The Ferretti Group just introduced its new Ferretti 860 flybridge motor yacht at the Cannes Yachting Festival, a luxurious, Italian-made cruiser that would be just as much at home in the glamorous ports of the Med or heading to the Keys or Nantucket.
Some of the more notable features of the new 860 include floor-to-ceiling windows in the salon, a glass parapet at the stern (so you can enjoy an unbroken view), a sliding glazed door that opens to the port side deck, and an optional jacuzzi for the flybridge.
Standard power is twin 1,800-hp V12 MAN diesels. With optional 2,000-hp V12 MANs, the new Ferretti tops out at about 32 knots, and cruises easily in the mid-20-knot range. A Seakeeper gyro stabilizer is optional.
The 860 definitely has a big boat feel. The enclosed pilothouse is raised and has direct access to the crew quarters (two double cabins with heads) on the lower accommodation deck. And you can order the boat with either an open-plan salon, or with an enclosed galley.
Either way, you won’t feel cramped. Head room in the salon is a full 6’ 8” and it has freestanding furniture, a 75-inch TV, and a dining table seating eight. A helical staircase on the port side leads to the lower deck, with an impressive full-beam master stateroom that’s insulated from the engine room by a large head and shower and a walk-in wardrobe running along the aft bulkhead. Two double cabins are on the starboard side, and a smaller fourth cabin has two single berths.
The foredeck invites lounging with a large, forward-facing sofa, a lounge with a reclining backrest, and an elegant teak coffee table. The aft cockpit has two sofas facing each other with a central table and a bar on the port side. The garage under the cockpit is large enough for a 12’ 8” Williams jet tender.
Up top, the flybridge has another bar, a dinette seating eight, lounging areas and the upper helm station. It’s protected by a hard top with an opening sun roof.
