SHERIDAN, WYOMING – December 27, 2025 – Ferretti Yachts has launched the first unit of its refreshed 720 flybridge yacht, built at the brand’s new Ravenna production site—and the very first yacht off the line is destined for the American market.
A New Chapter From Ravenna, Built For Real Life On The Water
The first Ferretti Yachts 720 in this newly redesigned version was launched in November at the Ferretti Group shipyard in Ravenna, a modern facility spanning 100,000 square metres. That detail matters because a production site isn’t just a factory—it’s where a brand’s priorities show up in fiberglass, glass, and finish. In this case, the message is clear: the 720 is being shaped around comfort, smarter space, and that calm, settled feeling of being “at home,” even when you’re miles from shore.
At 22.5 metres (73ft 10in) long with a 5.60-metre (18ft 4in) beam, the yacht sits in a sweet spot for owners who want true liveability without jumping into the complexity of much larger yachts. Think: enough volume for privacy and hosting, but still a size that feels approachable for regular use. And for anyone dreaming about extended weekends that turn into longer seasons, the design updates aim to make that lifestyle feel effortless rather than aspirational.
Design That Lets The Sea In—Without Giving Up Privacy
A standout update is the yacht’s redefined exterior profile with more extensive glazing in both the lounge and the master cabin. The payoff is simple and emotional: more daylight, more horizon, and a stronger connection between inside and outside. It’s the kind of change that keeps a yacht from feeling like a sealed “interior” and instead turns it into a floating living space that breathes with the water around it.
On the flybridge, a new hard top is designed to increase shade—because comfort isn’t only about cushions and décor. Shade is what makes mid-day lounging possible without constantly chasing the cooler corner. The redesigned gunwale also supports that indoor-outdoor dialogue, making the yacht feel less segmented and more like one continuous space made for social, relaxed cruising.
A Lounge That Works Like A Living Room, Not A Showroom
Inside, the updated 720 leans into a convivial, informal vibe—less “museum yacht,” more “welcome aboard.” Owners and guests have three different ways to access the lounge, and on the first unit there’s a hinged door on the port side plus two sliding doors to starboard. The result is flexible flow, especially when you’re hosting and people naturally move between cockpit, lounge, and outdoor seating.
Two large sofas with cushions welcome guests into the lounge, inspired by seating found on larger yachts. It’s a subtle cue, but it’s also a lifestyle one: the living area is meant to be used, stretched out in, and enjoyed for long, lazy hours. The first unit’s Contemporary interior mood brings in pale yet bold tones reminiscent of the sea, adding freshness without losing elegance.
A Smarter Main Deck For Hosting, Cooking, And Quiet Moments
One of the most meaningful upgrades is a clear separation between the dining/living area and the galley/wheelhouse. This is achieved with a sliding glass door and an optional hi-lo window with an electronic opening mechanism, creating a semi-enclosed setting. In real terms, that means you can keep the social space calm and polished while cooking, moving between service and conversation with less visual clutter.
The wheelhouse also introduces a windscreen with no central pillar, now positioned as a distinctive brand feature. Add new armchairs designed by Frau, and the helm area starts to feel like a place you’ll actually enjoy spending time in—whether you’re underway or anchored and planning the next day’s route. On this first unit, parquet flooring on the main deck and stairs adds a warm, residential texture that fits the “Just Like Home” concept.
Four Cabins, Better Storage, And A Crew Setup That Makes Sense
Below deck, the layout is built around four cabins: a master suite, a VIP cabin (both with en-suite bathrooms), and two twin cabins—one of which, on this unit, features sliding beds. The master cabin includes a desk with a chair on the port side, with a sofa opposite near the walk-in wardrobe, which sits behind the wall containing the bed and is separated by a sliding door. That kind of zoning matters when you’re spending real time on board and want the cabin to function as more than a place to sleep.
Operationally, the yacht also prioritizes practical ownership. The double crew cabin has a private bathroom, a laundry station, and direct access to the engine room, entered from the cockpit. On the flybridge, storage has been improved too, including a large compartment behind the pilot chairs, and the hard top on this first unit features adjustable slats to tune shade as conditions change.
3 Ways This Update Matters For Everyday Owners
- More natural light and stronger indoor-outdoor connection, thanks to expanded glazing in key living spaces.
- A calmer hosting flow, with clearer separation between social areas and the galley/wheelhouse when you want it.
- More “stay awhile” functionality, including upgraded storage, a desk in the master, and practical crew/engine-room access.
Power, Stability, And A Little Peace Of Mind Underway
This first Ferretti Yachts 720 unit is equipped with a pair of 1400 hp MAN V12 engines, with a maximum speed of 32 knots and a cruising speed of 28 knots (preliminary data). It’s also fitted with a Seakeeper NG10 gyroscopic stabilizer and the WATCHIT Antigrounding System—features that speak directly to comfort and confidence, especially when you’re cruising longer days or spending more time at anchor.
