Ferretti 860

A jet tender and a jet ski share one launch system on the Ferretti 860, and that pairing says as much about how she is meant to be used as any number on the spec sheet: island hopping rather than long open-water runs. Ferretti delivered her in 2023, built for a coastline where the next anchorage is never far off.

Build and provenance

She is the Ferretti 860, a flybridge motor yacht on a monohull that Ferretti built in 2023. At 27 metres, or 89 feet, with a 6.2-metre beam and a 2.1-metre draught, the flybridge sits above a main deck built wide rather than long, giving her more room to entertain on a single level than her length alone suggests.

Layout and accommodation

Eight guests sleep across four ensuite cabins, each finished to the same standard so no cabin plays second to the owner's. On the main deck the saloon runs straight into the aft cockpit, keeping indoor and outdoor life on one level, and a round table off that opening seats the whole party together rather than splitting them around a corner.

Performance and engineering

Twin 2,000 hp MAN engines cruise at 24 knots and reach 28 knots flat out, and have logged 433 and 447 hours respectively, a record a surveyor can check against the log rather than take on trust. A Seakeeper stabiliser keeps her level at rest. She carries 7,000 litres of fuel against 1,400 litres of water, a balance that favours range over long stretches at anchor.

On deck and at anchor

Teak covers the flybridge, where the sunpads spread out for the afternoon and the dining table seats up to ten for evenings outside. The tender and jet ski launch from the same system aft, underwater lights carry the anchorage into the evening, and a wine cooler and CCTV cover entertaining and security in equal measure. A watermaker keeps the tanks topped without a trip to a dock.

Where she lies and how to see her

The Ferretti 860 lies in Thailand. Boatcrowd sets up the viewing and is present for it, and once terms are agreed a survey and sea trial follow before the sale completes.
