Ferretti 740: Master of Elegance

Following the success of the previous model, the Ferretti 731, the new Ferretti 740 will be seen for the first time at the Genoa boat show, which runs from the 3rd to 11th October 2009.

Ferretti 740: Master of Elegance

The Ferretti 740 is a yacht with a strong personality, created for an owner who wants to have spacious interiors with a decor where warm tones and expensive materials predominate – a craft with wide sun zones and innovative features like the new design of the hull windows to offer spaces bathed in natural light.

This yacht leans towards a classic style but with elegant and contemporary touches. As a result of research done by the shipyard, the new Ferretti showcases ‘made in Italy’ excellence. The result is a master of elegance that cruises the sea.

Exterior
The external profile of the Ferretti 740 is sleek and streamlined thanks to the flowing lines of the windows that dominate the main deck. The design features 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 added to the hull forward to enhance the on-board experience by making excellent use of natural light.

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 well back, and in a central position to give a broad view for navigation and piloting of the yacht. The pilot seat revolves through 360°, allowing the owner to turn and share relaxing moments with his guests, seated in the U-shaped dinette behind. A large table and grill area complete the external living zone. The Ferretti 740 is also available in a hard top version. Opening and closing of the bimini top, is then electrically powered.

Main Deck
The wide salon of the Ferretti 740 is bathed in natural light and offers a cosy atmosphere created by the bleached walnut timber and the texture of the materials selected for the furniture, which are used for the first time on board a Ferretti yacht. The open-plan interior has two separate areas – living and dining – keeping a harmonious continuity of space.

To port, a wide L-shaped sofa and a comfortable armchair are positioned around a low table. To starboard, there’s a pop-up TV and an additional sofa for

three and 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 on to an area that connects galley, pilothouse, the exterior and the lower deck, giving access for the crew. The galley is located in a strategic position between the dining area and the pilot house, so the crew can go about their tasks without disturbing the guests’ privacy. The pilot house is located forward with dinette/chart zone and extendable table.

On the lower deck, the Ferretti 740 cabins are distinguished by beautiful detailing. Bulkheads and walls are covered in light-coloured fabric which enhance the window proportions – an elegant solution. All cabins have private en-suite bathrooms.

The full-beam owner’s suite is located in the centre of the boat, with walkin wardrobe and bathroom and a wide semi-circular shower, which has a wonderful view of the sea through the panoramic window. The VIP cabin is forward, bathed in light from the newly designed windows. The two guest cabins also feature large windows and lie to port and starboard.

Interior Decor
The timeless elegance of the Ferretti 740 comes from the perfect balance between a functional design and the use of the finest materials to create warmth, light and ultimate liveability.

The very lightly grained bleached walnut carpentry makes the atmosphere warm, comfortable and elegant. The interior is highlighted by colour contrasts of decorative details. The ceiling panels are made with natural textiles, leather is used for the bed-heads and the doors are covered in a specially created blend of fibres.

Motorization and Performance
The Ferretti 740 comes with twin MAN 1360HP or twin MAN 1550HP engine packages. Both offer speeds in excess of 30 knots
