SPEND SOME TIME ABOARD the Ferretti Yachts 700 and you’ll discover that this totally new
yacht is the evolution of a successful model. The FY700 appeared at the last Cannes Yachting
Festival, where the Italian brand presented it together with the new Ferretti Yachts 550. These
models are dedicated to owners who like to cruise in total comfort and safety on a yacht with a
sporty layout where space and quality of life on board are fundamental elements.
Designed by Studio Zuccon International Project and Ferretti Group’s Engineering
Department, the FY700 offers new aesthetic and functional solutions. The hull is totally restyled
and has large glazed surfaces that offer an unobstructed view thanks to the special solutions
adopted for the structure.
The FY700, 860 and 970 were on display at the second edition of the Ferretti Group Asia
Pacific Open Days at the Italian builder’s Aberdeen service facility in Hong Kong June 10-12. All
three are part of Ferretti’s Tai He Ban collection of yachts that have been fine-tuned specifically
for the Asian market.
There are many important innovations aboard this luxury yacht, including the large swimming
platform with integrated tender lift that allow an easy way to launch the tender and lets guests
enjoy the sea. This large bathing area represents the easiest way to get in and out of the water.
Sophisticated solutions have been developed to ensure an easy way
of life aboard and a very comfortable cruise. The design is developed
to offer privacy, sea views throughout the interior and natural light
everywhere.
The light in the main saloon is impressive as it streams through the
big lateral windows that provide sea views from the sofa as well as from
the lunch table.
It’s not easy to realise such an impressive solution on a very
aerodynamic design, but Zuccon International Project drew upon its
wealth of experience to create a modern and functional design that’s
original yet retains a family feeling, all perfectly integrated with the
renewed hull.
To magnify the exterior layout, Ferretti Yachts adopted a new
combination of colours for the superstructure. The FY700’s aerodynamic
design is evident in the lengthened flybridge, with the satellite systems
and antennas housed in the Vulcan Grey roll bar above. The result is
