RPM Speed (knots) Litres/hour total
60 6 10

1,400 14 130 min planing speed
1,800 23 240
2,000 26 320

2,200 30 40
2,300 31.5 430
2,380 32.5 460 max speed

consumption of 460 litres/hour is impressive, as is the very notable
speed of 23 knots with a total fuel consumption of 240 litres/hour. The
FY 700’s extraordinary comfort is comparable with a full-displacement
yacht at 12 knots.
This is the result of a perfect combination of water lines, weight
and power, as well as a good construction process. The Ferretti Yachts
technical department did a very good job on this yacht in terms of
project and analysis, but also in terms of the technical solutions that is
possible appreciate inside the engine room. Everything is in the right
position with easy to care for, high-quality systems in a well-refrigerated
area.
The figures taken during the sea trial provide a good idea about the
important job done by the shipyard to offer a performance luxury yacht
able to sail at a maximum speed of 32.5 knots, or at the considerable
cruising speed of 28kts in maximum comfort and safety, with a fuel
consumption of 360 litres per hour that allow the yacht to sail up to 300
nautical miles.
The yard offers different solutions for engines. One is a MAN V8
with 1,000hp (each) and the other is the MAN V8 1,200hp. This test
yacht has the most powerful solution.
Easy to manoeuvre, soft on the waves and powerful when needed –
considering this is a 70ft yacht where comfort and space are top level,
this is one of the best yachts in this segment. We really appreciate the
behaviour at sea at any speed and also in small areas manoeuvring,
where the FY700 is as easy to manage as a smaller yacht. Elegant as a
luxury Italian yacht must be, with the materials selected for all the areas
combining to offer a high-class stay with maximum comfort.
The new Ferretti Yachts 700 is another example of the excellent work
done by the Italian yard to offer international customers the best of


Italian style combined with technology and quality in all areas of the
yacht, including the smallest and unseen parts.
