Ferretti Yachts has launched Hull No. 1 of the Infynito 80, which is expected to have its world premiere in September at the Cannes Yachting Festival.
The boat was built at the Ferretti Group’s new production site in Ravenna, Italy. The company acquired the location in March 2023 and expects it to be fully operational in 2025. Currently, there’s a workforce of 200 people there building five production lines for the Ferretti Yachts and Wally brands, which are both part of the Ferretti Group.
The Infynito 80 is the smaller of two models now in the Ferretti Yachts Infynito lineup. The larger model is the Infynito 90.
With the Infynito 80, Ferretti Yachts kept what it calls the All-Season Terrace, a space far forward that is partially covered and partially open for use in various kinds of weather. The sundeck on the Infynito 80 can also be open or semi-enclosed.
What’s different between this model and the Infynito 90 is the upper deck. On the Infynito 80, that space is a completely open sundeck with a hardtop that provides shade for the dining area and helm station. Aft on the Infynito 80’s upper deck is space for freestanding sun loungers.
Also part of this model is FSEA technology, which stands for Ferretti Sustainable Enhanced Architecture. It’s a package of environmentally minded elements including a fast-displacement hull that improves fuel efficiency, natural fabrics, regenerated leather, recyclable materials, water-based paints and lamellar teak with Forest Stewardship Council certification. The yacht also has an integrated system that stores the solar energy collected by photovoltaic panels that are on the hardtop and on the roof of the All-Season Terrace.
Inside, the main deck includes a salon and a forward galley with an electric window that looks out onto the All-Season Terrace.
Belowdecks are four ensuite staterooms for a total of eight people. The crew area, with two cabins, is amidships and can be entered separately from the yacht’s port side.
In terms of power, Hull No. 1 is outfitted with optional twin 1,400-horsepower MAN V-12s. Ferretti Yachts says these engines produce a top speed of 22 knots and a cruising speed of 17 knots.
Standard power plants are twin 1,200-horsepower MAN V-12s for a top hop of 20 knots and a cruising speed of 15 knots.
Range, according to Ferretti Yachts, is 1,200 nautical miles at 10 knots.
Who designed the Ferretti Yachts Infynito 80? This yacht is a collaboration among the Product Strategy Committee led by Piero Ferrari and the Ferretti Group Engineering Department, with exterior design by architect Filippo Salvetti and interiors by Ideaitalia.
