The first unit of the brand new Ferretti Yachts 800 was launched last July 18 at the Cattolica shipyard.

The new boat, which completes the range renewal process begun in 2018, is the result of collaboration between the Strategic Product Committee chaired by Piero Ferrari and the Ferretti Group Engineering Department. The yacht has an overall length of 24.47 m (80 ft 3 in) and a maximum beam of 5.91 m (19 ft 5 in), with a version featuring a short swim platform available to comply with the 24-metre limit established by French law.

The result of a stylistic evolution process involving architect Filippo Salvetti for the exteriors and the Ideaeitalia team for the interiors, Ferretti Yachts 800 is designed to offer the owner peerless comfort and a superior on-board lifestyle, thanks to optimised spaces and meticulous layout planning.

The most innovative features include large windows for uninterrupted views of the surroundings from the interiors, perfectly separated spaces to ensure total privacy, and optimisation of the exterior surfaces.

Starting on the main deck, the seven-square-metre beach area is aft, with a cockpit featuring a spectacular glass parapet designed to extend the view outside and towards the beach club. The crew area - with three separate cabins - is accessed from the port side walkway.

Continuing through the interiors, the salon is bathed in light thanks to extensive glazing which offers uninterrupted views of the surroundings. The interior decor of the unit launched is in the Classic mood - which taps into warm, earthy elements - with a layout featuring a corner sofa facing a storage unit and slide-out TV. The generous interiors are enhanced by the two-metre-high ceilings.

Moving past the living space, the dining area contains an elegant table and the fully appointed and separate galley is directly connected to it through a sliding section of the bulkhead. Separate walkways allow the crew to enter the galley from the outdoor area and then access the wheelhouse without interfering with guest flows. The helm station can also be accessed from the hallway.

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 suite, a VIP cabin forward and two guest cabins, providing a total of eight berths. All four cabins have private en suite bathrooms.

The flybridge also stands out for its above average surface area of 40 m2. The al fresco dining area on the starboard side features a table and a fibreglass sofa with a large storage compartment incorporated underneath it. A bar unit on the port side can be paired with optional stools. A spacious area aft is furnished with freestanding elements including pouffes and sofas.

The helm station at the bow is fitted with ergonomic seats and offers excellent visibility.

The first Ferretti Yachts 800 unit launched is equipped with a pair of 1800 hp MAN - V12 engines (max. speed 31 kn and cruising speed 27 kn).
