Ferretti present the 800, a pocket super yacht which completes the circle of the range renewal which started in 2018 with the 670 model. Now Ferretti Yachts has all its models from its entry level 500 to the 1000 all designed by Filippo Salvetti. A replacement of the 780 the 800 project was presented during Boot Düsseldorf and is under construction at Ferretti Cattolica shipyard, a result of collaboration between Filippo Salvetti exterior design, Ideaeitalia for interior, and the Product Strategy Committee led by Piero Ferrari and the Ferretti Group Engineering Department. The 600 will have a length overall of just over 24 meters, a version with a shorter stern platform is also available to comply with the 24-metre limit established by French law and a maximum beam of just under six meters. Ferretti Yachts 800 is designed to offer the owner peerless comfort and a superior on-board lifestyle for a yacht this size, thanks to optimised spaces and meticulous layout planning. The most innovative features include large windows for uninterrupted views of the surroundings from the interiors and an optional sliding door on the starboard side of the salon; perfectly separated spaces to ensure total privacy; and optimisation of the exterior surfaces and particularly the flybridge which is now forty squared meters in size, further enriching the on-board experience. Turning to the exterior design, Ferretti Yachts 800 combines a modern aesthetic with the brand’s signature identity, and follows the lines as introduced with the 860, and now to be followed in the upcoming 940. The new design has a bold personality that projects the Ferretti Yachts range into the future, combining a sporty design with sophisticated detailing. One of the characteristic features of this model is in fact the gradual slope of the flybridge’s lines down towards the stern, breaking with the tradition that they are parallel to the hull. The result is a perfect balance between timeless elegance, dynamism and impressive volume. Ideaeitalia focused its efforts on layout-related and architectural choices, aiming to enhance the elegance of the interiors at the same time as ensuring functionality and intelligent design. There was a special focus on the main deck, where an in-depth analysis of movement flows has resulted in an innovative configuration, in which the galley opens onto both the main hallway and the helm station area, with the introduction of a new concept for separating guest and crew flows. The standout elements, unusual for a boat this size, include a day head on the main deck and, in the master cabin, a freestanding dressing table, a vanity area and a particularly generous and comfortable bathroom. In a rapid overview starting on the main deck, the beach area is aft, and also offers a fold-down sofa in the transom. The cockpit has a spectacular glass parapet designed to extend the view outside and towards the beach club, with access to the crew area, which features three separate cabins with entrance from the port side walkway. Continuing through the interiors, the salon is bathed in light thanks to extensive glazing, one of the signature features of the boat, which offers uninterrupted views of the sea and the surrounding area even when sitting on the sofa. The generous interior volumes are further enhanced by the exquisite arrangement of the furniture to maximise liveability and by the two-metre ceiling height. The two interior decor moods available are Classic which taps into earthy elements, and Contemporary, featuring glowing woods and fabrics in fresh hues inspired by the colours of the sea. In perfect Made in Italy style, both are designed to offer owners an elegant, inviting and well-balanced ambiance. Moving past the living space, the dining area contains an elegant table seating eight. At the same time, the fully appointed and separate galley is directly connected to this space through a sliding section in the bulkhead. Separate walkways are another unusual feature of the yacht, allowing the crew to enter the galley from the outdoor area and then access the wheelhouse without interfering with guest flows. It’s also possible to access the helm station from the hallway, which can be closed off completely to ensure maximum privacy. The exterior living area forward features a sunbed and a forward-facing C-shaped sofa designed for comfort. On the lower deck, the sleeping area consists of a master stateroom, a VIP suite forward and two guest cabins, providing a total of eight berths. There are four en suite private bathrooms. The flybridge area is also larger than the category average thanks to the sleek, arched profile of the superstructure. On the starboard side there’s an al fresco dining area and table, with a generous storage compartment under the fibreglass sofa, while on the port side there’s a bar unit with optional stools. The freestanding furnishings such as the chairs and poufs are by Talenti. The helm station forward offers comfortable seating and excellent visibility. Ferretti Yachts 800 is powered by standard Man 1550hp for a speed up to 27 knots, and or optional 1800hp for 31 knots of wide open throttle.
