Blue Abalone, a 2015 Ferretti 690, has four staterooms accommodating eight guests, plus a crew quarters and was recently put on the market by Allied Marine for $1.859 million.
“The Italian builder aimed this yacht toward the owner who perhaps has a budding family, but who still wants to experience the thrill of speed. And the 690 provides plenty of it. She roars to life when you open up the throttles and makes a top hop at close to 35 knots with precision handling to match,” Yachting previously reported.
Powered by twin 1,268 p MTU 8V 2000 M94 diesels, Blue Abalone has a reported top speed of 33 knots. Cruise speed is 28. A Seakeeper NG9 gyrostabilizer helps ensure a smooth ride even in rough conditions. The engine room is well maintained, offering easy access for routine checks and servicing.
Blue Abalone’s decks are thoughtfully designed to maximize space and function. The teak-clad cockpit is a perfect setting for dining alfresco, complete with a table and seating for six. The extended flybridge overhead offers protection from the elements. The foredeck features a sunbathing area, fitted with cushioned loungers and adjustable backrests, making it the go-to spot to get away from the crowd and take in the ocean breezes.
“The main deck features a rational distribution of spaces. Its elegant lines make it incredibly wider compared to the previous Ferretti 660. A vertically sliding glass partition allows separating this area from the rest of the saloon or leaving it open, turning the main deck into a large open space. The dining area and the sofa are located in the central part of the deck, enjoying wider spaces and featuring the utmost comfort for the guests,” Allied Marine stated.
Blue Abalone’s flybridge is equipped with a fully stocked wet bar, including a grill and refrigerator. The wraparound seating area surrounds a large dining table, while the aft deck accommodates sun loungers with additional seating. A retractable sunroof gives guests the option of sun or shade, and the secondary helm station offers excellent visibility.

The seating area features a bone-white leather sofa with two small glass tables to starboard, a portside L-shaped sofa/dinette with table as well as an entertainment center housing a flat-screen TV and surround sound system, also to port. High-gloss wood finishes and premium materials elevate the overall aesthetic, creating a space that’s as inviting as it is elegant.
Blue Abalone’s galley is compact yet fully equipped. It boasts a refrigerator, ice maker, oven, four-burner cooktop, microwave and dishwasher. The countertops are granite, and abundant stowage ensures the essentials are within easy reach. An adjacent dinette offers guests a casual dining option.
After a long day on the water, owners and guests can retire to one of four staterooms.
