Santa Maria

A single year separates Santa Maria's build date from her arrival on the market, and that gap is the whole of her story: a 2024 Ferretti 720 offered as a used yacht rather than a factory order, sparing a buyer the wait a new build demands. She is a twenty-two metre flybridge motor yacht lying in Key Biscayne.

Build and provenance

Ferretti built Santa Maria as a 720, a monohull flybridge design finished in 2024. At twenty-two metres with a beam of 5.6 metres and a draft of 1.8 metres, she carries the proportions the yard sets for its flybridge range. Her age means the systems and finishes reflect the yard's current specification, without the wait a new order requires.

Layout and accommodation

Ten guests sleep across five cabins, with a single crew member aboard to run the boat day to day, a setup built for a family or a small group rather than a full charter party. That crew ratio suits an owner who wants the boat run simply, not a full-service charter operation.

Performance and engineering

Twin MAN V12 engines, each rated at 1,400 hp, give Santa Maria the power a twenty-two metre flybridge needs to get up and hold the plane with a full crew and guest load aboard. Stabilisers are fitted, keeping the boat level at anchor as well as under way, a detail worth having with five cabins full of guests trying to sleep.

On deck and at anchor

Underwater lights and a wine cellar are her two extra amenities aboard. The lights mark her out after dark, and the wine cellar gives the crew somewhere proper to keep bottles rather than a cooler under the bar.

Where she lies and how to see her

Santa Maria lies in Key Biscayne, in the United States. Boatcrowd sets up a viewing and comes along for it, and once an offer is accepted, the survey and sea trial follow before anything else moves forward.
