Ferretti 81: BoatTEST Review
Overview
The Ferretti 881 motor yacht, originally conceived as the Ferretti 880, represents a culmination of extensive experience in boat building, racing, hull design, and system engineering brought together by the Ferretti brothers and their team. This Italian-built yacht is a dynamic work in progress, continuously evolving to enhance functionality and layout. Distinguished by innovative design and first-class craftsmanship, the 881 embodies the Ferretti commitment to perfection in the luxury motor yacht segment.
Interior Living Spaces
Upon entering the yacht, guests are welcomed into a spacious main salon paneled in high-gloss cherry wood and decorated in muted earth tones. The salon features a dining table that seats eight across the beam, made possible by the yacht's generous 22-foot beam. The parlor area includes a cozy sofa and two facing love seats, complemented by elegant Roman shades that are power-operated to provide either abundant natural light or privacy. The interior design emphasizes comfort and style, creating a refined living environment.
Bridge and Helm Design
The helm benefits significantly from the yacht's wide beam, offering ample space and excellent visibility through expansive windscreens. The helm seat adjusts slowly in four directions, though its appearance is somewhat utilitarian. Thoughtful placement of 12-volt switches beneath the navigation table and convenient access to controls within arm's reach enhance operational efficiency. The helm accommodates two to three navigation screens comfortably. Additionally, a high spectator bench is positioned against the bulkhead, and a cozy settee to starboard serves as an ideal spot for morning coffee or as a workstation during passages or marina maneuvers.
Galley and Functional Spaces
Located immediately above the helm, the galley is a masterclass in maximizing counter space within a compact footprint. It includes all necessary appliances and features a clever island with additional cabinetry in the 881 model. The standout attribute of this galley is its exceptional storage capacity, which enhances usability and convenience for extended voyages.
Private Accommodations
The master stateroom distinguishes the 881 from its predecessor, the 880, by offering arguably the most impressive master suite on any motor yacht under 125 feet. Positioned midship and centered within the 22-foot beam, the stateroom provides optimal comfort and balance. A sitting area adjacent to a large picture window floods the space with natural light, a rarity among master cabins. Innovative design includes an additional picture window above the jacuzzi tub in the head, allowing light to pass through the shower stall into the bedroom, creating a unique and inviting atmosphere. The master suite connects to an ensuite spa-like head, evoking the ambiance of a floating Balinese retreat. Forward in the bow, the VIP cabin is notably spacious due to raised cabin sole and overhead, as well as a raised foredeck that capitalize on the boat's natural flare and beam. This cabin features built-in seating on both sides of the bed and a generously sized ensuite head, making it one of the largest VIP accommodations in production yachts of this size.
Power and Performance
Despite its substantial size—89 feet in length and weighing 150,000 pounds dry (180,000 pounds fully loaded)—the Ferretti 881 achieves a top speed of 30 knots. This performance is made possible by twin 2,000-horsepower MTU engines, an optimized hull shape, and a 12-degree dead rise at the transom. These engineering choices provide the yacht with offshore capability and stylish presence in any global setting.
Conclusion
The Ferretti 881 is a striking example of meticulous design and engineering, combining innovative features with luxurious comfort and impressive performance. Its spacious interior, thoughtful layout, and powerful propulsion make it a compelling choice for those seeking a stylish, offshore-capable motor yacht under 125 feet. The continuous evolution of the model reflects the Ferretti team's dedication to excellence, ensuring the 881 remains a standout in its class.
