Ferretti 720

A yacht built to feel like a villa at sea is the idea behind the Ferretti 720: architect Filippo Salvetti worked with Ferretti Yachts on a layout that trades boat-shaped rooms for the proportions of a home, and fitted her with the toys, from thrusters to underwater lighting, that make a day on the water easy rather than a project.

Build and provenance

This Ferretti 720 was built in 2024, a fibreglass-hulled flybridge cruiser at 22 metres, with a beam of 5.6 metres and a 5.9-metre draught. She's new enough that nothing about her systems needs explaining away, only enjoying.

Layout and accommodation

Below, the cabins each carry their own television, the kind of detail that turns a trip aboard into something closer to a stay at home. Above, the flybridge repeats the idea with its own fridge, bottle chiller and cooktop, so a meal on the top deck never means a walk back downstairs.

Performance and engineering

Two 1,200 hp MAN V8 1400 engines carry her to a 24-knot cruise and 28 knots at full throttle, with twin 20 kW generators to keep her systems running at anchor. Stabilisers hold her level underway, and proportional bow and stern thrusters make close-quarters manoeuvring straightforward.

On deck and at anchor

A beach club opens at the stern with a hydraulic swim platform that lowers to the waterline, so getting in and out of the sea takes no ceremony. Underwater lights turn the same spot into an evening feature, and the flybridge above adds a second, open-air deck for guests who want sun rather than shade.

Where she lies and how to see her

This Ferretti 720 is in Miami. Boatcrowd sets up the viewing and is on the dock for it with you, and if an offer is made and accepted, a surveyor and a sea trial follow before anything is final.
