The first Ferretti Yachts 940 was launched in Cattolica, on the east coast of Italy, with the unit sold in the domestic market and set to remain in the country. Ferretti Group’s Cattolica facility is dedicated to the larger Ferretti Yachts models and located about 100m inland, which requires each completed boat to be wheeled along the streets and down to a travel-lift at the local marina.
The model features an overall length of 95ft 1in (28.97m) and a beam of 22ft 3in (6.78m). The first unit is fitted with twin 2,000mhp MAN V12 engines, which are expected to provide a top speed of 25 knots and a cruising speed of 21 knots.
Design wise, the model is another collaboration between Filippo Salvetti for exterior styling, IdeaeItalia for interiors, Ferretti Group’s Strategic Product Committee chaired by Piero Ferrari, and its Engineering Department.
Like the flagship Ferretti Yachts 1000, the 940 features a master suite forward on the main deck and four lower-deck guest cabins, including one with sliding beds.
On the first unit, the cockpit is furnished with freestanding furniture and a glass parapet, allowing guests to oversee family and friends on the swim platform and in the water. Large sliding glass doors open to an almost 30sqm saloon, with hull one finished in IdeaeItalia’s Classic mood, focused on “warm, earthy elements”.
Furniture on hull one includes an L-shaped sofa facing a storage unit and sliding TV, plus a centrally positioned dining table seating eight, while a sliding glass door providing direct access to the starboard walkway is among options.
Forward, the full-beam owner’s suite takes advantage of the widebody hull concept. The first unit features prized Silver Roots marble for the desktop on the starboard side, on the forward bulkhead and in the bathroom. The full-beam en-suite bathroom is in the bow. The main-deck hallway also leads to a raised pilot house featuring a single-piece windscreen for better visibility.
Outdoor areas include a foredeck with a large sunpad, C-shaped sofa and a table. The expansive flybridge offers a clear aft deck and a long seating and dining area to port, while to starboard is an outdoor galley and bar with stools, plus a twin-seat helm station.
