Alter Ego Motor Yacht

Twin 1,900 hp MAN V12 engines is enough power that a buyer should look at what holds Alter Ego steady, not just what pushes her forward: zero-speed fin stabilisers that work at rest as well as under way. Ferretti built her in 2018 as a flybridge motor yacht, and the fundamentals beneath her decks are as considered as the finish above them.

Build and provenance

She is a Ferretti-built flybridge motor yacht on a fibreglass monohull, delivered in 2018. Her twin MAN V12 D2862LE476 engines, each rated at 1,900 hp, are backed by a pair of Cummins generators that have been serviced and are ready to run, so a buyer takes on power that is proven rather than freshly fitted and unproven.

Layout and accommodation

Eight guests sleep across four cabins, with two further cabins holding four crew, kept apart from the guest layout so service runs without crossing paths. The master suite sits full beam amidships, the galley sits forward of the salon for the same reason, and every guest cabin is ensuite, a specification aimed at long stays rather than day trips.

Performance and engineering

Zero-speed fin stabilisers hold her still at anchor as well as under way, which matters most exactly when guests have stopped moving around the boat, and hydraulic bow and stern thrusters make her easy to place alongside a dock without a large crew on the lines. Twin Cummins generators back the main engines, giving her the electrical capacity a full-beam interior like hers draws on.

Where she lies and how to see her

Alter Ego lies in Boca Raton. We set up viewings there and attend each one ourselves, and an accepted offer is followed by a survey and a sea trial before the sale goes any further.
