Ferretti Yachts 800 - a motor yacht that is shaking up the flybridge motorboat market

The Ferretti Yachts 800, the latest model in the range launched in 2018, is part of an innovative approach to yachting, combining elegance, comfort and functionality. Previewed at Boot Düsseldorf 2025, this new flybridge model is currently under construction at the Ferretti shipyard in Cattolica.

With a length of 24.47 metres (80 feet 3 inches) and a maximum width of 5.91 metres (19 feet 5 inches), the Ferretti Yachts 800 is also available in a version with a shortened aft platform to comply with the 24-metre limit imposed by French legislation.

An Assertive and Innovative Exterior Design

The architecture of the Ferretti Yachts 800 is the result of a collaboration between the Product Strategy Committee, led by Piero Ferrari, and the Ferretti Group's engineering department. The exterior design, by Filippo Salvetti, reinterprets the shipyard's aesthetic codes with more dynamic lines. Unlike previous models, the flybridge slopes gradually towards the stern, creating a harmonious balance between modernity and volume.

The superstructure incorporates large glass surfaces for a fluid connection with the marine environment, while an optional sliding door, located to starboard of the salon, optimises circulation on board. The 14 m² forward terrace, equipped with a sunpad and C-shaped bench seat, offers a spacious relaxation area.

Interior Spaces Designed for Comfort

The interiors, designed by IdeaeItalia, emphasise ergonomics and aesthetics. The main living room, bathed in light thanks to its huge bay windows, has a ceiling height of 2 metres and a layout that promotes fluid movement. Two decorative ambiances are available:

  • Classic, with materials inspired by natural colours
  • Contemporary style, favouring light woods and marine-coloured fabrics

The dining area includes an elegant table that can seat eight guests, directly connected to the closed kitchen. A sliding panel connects these two spaces while ensuring the privacy of the guests. Access to the steering position is via a crew passageway, guaranteeing a clear separation of flows.

On the lower deck, the sleeping area consists of four cabins:

  • An owner's suite of 18 m²
  • A VIP cabin at the front
  • Two guest cabins
    Each has its own private bathroom, offering top-of-the-range accommodation for eight passengers.

A Spacious and Functional Flybridge

With a surface area of 40 m², the flybridge exceeds the usual standards for its category. It consists of:

  • An outdoor dining area with a table and a sofa with ample storage space
  • A bar with optional stools on the port side
  • Freestanding furniture designed by Talenti, including armchairs and poufs
  • An advanced steering position, offering excellent visibility and optimal comfort for the captain

Performance Suitable for All Sailing Programmes

The Ferretti Yachts 800 is available with two MAN V12 engines:

  • 1,550 hp as standard (maximum speed of 27 knots, cruising speed of 15 knots)
  • 1,800 hp as an option (maximum speed of 31 knots, cruising speed of 27 knots)

This yacht has been designed to offer a smooth and high-performance sailing experience, combining modernity and refinement for an exceptional cruise.
