 NEW FERRETTI
740:
A Master of
Elegance
Following the success of the previous model
Ferretti 731, the new Ferretti 740 will be seen for the
first time at the Genoa boat show from 3rd to
11th October 2009 .
The Ferretti 740 is a yacht with a strong
personality, created for an owner who wants to have
spacious interiors with a design and decor where warm
tones and precious materials predominate, wide sun-zones
and innovative solutions like the new design of the
hull-windows to have spaces bathed in natural
light.
This yacht leans towards a classic style but
with elegant and contemporary touches coming from
research made by the shipyard in order to showcase “made
in Italy” excellence. The result is a master of elegance
that cruises the sea.
EXTERIOR
The external profile of Ferretti 740 is sleek
and streamlined thanks to the flowing lines of the
windows that dominate the main deck, and feature a
succession of sinuous curves and straight lines. In
addition to the open view windows of the Owner’s cabin,
two new windows have been inserted in the hull forward
which enhance the on-board experience by making
excellent use of natural light.
On the stern spoiler there is a comfortable
sofa-bench with electro-hydraulic adjustment. The
cockpit, with teak floor, is furnished with a sofa and a
large table and chairs. To Port, the stairs give access
to the flying bridge where the pilot station has been
placed further back and in a central position to give a
broader view for navigation and piloting the
yacht. The pilot seat has a 360° turning circle,
allowing the Owner to turn round and share relaxing
moments with their guests in the U-shaped dinette
behind. A large table and grill area complete the
external living zone. Ferretti 740 is also available in
hard top version with electric opening of the bimini
top.
MAIN DECK
The wide salon of Ferretti 740 is bathed in
natural light and offers a cosy atmosphere created by
the tones of the materials selected for the furniture
and the bleached walnut timber, used for the first time
onboard a Ferretti yacht. The interior has two separate
areas – living and dining area – whilst keeping a
harmonious continuity of space.
To Port, a wide sofa in a “L” shape and a
comfortable armchair are positioned around a low table.
To Starboard, there is a pop-up TV and an additional
sofa for three followed by the stairs to the flying
bridge. The dining area – separated from the living
area by careful furniture placement, features a
tempered glass table and chairs for eight
guests.
The dining zone opens to an access area that
connects galley, pilothouse, the exterior and the lower
deck, making the access for the crew. The galley is
located in a strategic position, between the dining area
and the pilot house, in order to let the crew go about
their tasks without disturbing the guest’s privacy. The
pilot house is located forward with dinette/charting
zone and extendable table.
On the lower deck, the Ferretti 740 cabins
are distinguished by details: bulkheads and walls are
covered in light-coloured fabric framing the windows; an
elegant solution. All cabins have a private
en-suite bathroom.
The full-beam Owner’s suite is located in the
centre of the boat, with walk-in wardrobe and bathroom
with a wide semicircular shower offering a wonderful
view of the sea through the open view window. The VIP
cabin is forward, illuminated by the new windows
and the two guest cabins, also featuring new windows,
are found to Port and Starboard.
INTERIOR DECOR
Timeless elegance of Ferretti 740 comes from
the perfect balance between a functional design allowing
the highest level of liveability and the use of the
finest materials to create warmth and light.
The bleached walnut with very light grain
makes the atmosphere warm, comfortable and elegant. The
interior is highlighted by colour contrasts of
decorative details, like ceilings, panels made in
natural textiles and leather for the bead-heads and the
special mixture of natural fibres created for some
doors.
MOTORIZATION AND
PERFORMANCE
The Ferretti 740 comes with twin MAN 1360HP
or twin MAN 1550HP engine packages. Both offer speeds in
excess of 30kts.
