Ferretti Yachts 860 Review (2022 Edition)

The Ferretti 860 replaces the 850 and comes to the market bristling with fresh design touches and 30-knot performance.

Ferretti Yachts 860 Review (2022 Edition) image 1

The all-new Ferretti 860 slots into the range between 780 and 920 and in replacing the 850 it has the tough task of taking the reins from one of the most popular models in the Ferretti range.

Given the number that had found owners even before we caught up with it at the 2022 Cannes Boat Show, it would seem that the design team has got the formula right. The headlines are that the 860 has four ensuite cabins and space for four crew, a tender garage large enough for both a tender and a jet-ski and with twin 2,000hp MAN V12s it will crack 30 knots. Read on to see what it's like on board and from behind the helm.

Performance & Handling

Whichever of the two MAN V12 engine options you opt for, the 860 will not be lacking in power. Most will forgo the 1,800hp versions and go for the 2,000s that were fitted to our test boat, which are good for a top speed of around 32 knots and a fast cruising speed of anywhere between 22 and 27 knots. With the 1,800s expect to top out at 28 knots and cruise at 24. 

Ferretti actually quotes the fast cruising speed as 27 knots and a range of 290nm and, though we weren't able to get a full set of our own figures due to the constraints of testing during a boat show, these numbers did tally up with what we saw on the test. The top speed was just shy of the 32 knots Ferretti quotes but that's understandable given there were about eight other journalists on board plus the boat's crew.

You won't find Ferretti underpowering its boats and much like Sunseeker and Princess, the boats are designed to comfortably top 30 knots, not just reach that speed. Considering the size of this boat the feeling of power and urgency as the throttles surge forward is absolutely remarkable. 

Ferretti 860 running

The 860 is fitted with Xenta's fly-by-wire steering system, which returns the rudders to the centre automatically. This feels much like the power steering system in a car and it takes a little getting used to on an 80-tonne flybridge cruiser but once acclimatised it makes the boat feel amazingly responsive and agile for such a large machine. It's not artificially light like IPS, either, so there is a nice weightiness and an appropriate amount of resistance when you swing the hefty metal steering wheel through your hands. 

Future Proof

The boat we tested didn't have it but there is a Xenta joystick available which offers a suite of features to make controlling the boat easier at slow speeds. It will combine the props and the proportional bow and stern thrusters to give 'push and twist' control of the boat and, much like Mercury's Skyhook or Volvo's Dynamic Positioning System, it will hold the boat in place using GPS. The X-AID (Adaptive Integrated Docking) system accounts for wind and tidal effects when coming into a berth and automatically holds the boat in place when the joystick is released. Xenta has even developed an autonomous berthing system dubbed X-SELF, which will move the boat in and out of its berth without human intervention and will be available on the 860. It's a technological tour de force from the helm station(s) but at its core, the 860 has the powerful, solid feeling through the water that is expected from Ferretti Yachts.

The Bay of Cannes didn't dish up much in the way of challenges for the 860's hull but it feels incredibly planted and shouldered away any wash we did encounter without batting an eyelid. There is a reassuring depth of engineering throughout the 860 and that solidity makes itself felt out on the water. With its RCD Category A rating (the highest in the EU) the 860 is certified to tackle waves up 4m (13ft) so it should look after you if the swell kicks up. 

Design & Build

Ferretti 860 tender garage

Ferretti's design language evolves at a leisurely pace so don't expect anything radical here. These are boats that age well and have a certain timelessness, even if they maybe aren't the most exciting to look at. But compare the 860 to the 850 that it replaces and you'll see some key changes, such as the orientation of the cockpit furniture, the transparent transom and the significant increase in the amount of glass in the superstructure with open gunwales ensuring views out from the main salon isn't compromised. It's evolution, not a revolution, which is a terrible cliché but it's appropriate here. 

Solid Foundations

Ferretti has a reputation for quality construction and engineering and though it's difficult to assess that off the back of a quick sea trial during a boat show the 860 certainly feels like a high-quality machine from the gloss and thickness of its mouldings, to its study mooring gear and the finish inside the engine room. You can tell quite a lot by the way an engine room is put together and on top of the finish that is as neat as they come, there are some thoughtful touches that will make the day-to-day running of the boat a bit easier. Things like having fresh water wash down inside the space in case there is a spillage and a light on a reel that can reach and hang in all corners of the engine room so you don't have to rely on the light of an iPhone torch when working in the darker reaches. 

Interior Accommodation

Ferretti 860 saloon

The main salon is 27 square metres but it feels larger than that thanks to the vast floor-to-ceiling windows, which fire natural light into the space and deliver wonderful views. The open gunwales bolster the effect and create an unbroken vista out over the water when seated. This area feels more open and relaxed than the 850 thanks to its stylish art deco free-standing furniture and a more contemporary palette that includes two "moods", Classic and Contemporary. The former is a combination of darker woods and warmer colours, the latter more pale, modern and monochrome. Ferretti speaks of a "just like home" concept and the Classic palette of our test boat certainly had a warm and inviting feel. 

There are a couple of layout tweaks on offer but the basic layout, with the lounge aft, opposite a simply enormous 75in TV, and dining table forward is fixed. There is the option to have a longer dining table rather than the sqaurer, more informal one on our test boat and the galley can either be left open to the saloon or partitioned off, which is particularly useful if the boat has crew. There are also double sliding doors on the starboard side behind the table, so the salon can be opened up to the elements if guests are dining inside and there is another access point in and out of the main deck. The galley is nicely specified with a domestic fridge/freezer, a Siemens induction hob and an oven and plenty of storage dotted around the place. 

Opposite the galley is a day head with a toilet and sink, sensibly located close to the side access door so that guests can easily pop in from the deck space and use the facilities. 

Ferretti 860 VIP cabin

Access to the cabins is via a helical staircase opposite the dining table; the forward companionway by the lower helm leads down to the crew accommodation.

Guests are catered for across three cabins: a VIP forward on the starboard side, another double ensuite aft of that and a twin ensuite on the opposite side of the deck. The layout of these cabins is interesting. Because the crew accommodation occupies the forward portion of the deck, the VIP ensuite is located further aft with its bed running across the boat and the bathroom opposite on the port side. It's an irregular layout but it works well and doesn't suffer from the challenging shaping of the space that can come with having the cabin tucked into the point of the bow. The other benefit of this location is that if the boat is on anchor or tied to a buoy overnight, you won't hear the slap of water against the hull that you might get if the cabin is right at the forward end of the deck.

The other guest cabins are spacious and well-endowed with storage plus every cabin being served by its own ensuite means that privacy is excellent. 

The owner's cabin is another area where the design has been improved over the 850, specifically the position of the ensuite. On the 850 it was tucked in the corner of the cabin but the 860's runs behind the bed, sharing the full beam of the cabin with a walk-in wardrobe that is accessed on the starboard side of the bed. Not only does this deliver a far more spacious bathroom but it acts as a sound barrier between the cabin and the 4,000hp churning away on the other side of the aft bulkhead. As an option, this cabin can be specified as a cinema room with no bed at all so in this layout the VIP would become the master with two further guest cabins. 

The rest of the cabin is as spacious and luxurious as you would expect of an 85ft yacht and it is effortlessly stylish. I particularly like the TV that is cleverly integrated within the mirror on the forward bulkhead. 

Helm Station

Ferretti 860 lower helm

Both helms suffer the same fate of being stylish and great to look at but a little compromised when it comes to ergonomics. The dashboard at the lower helm is an imposing structure topped by triple Simrad MFDs that display everything from charting software to boat system information, radar and even the boat's instruction manual. The screens are a fair old stretch from the twin helm seats, though, and a lot of the instruments on the lower dashboard are mounted flat and are therefore pretty tricky to see when seated. Ferretti has always been a bit of a "you should stand to drive a boat" type of shipyard and the dash certainly works much better if you're standing in front of it using the seats to lean against. 

The other slight issue here is that because the galley is directly behind the helm station and there is no side door at the helm, the aft view isn't great, so you have to rely on the crew to spot boats coming up behind you and to give the all clear when pulling a hard turn to port.

There are no such issues at the upper helm, though the lack of an effective windscreen does make things a little breezy when the boat is in full gallop. That said, the driving position is better and you sit much closer to the helm with the major controls in easier reach. Having two separate helm seats rather than a bench is a plus, too. It's not perfect but it works. 

Ferretti 860 foredeck

The deck spaces on the 860 come together really well and offer three spacious, well-designed living areas. You could have a lot of guests on board this boat and they're going to easily be able to find their own space to relax and soak up the surroundings. 

Most boats in this sector have a decent foredeck lounge but the 860's is a great space with extended loungers positioned at the foot of the windscreen and an opposing U-shaped seating area with a table that has pop-up backrests that make it for more comfortable sunbathing. There are fiddles for loose items and cupholders dotted around the area so this really is the place to be if you're in the business of catching rays.

Despite the open gunwales, the side decks feel safe and well-protected thanks to the overhang above and the sheer height of the bulwarks, which came up to around armpit level on me at 6ft (1.83m) tall.

Ferretti isn't the first brand to orientate the cockpit seating along the boat's centerline rather than across it but it's an effective use of space. This arrangement means that half the party don't have to stare back into the boat and the use of glazing in the aft balustrade maintains the connection with the water in the same way the broken gunwales do so inside the salon. The practical stuff is on show, too, like dedicated slots for two boat hooks built into the base of the sofas. 

Underneath this deck, there is tender a garage large enough to hold a Williams 395 Sportjet and a two-seater jet-ski. It's a flooding garage so the top hatch opens and then the hydraulic platform drops down to flood the space and aids the launch of tenders and toys. 

Flying High

The flybridge feels absolutely vast and part of that is down to the open feel of its aft end. There's no fixed furniture here but the option to fill this space with whatever style of furniture the owner wants. The test boat has a pair of sunloungers, which seemed a sensible enough use of the space. Forward, the imposing hard top offers some shade over the dining table to port and bar opposite. There's a useful split in the dinette table so that guests can get in and out without having to shuffle the entire party off the end of the sofa. The bar is also split between cooking and cooling space and it's a well-specified area that has all the amenities to prep a decent meal on the top deck. 

There are three choices of sunroof for the hard top: fixed glass, slatted metal with panels that pivot like a Venetian blind or a fabric roof that opens all the way back. Our test boat had the glass but I reckon the fabric roof offers the most flexibility.

Value For Money

Ferretti's are towards the higher end of the sector when it comes to cost but there is a price to pay for the obvious quality of finish and engineering that is on show here. The quality of construction is high and the same can be said for components. As has been covered above, Ferretti doesn't underpower its boats and it takes some serious machinery to make something this large do over 30 knots. There's an argument that some may yearn for a more exciting design for this sort of money but you can bet that this is a design that will age gracefully and hold up strongly on the secondhand market. 

Our Options & Pick

We would certainly go for the 2,000hp engines as the cost to upgrade will be a drop in the ocean in the grand scheme of buying this boat. I would also have the Xenta joystick because its suite of clever systems goes so much further than simple joystick control. For the virtual anchor alone it's worth the investment.

There is the option of both gyroscopic and fin stabilisers on the 860. Fins would make the most sense given they work at rest and will likely have a greater effect when the boat is moving. They do add drag, though, and create obstructions beneath the boat that you don't have with a gyro. 

Ferretti will never chuck the baby out with the bath water when they design a new model but the soft evolution of the 850 into the 860 has created a boat that is beautifully balanced and will age with grace. The changes that have been made like the cockpit design, enhanced glass area and reorientation of the master cabin improve life on board and that fabled engineering prowess shines through. Then there's the performance, which is smooth, effortless and rampant for a boat of such dimensions. There is a confidence and solidity to the way a Ferretti powers through the water that is hard to describe but it feels like a yacht that will look after you. It says a lot that despite the odd foible at the helm stations the 860 is still a very rewarding boat to drive. Ferretti has a reputation that means its yachts must live up to a high standard and the 860 most certainly does that. 

Reasons to Buy

  • Timeless design
  • Big tender garage
  • Four double cabins
  • High quality engineering
  • Gutsy performance

Things to Consider

  • The Ferretti name commands a premium
  • The looks are a little bland
  • Helm station design

There are a lot of very good boats in this sector and they carefully tread the line between being run by crew and owner operated. Let's see what the Ferretti 860 is up against. 

The Sanlorenzo SL86 is a seriously high-quality machine and even in a sector where customisation is very much on the agenda, this boat stands out because of just how bespoke it can be for each customer. Short of moving bulkheads, there is an almost endless amount of personalisation on offer, which comes at a cost but will appeal to those who want a boat that feels truly unique. Speaking of uniqueness, there aren't many boats of this size that have an internal staircase to the top deck but the SL86 is one of them and it's a feature that we really like. On the lower deck, there are four cabins with the option to have the third cabin as either a double or a twin and, with the crew space right forward with space for four crew members, there is room aft for a side-loading tender garage - a real superyacht touch. In the engine room, a pair of 1,800hp MTU M96's will propel the SL86 to a top speed of 30 knots and it has a range of 1,150nm at 10 knots. 

The Azimut Grande 26 Metri is the baby of Azimut's Grande line but it is packed with interesting features. Its looks nor the whacky Achile Salvagni interior will suit everyone but this pod drive, 5-cabin near 30-knot cruiser certainly puts a cat amongst the pigeons. It's slightly shorter in length than the Ferretti but it packs in five cabins, including a full-width main deck owner's cabin on the main deck and three doubles and a twin on the lower deck, all of which are ensuite. It's a clever feat of packaging and there is more because Azimut has even found a way of including a tender garage at the aft end of the lower deck and sizeable crew quarters at the forward end. The innovation continues below the waterline where the 26 Metri uses fixed ZF pod drives linked to MAN V12 1,550hp or 1,650hp engines for a top speed of 30 knots. The YachtBuyer test team have sea-trialled this boat and can attest that its performance out on the water is one of its most impressive attributes. Its design is more decisive than the Ferretti's but it's an impressive package. 

The Sirena 88 is another rival that is shorter than the Ferretti but packs an awful lot into its voluminous interior. It also has serious long-distance cruising potential thanks to its semi-displacement Germán Frers hull and a fuel capacity of 11,000 litres as standard or 16,500 litres as an option. The upshot is that with twin MAN V12 1,550hp engines the 88 will top out at 25 knots but cover over 2,000nm at a cruising speed of 9 knots. Like the Azimut above the Sirena has five guest cabins with a main deck master, though this once includes the added luxury of a drop-down balcony. Aft, the tender stows inside a deep garage that, with the tender out of the way, transforms into a beach club with a dinette and lounging area that lead straight out onto the bathing platform. The interior, by Cor D. Rover in the Netherlands, is warm and luxurious and doesn't follow the clean-edged minimalist trend of its Italian rivals. It feels like a bit of old-school luxury and all the better for it. If the intention is to cover lots of miles and live on board for extended periods this is a great option.

The 860 directly replaces the 850 and it's always interesting to see what a new model brings to the market when it replaces an old one. The 860 isn't much bigger than the boat it replaces but it's a great indicator of how far boat design comes in just a few years. There is so much more unbroken glass aboard the 860 so the views out of the main deck and the amount of light allowed in are much improved. The cut-outs in the bulwarks are an obvious design change on the exterior but they also do a great job of maintaining the views out over the water. One key difference is that the owner's cabin's ensuite is no longer tucked in a cramped corner but instead runs behind the bed to both create more space for the bathroom and add another layer of insulation from the engine room, which is just behind the aft bulkhead.

With fierce competition circling from all corners, does the stylish Ferretti 670 have enough of the Italian yard’s magic to keep its challengers at bay?

Like staying in a Hilton or driving a Mercedes Benz there is a certain expectation of what going aboard a Ferretti is going to be like. You imagine a heightened level of engineering, top quality fit-out, tastefully decorated interior spaces and effortless performance. Yes, you might pay a bit more for it but it’s usually pretty obvious where your money is going.

This rings true with Ferretti’s latest 65ft flybridge offering, the 670. This is a fine looking boat, as proportionally sweet as you could hope for a flybridge cruiser of such dimensions; it’s muscular yet elegant and it’s particularly pleasing to see a hardtop that doesn’t dominate the boat’s profile and appear top heavy.

It is unmistakably a Ferretti but it looks bang up to date. The neat, forward-angled (optional) hardtop provides just enough shade on its own for the helm station and dinette but an extending canopy aft boosts the amount of shelter on offer.

ferretti-670-yacht-review-aerial-view

Inside, the tasteful interior is as it should be and, like the outside, it’s contemporary yet practical and resists the temptation to join the trend of having the galley located aft. There’s a fine blend of textures and colours but the look is restrained and classy. It’s cool and inviting but nothing looks too precious to be used. Apart from maybe the glass top of the dinette table, which looks great in brochures and boat shows but is a magnet for fingerprints and grubby marks.

The tall galley units amidships cocoon the lounging area aft. It could feel a little claustrophobic but the designers have cleverly dropped the window line down which, in conjunction with the cut-out bulwarks, means the view out when seated is fantastic.

That said, in comparison to the Sunseeker Manhattan 66, Princess F70 and Galeon 640 , the Ferretti 670 doesn’t use glass as effectively and simply doesn’t feel as spacious or open on the main deck. Though upmarket and nicely put together it feels outshone in this company. It’s comfortable though, especially the lounge with its low-slung opposed seating from which its position aft enjoys a fine connection to the outside spaces and will prove a lovely place to sit for a nightcap with the doors open.

The Galeon 640 Fly has one of the most innovative main decks on the market but does this futuristic flybridge’s

The galley amidships affords two major benefits: it puts the cook (or person preparing drinks) in an elevated position above the socialising space where they can be as involved in the chat as those below. It also puts the kitchen in a handy position adjacent to the dinette.

There’s a full-height fridge/freezer at the forward end, which does significantly hinder the view aft when standing at the helm, but we suspect this is a compromise that most will be happy to make in exchange for the extra chilled storage space.

Cabin fever

Below decks the standard configuration consists of three cabins but there is the option to have four if required. In this instance, the mezzanine bureau in the entrance of the master cabin amidships is sacrificed in place of a pair of bunk beds. Unless you have an eye on charter or desperately need the sleeping space for your own guests, the three-cabin layout on the boat we tested is the one to have.

ferretti-670-yacht-review-Master-cabin

The bureau, which sits raised above the cabin, has fabulous views out thanks to the extended hull window and leaves space on the lower level for a small sofa on one side of the cabin and a low chest of drawers on the other.

This is a cabin that isn’t short of clothes storage, thanks in no small part to the generous walk-in wardrobe, which shares the space aft of the island double bed with a lavish ensuite bathroom. These also help to insulate the master cabin from any engineroom noise, as do the crew cabin, fuel and water tanks.

It’s an achingly stylish cabin with a well judged mix of woods and materials. The striped wood effect is used sparingly but effectively and runs all the way through from sections of the saloon cabinets to the basins and their stands in the plush bathrooms. It’s understated and typically stylish.

ferretti-670-yacht-review-Master-bathroom

All three of the cabins share the same affliction though, which is narrow doorways. The cabins themselves are a good size but the feeling of space is reduced by door frames that those with broad shoulders will have to turn sideways to pass through, which feels a bit peculiar on a boat as big as the Ferretti 670.

There are no such issues when moving around on deck where there is the choice of three good living spaces. The cockpit is reasonably formulaic with a central bench that leaves space either side for steps down to the hi-lo bathing platform. This slides down on runners rather than having a hinged external mechanism dangling in the water.

It’s a tidy solution and, with a 450kg weight limit, can hold an 3.45m tender. There’s a second storage area in the transom for stowing a Seabob directly above the waterline and another purpose-built slot for protecting the foredeck canopy when it’s not in use.

ferretti-670-yacht-review-bathing-platform

The foredeck area is one of the stand out features of the 670. Ferretti’s designers have incorporated a forward-facing bench beneath the windscreen as well as a versatile aft-angled seating area with cantilevering tables that spring up or down depending on whether you want sunpads or a seating space to enjoy drinks and snacks.

The low seating isn’t quite comfortable enough to host a meal but for lounging around with a drink in hand it’s a lovely spot, offering the privacy denied to the cockpit when moored stern-to.

Of course the flybridge offers its own level of lofty privacy, too, and Ferretti claims that it is the most spacious in the class. That may well be the case but the use of space isn’t as smart as some rivals, particularly at the aft end where the Ferretti 670 has been left empty for free-standing furniture. That’s okay to an extent but it can be a pain to store and there’s a risk that it could move about at sea. For me, the fixed table and L-shaped seating on the Azimut 66 is a better use of this space.

ferretti-670-yacht-review-flybridge

Amidships is where you find the substantial wetbar, dinette and stylish pod-like helm station. In typical Ferretti style the fixed helm bench is an awkward stretch from the dashboard so it requires a lunge forward to use the chartplotters and major controls.

The geometry is better at the lower helm where a pair of seats with sliding adjustment and bolster function sit before an imposing slab of flat dashboard. There are still some issues, though, like the fact that the weighty steering wheel is mounted without adjustment on the upright section of the dash but the throttles and Xenta joystick are on top.

The cut-out for the top companionway step is also uncomfortably close to the helm, so it’s all too easy to step down from the helm and accidentally drop down the top step.

The engineers have put a lot of thought into the integration of the optional Xenta joystick system. The technology, which has been around for some time, uses both the props and a proportional 48v bow thruster to give fingertip control via a joystick, but Ferretti has gone a step further.

ferretti-670-yacht-review-Lower-helm

The electro-hydraulic steering system, developed in conjunction with Xenta, can also be controlled at high speeds via the joystick instead of the wheel. Not only that, but by nudging the joystick forward in bursts it acts like cruise control and will increase the revs in small increments all the way up to top speed. It’s inside the marina where the joystick is most useful.

The software even includes its own version of the dynamic positioning system, which allows the skipper to push a button and the boat will hold itself in place within a 2m radius of the starting position using a pair of dedicated GPS receivers. If you’re idling for a bridge, busy fuel quay or simply helping the crew prep the boat for a berth then this tool is priceless.

All of this can be overridden by the pair of throttles, which feed in the power of two 1,200hp MAN V8s to V-drives via a pair of ZF gearboxes that are as smooth as honey. The Ferretti 670 is an effortlessly easy boat to pilot, with mountains of torque from the punchy V8s and the Zipwake system keeping its AI eye on the boat’s trim.

ferretti-670-yacht-review-bow-running-shot

We achieved an easy top speed of 33.1 knots with 40% fuel and water on board but minimal cruising stores and no tender. Thanks to fuel tanks capable of holding just shy of 4,000 litres, even at full speed the Ferretti 670 will cover over 200 miles with a 20% reserve.

It’s quiet, too, peeling through the wind-pricked waters of the Adriatic with only a low thrum alluding to the 2,400 horses working away below the deck. There is the option to have the 1,000hp engines, which are the same block as the 1,200s but detuned to the lower horsepower. Ferretti predicts a top speed of 28 knots with these motors, which will be too sluggish for some, but the saving of nearly €100,000 on the list price is a pretty convincing way of justifying a slower pace of life.

There are occasions where the “electric brain, hydraulic arm” steering system feels a little too clever for its own good, like the self-centring wheel which, on a boat, feels at best a little unnecessary and down right odd at times. That said, it’s one of those things that is hard to get used to during the limited time of a sea trial but will no doubt feel perfectly normal over time.

The focus on driving technology is impressive but there has never been a time when the competition is quite so challenging. There are familiar threats from the usual suspects, such as Sunseeker and Princess, as well as homegrown foes like Azimut and Monte Carlo Yachts. Then there's the value for money on offer from the Prestige 680 and the innovation of Galeon’s 640. The Ferretti 670 doesn’t feel as if it is pushing the boundaries as enthusiastically as some of these rivals but what it does have is an enviable reputation for enduring quality. As a demonstration of coherent and timeless design the Ferretti 670 is right on the money. It has presence and a tangible aura of engineering excellence and reassuring solidity that’s hard to put one’s finger on. It’s the little things, the touches that make day-to-day life on board that much easier, like the rope bins in the cockpit that have sinks built into them so you can wash your hands after handling slimy lines. The wealth of design and engineering knowledge that comes with Ferretti’s boatbuilding legacy shines through more strongly than ever on the 670.

The new Ferretti Yachts 1000 is the largest model the Italian brand has built with a huge interior, big social areas and fast hull

There are defining moments in every brand, and for the Ferretti Group , that came last week with the launch of the Ferretti Yachts 1000. The Italian builder’s new flagship is not only the largest model that brand has ever built, but its design is part of a new revolution taking place in the 90- to 110-foot motoryacht segment.

Its main competitors, Azimut and Princess, have recently launched models in the same range, and both share the Ferretti’s “wide-body” approach, which essentially means packing a third more interior volume into the same length of hull. The Azimut Trideck and Princess X95 are both successful designs, though the profiles are more radical-looking than the Ferretti 1000, which has a more traditional look.

Stefano de Vivo, Ferretti Group’s chief commercial officer told Robb Report during a tour of the 1000 that it was a “crucial” new design. “It will be a template for other models going forward,” he said.  “At the same time, the 1000 is not an urban apartment on the water. It’s modern and minimalist, but definitely marine.”

The design team, including Ferretti’s Filippo Salvetti, who penned the exterior and IdeaeItalia, which created the interior, focused on presenting the brand’s yachting heritage. “We may have gone a little far with earlier models,” says De Vivo, referring to the residential look of other yachts in the line.

While larger interior volumes are in high demand with new boaters, there are challenges. The first is keeping the profile from looking bloated. Salvetti did a good job with that by creating a top deck that looks slender, along with a larger hull body defined by racy, angular dark windows that give the impression of performance.

The second challenge is actually divvying up the unusually large interior volume so it’s proportional to its actual function within the yacht. That extra-large salon might seem like a big benefit, but if it seems like a vast empty space that sacrifices galley size, for instance, then the boat doesn’t function properly.

I didn’t see any evidence of that on the 1000 which has, what the company calls its “new flow concept,” so that individual rooms feel large and spacious and there is a natural movement through the boat uninhibited by unnecessary bulkheads or cramped rooms. The main salon is big, but the design team used floor-to-ceiling windows on the sides and rear, furnishing it elegantly but sparingly. Walnut’s the prevailing wood across the interior, with the designers using subtle, striped patterns for the walls and bold, flame-colored hues for dining table and other furniture. Accents have a special ribbed pattern. There’s a traditional, almost classic coordination of the colors and materials, as opposed to the 1000’s competitors, a bit louder and more experimental in design. “Owners can customize the interiors if they want another look,” Celine Binard, part of the Ferretti design team, said during a tour. The 1000 took three years from the initial drawings to the first hull, tkkkk, which was going to a French owner, who made minimal changes to the classic styling. What struck me most about the 1000 was the level of detail that went into making it work in a simple, straightforward way. Looking through the full-height windows in the main salon, the designers had cut away a portion of the side passage so that instead of seeing the outer wall, it was a clear view of the water. That involved some serious structural engineering to enhance the owner’s view. It also had features like a Garvan audio system, which include hidden speakers embedded into the ceiling for a clearer, more uniform sound, while preserving the minimalist impression of the interior. That was apparent all over the boat, from the 110-square foot galley, which is much larger than on most boats this size, to the spacious main suite forward, with a full-beam ensuite, picture windows on either side of the bed and chair and table that could serve as an office. The cockpit behind the main suite was also conceived to be a comfortable space that is protective but offers clear views of the water. Ditto the lounges, table and sunbeds on the foredeck, which turn what is typically the working end of the yacht into a private social area. My favorite space was the upper deck, with carbon-fiber hardtop with slats forward that offers both sun protection and more sunlight, depending on owner preference; then there’s an al-fresco dining table on port and a large wetbar/outdoor kitchen to the right. At the rear are lounges for socializing. The 600-sq. ft. space is often a nook on similari-sized yachts, but Ferretti (and its competitors) realize how many people prefer comfortable outdoor living, so have made it a main feature. Binard says everything on the 1000 was “measured in millimeters,” which explains why deck sizes and the features within feel big but livable. “Structurally, it was a challenging design because of its size,” she adds. “The engineering was very different than our smaller yachts.” Tkkk has four guest staterooms on the lower deck, and a large beach area at the transom. The beach, combined with the terrace just above, measures a whopping 440 square feet—equivalent to a much larger yacht. What’s also unusual about the 1000 is its 28-knot top speed, thanks to twin 2217-hp MTU diesels. That’s lightning fast for a boat its size. The Ferretti folks declined to say what size model would be coming next, but it’s definitely going to have the look, feel and space of the 1000. Check out more images of the new flagship.

Walnut’s the prevailing wood across the interior, with the designers using subtle, striped patterns for the walls and bold, flame-colored hues for dining table and other furniture. Accents have a special ribbed pattern. There’s a traditional, almost classic coordination of the colors and materials, as opposed to the 1000’s competitors, a bit louder and more experimental in design. “Owners can customize the interiors if they want another look,” Celine Binard, part of the Ferretti design team, said during a tour. The 1000 took three years from the initial drawings to the first hull, tkkkk, which was going to a French owner, who made minimal changes to the classic styling. What struck me most about the 1000 was the level of detail that went into making it work in a simple, straightforward way. Looking through the full-height windows in the main salon, the designers had cut away a portion of the side passage so that instead of seeing the outer wall, it was a clear view of the water. That involved some serious structural engineering to enhance the owner’s view. It also had features like a Garvan audio system, which include hidden speakers embedded into the ceiling for a clearer, more uniform sound, while preserving the minimalist impression of the interior. That was apparent all over the boat, from the 110-square foot galley, which is much larger than on most boats this size, to the spacious main suite forward, with a full-beam ensuite, picture windows on either side of the bed and chair and table that could serve as an office. The cockpit behind the main suite was also conceived to be a comfortable space that is protective but offers clear views of the water. Ditto the lounges, table and sunbeds on the foredeck, which turn what is typically the working end of the yacht into a private social area. My favorite space was the upper deck, with carbon-fiber hardtop with slats forward that offers both sun protection and more sunlight, depending on owner preference; then there’s an al-fresco dining table on port and a large wetbar/outdoor kitchen to the right. At the rear are lounges for socializing. The 600-sq. ft. space is often a nook on similari-sized yachts, but Ferretti (and its competitors) realize how many people prefer comfortable outdoor living, so have made it a main feature. Binard says everything on the 1000 was “measured in millimeters,” which explains why deck sizes and the features within feel big but livable. “Structurally, it was a challenging design because of its size,” she adds. “The engineering was very different than our smaller yachts.” Tkkk has four guest staterooms on the lower deck, and a large beach area at the transom. The beach, combined with the terrace just above, measures a whopping 440 square feet—equivalent to a much larger yacht. What’s also unusual about the 1000 is its 28-knot top speed, thanks to twin 2217-hp MTU diesels. That’s lightning fast for a boat its size. The Ferretti folks declined to say what size model would be coming next, but it’s definitely going to have the look, feel and space of the 1000. Check out more images of the new flagship.

There are defining moments in every brand, and for the Ferretti Group, that came last week with the launch of the Ferretti Yachts 1000. The Italian builder’s new flagship is not only the largest boat it has ever built, but its design is part of a new revolution taking place in the 90- to 110-foot motoryacht segment. Its main competitors, Azimut and Princess, have recently launched models in the range, and both share the Ferretti’s “wide-body” approach, which essentially means packing a third more interior volume into the same length of hull. The Azimut Trideck and Princess X95 are both successful designs, though the profiles are more radical-looking than the Ferretti 1000, which has a more traditional look. Stefano de Vivo, Ferretti Group’s chief commercial officer told Robb Report during a tour of the 1000 that it was a “crucial” new design. “It will be a template for other models going forward,” he said. “At the same time, the 1000 is not an urban apartment on the water. It’s modern and minimalist, but definitely marine.” The design team, including Ferretti’s Filippo Salvetti, who penned the exterior and IdeaeItalia, which created the interior, focused on presenting the brand’s yachting heritage. “We may have gone a little far with earlier models,” says De Vivo, referring to the residential look of other yachts in the line. While larger interior volumes are in high demand with new boaters, there are challenges. The first is keeping the profile from looking bloated. Salvetti did a good job with that by creating a top deck that looks slender, along with a larger hull body defined by racy, angular dark windows that give the impression of performance. The second is actually divvying up the unusually large interior volume so it’s proportional to its actual function within the yacht. That extra-large salon might seem like a big benefit, but if it seems like a vast empty space that sacrifices galley size, for instance, then the boat doesn’t function properly.

Ferretti 881

  • By Dag Pike
  • Updated: October 4, 2007

are ferretti yachts good

UPFRONT: The pilothouse is well forward, freeing up lots of saloon space. An anti-roll gyro assures stability.

A definite chill was in the early morning air, with the Tramontana wind coming down off the mountains to the north. But the Italian sun was shining, not a cloud was in the sky and the day seemed perfect for a boat test-unless, that is, you wanted to test the rough-sea capability of a good-sized Ferretti. Even so, for me this would be a day to savor, as we were to cruise along the Riviera from Cannes to Monte Carlo. This is the playground of the rich, and I took considerable pleasure from being in a motoryacht that might as well have been created for these surroundings.

The 881 is the new flagship of the Ferretti fleet. She comes from what I consider to be the old school of motoryacht design, not a bad thing at all when you are in the land of old school boys like Michelangelo and da Vinci and Giotto.

There are times when I am doing boat tests when I wonder where yacht design is heading. The European motoryacht market seems to be constantly challenging the bounds of convention. It is as though designers and builders can only demonstrate their prowess by ceaseless innovation; you get the feeling that they tend to ignore the tried-and-true solutions-which, when you consider that we are dealing with vessels that go to sea, is not entirely comforting. Still, there are a few builders who believe in refining what they have done before rather than trying to re-invent the wheel. Ferretti is one of this select group. While there are partner yards within the Ferretti Group that go down the road of adventurous design, the Ferretti yard itself remains true to the venerable solutions.

Any way you slice it, on this yacht conventional styling rules. If I had to single out a surprise, it would be that a yacht can be this good while conforming so faithfully. All the classic elements of yacht design are in this 881: There is the profile that shows the pilothouse well forward to create a large saloon, there is the wide beam to create generous internal space, there is the shallow deadrise of the hull for easy planing and good performance. Throughout, there is the highly lacquered cherry interior. Now I have seen all sorts of exotic woods used for yacht interiors but this warm cherry has been the classic for more years than I care to remember.

A long time ago, cherry was often laid on with none too subtle a hand, producing a rather funereal effect. Not so on the 881. Here, the cherry paneling and furniture have a pale finish, and produce a light, soft interior, which matches well with the tan leather and cream-colored, coarse-woven fabric on the walls; thin horizontal wood strips break up the paneling.

This rich simplicity creates what is one of the best and most restful interiors I have come across. Of course, Ferretti has to get its little touch of innovation into the design. This comes in the form of the large side-hull windows, which do much to lighten up the master suite. The bedroom part of the suite is on the port side. Here there is a seat where you can watch the fish go by (for, at speed, this window seems to be almost under water). On the starboard side there is another of these picture windows, but this time it is over the full-size bath; an interior window allows a view right through from the bedroom, via the glass doors of the semi-circular shower cabinet. The whole arrangement takes your breath away, and if I were the owner I think I would leave my captain on the helm and spend my time at sea down here. You might even believe that was a mermaid you saw outside the window!

This master suite is amidships. In addition, there is the usual arrangement of two twins and a double cabin forward. Each of these has an en suite bathroom endowed with cherry wood and marble. These are calm, comfortable cabins-but, let’s face it, no match for the style of the master suite. Aft of the master there are the two crew cabins and the access to the engine compartment (which is also reached via the cockpit). The engines are installed on a V-drive system; one result of having these isolated gearboxes is they do tend to generate an uncomfortable whine at speed that can spoil some of the enjoyment of the peaceful accommodation.

The cockpit has space for a gleaming wood table and settee-it’s an attractive alfresco dining alternative to the saloon. Another option is up on the flybridge, where there is a barbecue and a bar. Large sun beds and an optional hot tub make this the place to be on sunny days and a large Bimini reaching out from the arch mast will offer shelter when it gets too hot. The reverse-angle windscreen up here, on the other hand, does not offer a lot of shelter from the wind.

And there will be wind when you advance the throttles on the 881. Despite the atmosphere of calm and serenity generated by this yacht, she does not hold back when it comes to performance. The two 2,000 hp MTU diesels power it to a top speed of 32 knots while the cruising speed of 27 knots comes up effortlessly. Apart from the gearbox noise, this cruising speed is a perfect match to the style of yacht: It allows dignified rather than exciting performance.

The wide beam allows plenty of space in the engine compartment, and it is here that you find the secret weapon that contributes much to the smooth performance of this yacht. The 881 has Ferretti’s anti-rolling gyro (ARG) fitted as standard. You can certainly feel the benefits of this system: It gives good stability when the boat is traveling at speed, especially at slow speeds when normal fin stabilizers lose their effect. The ARG, on the other hand, continues to work its magic even when the boat is stopped-so you won’t spill your gin and tonic even when a swell comes into the anchorage.

This stability takes away any excuse for not cooking sumptuous food and the large galley forward of the dining saloon gives the chef every scope for this. The galley enjoys easy access, with an outside door and a forward door that leads into the pilothouse so that the crew can move around without impinging on the guest areas.

The layout of this yacht is all so logical that you wonder why it has not become the standard for all yachts of this size. Things are not quite so logical, however, at the helm, where a large seat that invites double occupancy really only has working space for one. The only other seating here is a corner settee that looks more like a casual breakfast nook than good seating when underway. At the helm there is now what is becoming the usual three-screen display. Ferretti’s own Naviop electronic monitoring and control system is standard and occupies one of the screens. Below this, on the flat section of the dash, there is a hodgepodge of dials and controls that do not seem to have attracted much logic or love in their layout.

Back to the good things in life, there is a garage built into the stern that can accommodate a small tender or a Jet Ski. This is the usual thing, until you find that the large door hinges down to form what is virtually a teak-decked, watersports beach-and then the area seems exceptional.

During my day on board I frequently felt a shiver of recognition at the exceptional made commonplace. The 881 is about pleasure in many shapes and forms, yet the overall impression that remained after a joyful voyage along one of the most beautiful coastlines in the world is of the calm of its ride and the serenity of this design. Yachts should be designed to give pleasure, and this one certainly hits the spot; short of donning a toga and reclining with a bevy of Roman-era courtesans, I don’t know how I could have felt any more relaxed.
