Alessandra and Noberto Ferretti branched off of the car family business in 1968 with a wooden motor-sailer. This boat, measuring only 10 meters received great praise and sparked the two to venture out into leisure cruising Yachts. It was in 1990 that the company really started to see leaps and bounds as Ferretti dedicated itself to research and development of the in-house engineering division. With over 50 years in the nautical business. Ferretti Yachts offers “A Robust Seafaring Tradition”. If you are looking for a Yacht, here is what you need to know about the Ferretti Yacht brand.
Innovation contributions to Yacht Manufacturing

It is the combination of experience, engineering, and innovation which drives this brand forward. In 2005 the company launched a Yacht which opened the door for the Hybrid propulsion and Fer WAY. The keel for the yacht proved to be rather stable, providing an easier use in navigation. Apart from these accomplishments the Ferretti Yachts engineering team was the first to make the Zero Emission Mode on a yacht longer than 20 meters.
Comforts
