The first unit of the new Ferretti Yachts 720 was launched in November 2025 at the Ferretti Group shipyard in Ravenna, Italy. Ferretti says the boat is destined for the American market and is also the first flybridge model built at the yard’s newer Ravenna production facility, a 100,000-square-meter site that signals how central the range remains to the group’s strategy.
A familiar flagship enters its third chapter
The Ferretti 720 badge has covered two distinct eras already.
- First Generation Ferretti 720 (2003-2013) served as the flagship flybridge yacht of its time, built in GRP and arranged with four cabins for up to eight guests. The model earned recognition as a finalist at the Asia Boating Awards in 2012 in the Best Production Motor Yacht (15-24m) category.
- Second Generation Ferretti 720 (2019-2025) shifted the 720 into a more contemporary, performance-led template: a 22.3m planing flybridge with four cabins, a full-beam owner’s suite, and speeds in excess of 32 knots depending on engine selection.
YachtBuyer reviewed the second generation and found a well-finished, buyer-friendly layout with strong deck usability, particularly at the foredeck and on the flybridge, backed by the kind of build quality expected at this level.

ON BOARDFerretti 720 Review (2019 Edition)
The new Ferretti Yachts 720 (often referenced as the F720) retains the core promise that made the second generation popular - an eight-guest, four-cabin flybridge in the low-20-meter band - but it arrives with targeted design and technical changes aimed at comfort, privacy, and day-to-day practicality.
The design brief behind the new model
Ferretti positions the new 720 as an evolution driven by the Product Strategy Committee, chaired by Piero Ferrari, working with the Ferretti Group Engineering Department. For styling and interior architecture, the redesigned motor yacht continues the brand’s recent design direction with:
-
Exterior design by architect Filippo Salvetti
-
Interior design by Ideaeitalia
The new features include an even sharper focus on on-board comfort, on optimised spaces to close the gap with larger models, and on a significant increase in the storage areas."
Ferretti Yachts
In headline numbers, the new model measures 22.5m (73ft 10in) LOA with a 5.60m (18ft 4in) beam, and is built in GRP. Accommodation remains four cabins for up to eight guests, with crew space set up for two.
More glazing, improved shade, cleaner lines
From the dock, Ferretti’s update starts with the profile. The yard points to “even more extensive glazing” in both the main-deck lounge and the master cabin, with the goal of pulling more natural light into the spaces owners spend the most time in.
Up top, a redesigned flybridge hardtop is intended to increase the shade coverage, and on the side decks, the updated gunwale is meant to strengthen the sense of connection between interior and exterior zones. Taken together, these are the kind of changes that tend to matter more in daily use than in a spec sheet - heat management, glare control, sightlines, and how open the main deck feels at anchor.
Rethinking circulation and privacy on the main deck
Ferretti has rethought how people move into and around the salon. On the first unit, there are three access points into the lounge: a hinged door on the port side and two sliding doors to starboard. It is a layout that puts flexibility first, especially when docking side-to or when you want one route dedicated to crew and the other to guests.
Inside, the living area centers on two large sofas with cushions, described by Ferretti as being inspired by those found on larger yachts. Ideaeitalia’s “Contemporary” mood selected for the first hull leans into a fresh, modern palette with pale but confident tones that tie back to the sea.
The biggest functional shift on this deck is farther forward: a clearer separation between the dining and living zone and the galley and wheelhouse. Ferretti says this is enabled by a sliding glass door and an optional hi-lo window with an electronic opening mechanism. The result is a semi-enclosed arrangement that aims to deliver more privacy while also improving how the boat operates during service - a practical change for owners who cruise with guests and want the galley working in the background.
The wheelhouse itself picks up a couple of notable upgrades. Ferretti highlights a windscreen without a central pillar, now positioned as a brand signature, and new armchairs designed by Frau. On this first unit, parquet flooring is used on the main deck and stairs.
Flybridge refinements for real-world use
On the flybridge, Ferretti says storage has been improved through a large compartment behind the pilot chairs. The first unit’s hardtop uses adjustable slats, giving owners a way to tune shade and airflow rather than relying on a fixed solution.
Ferretti also calls out improved seating ergonomics at both bow and stern, and notes an awning for the bow area to add shade during the hottest part of the day. These are small details on paper, but they tend to shape how often owners actually use each zone, especially in summer cruising grounds.
Below decks: accommodation, storage, and operations
Below decks, the Ferretti 720 retains a four-cabin guest layout, but the redesign places a stronger emphasis on comfort, storage, and everyday practicality. The arrangement retains a master suite and VIP cabin, both with en-suite bathrooms, alongside two twin guest cabins. On the first unit, the port-side twin is fitted with sliding beds to add flexibility.
The master suite on board the flybridge yacht has been carefully reworked to feel more usable over longer stays. A desk and chair sit to port, balanced by a sofa opposite, positioned beside the walk-in wardrobe. The wardrobe is set behind the bed bulkhead and separated by a sliding door, with the private bathroom located alongside. Ferretti notes a noticeable increase in storage throughout the lower deck, reinforcing the sense that the yacht is designed to function more like a larger model in day-to-day use.
Crew accommodation is arranged with operational efficiency in mind. A double crew cabin is accessed directly from the cockpit and includes a private bathroom, a laundry station, and direct access to the engine room. This layout reduces crew movement through guest areas during routine checks and maintenance, supporting a calmer onboard environment while underway or at anchor.
Power on the first hull is a pair of 1,400 hp MAN V12 engines, with Ferretti listing a maximum speed of 32 knots and a cruising speed of 28 knots (preliminary data). This first unit is also fitted with a Seakeeper NG10 gyroscopic stabilizer and a WATCHIT Antigrounding System.
How the Ferretti 720 fits within the flybridge range
With nine models now spanning Ferretti Yachts’ flybridge lineup, the new-generation 720 sits at a key midpoint between compact cruising yachts and the brand’s largest crewed flagships.
At the top of the range, the 31m Ferretti 1000 is built around volume and long-stay comfort. Designed for crewed operation, it introduces a full-beam main-deck owner’s suite, five cabins for up to ten guests, and an upper deck that runs almost the full length of the yacht. Extensive glazing, one-level main-deck living, and a vast flybridge push the experience closer to that of a small superyacht, with cruising speeds centered around 20-24 knots and a top speed of 28 knots.
The 24m Ferretti 780 sits closer in size to the 720, offering a four-cabin layout for eight guests alongside a recently restyled interior and increased hull glazing. With speeds up to 31 knots, it suits owners wanting more space without stepping into the scale of the 1000.
Below the 720, the 21m Ferretti 670 takes a more design-led approach, with its raised mezzanine owner’s cabin and clearly defined main-deck zones, while the 18m Ferretti 580 anchors the range with a three-cabin layout, strong deck spaces, and IPS-driven performance up to 32 knots.
Rather than reinventing the formula, Ferretti has focused on evolving the 720 where it matters most for owners. The model’s first public showing at boot Düsseldorf will reveal how successfully those changes land.
