The first unit of the brand new Ferretti Yachts 940 was launched last January fifteen at the Cattolica shipyard. The first Ferretti 940 will remain in Italian waters, testifying the strategic role of the domestic market for the Ferretti Group. The new Ferretti 940 is a replacement to the Zuccon designed 920 after the delivery of 38 units and a production run of seven years. The Ferretti 940 is a stylistic departure to the previous model, with Filippo Salvetti bringing the style of the 860 into this large unit, with floor-to-ceiling glazed surfaces being part of the design element of the main deck. In substance though the 940 carries a lot of the outgoing 920 more then it wants you to see, see the broken S-shear line and the way the semi wide-body is integrated into the main deck. With a length overall of 28 meters, the Ferretti 940 offers a five-guest cabin layout, with the interiors designed by Ideaeitalia. The first Ferretti 940 is furnished with freestanding furniture and offers incredible versatility of use. The glass parapet, establishes continuity with the stern platform, creating the perfect area for sharing experiences with family and friends. Once inside the almost thirty-square-metre salon, entered through large sliding glass doors, is decorated on this unit in the brand’s Classic mood, which taps into warm, earthy elements and is designed to bring the owner the pleasure of an elegant, inviting and uncluttered environment. The area contains a large living space, furnished on this first unit with an L-shaped sofa facing a storage unit and a sliding TV, plus a centrally positioned dining table seating eight. The hallway forward of the galley leads to the new Raised Pilot House, featuring a single-piece windscreen with no central pillar for better visibility. The main deck is also home to the full-beam owner’s suite, which takes full advantage of the widebody hull concept and, on this unit, features the use of prized Silver Roots marble for the desktop on the starboard side, on the forward wall behind the sofa, and in the bathroom; the full-beam bathroom is in the bow. The extensive glazing is a striking new feature, including a floor-to-ceiling window in the dining area that floods the space with natural light, thanks in part to an external parapet designed so that it doesn’t obstruct the view. In this first unit, the floor-to-ceiling glazing features a sliding door to provide direct access to the starboard side walkway. The outdoor area forward contains a large sun-pad, a generous C-shaped sofa and a table. The wide walkways provide easy access to the mooring area. The more than generously sized flybridge is the perfect place to share al fresco lunches and dinners while revelling in the beauty of the marine environment. The guest area on the lower deck provides a total of three VIP cabins and one guest cabin with sliding beds. The first Ferretti 940 is fitted with twin Man 2000hp engines, reaching a top speed of 25 knots and a cruising speed of 21 knots. Ferretti has so far sold four units of the 940, before the launching of hull one, with the first three ordered following project presentation during the 2024 Cannes boat show.
