Ferretti Yachts will introduce six new models in 2026, from the sporty Ferretti 500 to the luxurious Ferretti 1000. Each model is a testament to Italy's craftsmanship, reflecting a commitment to both performance and elegance. The Ferretti 680, for instance, combines powerful engines with spacious decks for those long summer days in the Costa Smeralda.
The Ferretti 500 is particularly well-suited for the calm waters of the Amalfi Coast, where her sleek lines and agile handling make anchoring off Positano a breeze. Meanwhile, the Ferretti 780 offers a more robust experience—ideal for navigating the gusty Mistral winds that can surprise sailors in the northwestern Mediterranean.
Pricing starts at €1.3 million for the Ferretti 500, with the larger models like the Ferretti 1000 reaching up to €5 million. It’s worth noting that while initial costs are significant, annual maintenance can average around €12,000, depending on usage and location. Choosing the right model can significantly impact these ongoing expenses.
On the brokerage side, we’ve seen increased interest in Ferretti models, particularly for charters in Sardinia and Croatia, where their luxurious amenities attract high-end clientele. The Ferretti 670 stands out for her spacious flybridge, making her a popular choice for those looking to entertain while cruising the clear Adriatic waters.
Navigating the waters between the islands of Greece is another area where Ferretti shines. The maneuverability of the Ferretti 720 allows for quick escapes from busy ports like Mykonos, while still providing the comfort needed for longer voyages.
As a broker based in Rome with a strong presence in Valencia, I’ve had the pleasure of walking aboard these models during their launches. The attention to detail in each design—whether it's the integrated audio systems or the customisable interiors—is impressive. Ferretti knows how to balance luxury with practicality, ensuring that every yacht serves its purpose well.
In conclusion, the 2026 Ferretti lineup offers a diverse selection that caters to various needs, whether you’re seeking a family cruiser or a charter-ready vessel. With models ranging from the agile Ferretti 500 to the opulent Ferretti 1000, there’s a yacht for every Mediterranean adventurer. To summarise, consider the intended use, budget, and maintenance costs when choosing your ideal Ferretti yacht.
