Quick Answer:
Ferretti Yachts primarily include the Flybridge series and the Yacht/Custom Line flagship series, ranging from 45 feet to over 100 feet in length. Their core strengths lie in spacious layouts, luxurious interiors, and comfortable offshore capability, rather than high-speed performance.
Founded in 1968 and headquartered in Italy, Ferretti Yachts is a major global luxury yacht manufacturer. The brand is renowned for Italian classic design, exquisite craftsmanship, and reliable offshore performance, earning wide popularity among high-end owners in Europe, North America, and Asia.
Ferretti emphasizes both comfort and functionality, with design concepts that not only pursue streamlined aesthetics but also optimize social areas and cabin layouts.
From my personal experience with the Flybridge 670 and Yacht 920, I found the interior space particularly suitable for family leisure and social entertainment. The flybridge can be used for outdoor dining and relaxation, while the main and guest cabins are laid out to balance privacy and shared space—one of Ferretti’s key differentiators from other luxury yacht brands.
Ferretti Yacht Series Overview
Flybridge Series
The Flybridge series is Ferretti’s mainstay, ideal for family cruising and coastal entertainment. These yachts generally range from 45 to 70 feet, focusing on comfort, spaciousness, and seaworthiness. The flybridge area provides seating, dining, and sunshade systems, perfect for daytime gatherings or sightseeing.
Representative models include the 450, 500, 550, and 670. I have personally taken clients on the 550 and 670. The 550, at approximately 55 feet, offers up to 4 cabins, a top speed of 32 knots, and a range of around 380 nautical miles—suitable for nearshore and mid-range cruising. The 670 is better for longer offshore voyages, offering 4–5 cabins, making it ideal for family long-distance trips and gatherings with friends.
Yacht / Custom Line Series
The Yacht/Custom Line series represents top-tier luxury and long-range offshore performance, ranging from 80 feet to over 100 feet. These yachts emphasize space, comfort, and customization.
I participated in a client negotiation for a Custom Line 124 and observed that its interior layout could be freely adjusted, entertainment facilities were complete, and offshore performance was excellent. Its speed is moderate, but the range reaches 500–520 nautical miles, making it suitable for multi-day offshore cruising.
Flagship models prioritize luxury experience: multiple social decks, separated master and VIP cabins, audiovisual systems, and highly customizable kitchens and dining areas. For owners seeking ultimate comfort and bespoke design, these models are the top choice.
Ferretti Yacht Model Key Specifications Comparison
| Series | Model | Length (ft) | Max Speed (knots) | Range (nm) | Cabin Layout |
| Flybridge | 450 | 45 | 30 | 350 | 3 cabins |
| Flybridge | 550 | 55 | 32 | 380 | 4 cabins |
| Flybridge | 670 | 67 | 28 | — | 4–5 cabins |
| Yacht / Custom | 920 | 92 | 22 | 500 | 5–6 cabins |
| Yacht / Custom | 1000 | 100 | 24 | 520 | 5–7 cabins |
From the table, we can see that Flybridge yachts have higher speeds, suitable for coastal entertainment, while Yacht/Custom models have moderate speed but longer range, suitable for offshore cruising.
Based on my client sea trial experience, selecting a model should prioritize cruising purpose, cabin requirements, and range rather than simply chasing speed.

Pre-owned Ferretti Yachts
Pre-owned Ferretti yachts retain value well, especially Flybridge models within the past 10 years. Yacht/Custom series prices vary more, influenced by maintenance, engine hours, and degree of customization. I once assisted a client in purchasing a pre-owned 670, and after professional inspection and maintenance, it was only about 15% less than a new unit, showing strong retention of value.
