferretti pure Italian layout of a dining entertainment relaxing lounging area, separate galley, day head, and a door divided pilot house to fore. The aft deck surprises for its wet bar located to port side. Power will be from twin MTU 1948hp which give an estimated project top speed of 30 knots to this seventy plus tons motor yacht.
