Filippetti S90-01

Eight guests across four cabins is a deliberate choice on a 27-metre performance yacht: fewer, larger suites rather than a full complement squeezed onto a sports hull. The Filippetti S90-01 keeps her owner's suite on the main deck, with three further cabins below, each with its own ensuite. She was built in 2027, hull number one of the S90 line.

Build and provenance

She is a planing monohull with a fibreglass hull, drawn by designer Fulvio De Simoni and built to RINA CE-A classification. At 90ft (27 metres) overall, with a beam of 6.4 metres and a draft of 1.2 metres, her proportions suit a hull built to lift onto the plane quickly rather than one built for load-carrying.

Layout and accommodation

The owner's suite sits on the main deck, a level of its own above the guest cabins. Three further cabins sit on the lower deck, each with its own ensuite, accommodating eight guests across four cabins in total. Crew are quartered in two separate cabins, keeping service apart from the owner's and guests' own spaces.

Performance and engineering

Twin 2,200hp Man engines drive the Filippetti S90-01 to a 35-knot cruise and a 40-knot top speed, output built for a hull shaped to plane rather than to push through the water. Two 21kW generators keep her systems running independent of the engines, and her tanks hold 7,000 litres of fuel and 1,300 litres of fresh water, enough for the coastal running this kind of performance yacht is built for.

Where she lies and how to see her

Ancona, Italy, is where the Filippetti S90-01 is taking shape, and it is where a buyer can see her as she nears completion. Boatcrowd handles the viewing arrangements and is present throughout, and once an offer is accepted a survey and sea trial come next, ahead of handover.
