The debut of the Ferretti 830 at this fall’s Cannes Boat Show marks an
exciting new direction in hull styling for Ferretti Yachts. Each of the
fiberglass motor yacht’s sleek hull sides features four large rectangular fixed
windows and two small opening ports that bring intimate water views and fresh
ocean breezes into the owners’ stateroom and bath.
While the 830’s entire
layout demonstrates a clever and efficient use of space, the master suite is the
yacht’s real showpiece. Located amidships on the lower deck, it runs the full
width of the yacht’s 20-foot, six-inch maximum beam. A queen-size bed is located
in the center of the suite, facing the port-side hull window array. The
starboard hull windows are set into the wall of a large double shower
room, which is separated from the owners’ sleeping quarters by a glass-lined
corridor. Thanks to this innovative design, the owners can see out through all
the windows from anywhere in the cabin. And by opening the smaller portholes,
they can enjoy the sea air while in the shower – or, if preferred, from an
optional hydro-massage spa. Electric blinds lend privacy while in port.
The
large, L-shaped owners’ bathroom has twin sinks mounted in a white marble
counter, a raised toilet and bidet area closed off by a sliding door, and
entries at either end. Two closets – one a walk-in – plus a daybed, vanity and a
full entertainment system with flat-screen television round out the owners’
accommodations.
Forward of the master suite, two twin guest staterooms lie on
opposite sides of the corridor leading to the VIP stateroom in the bow. This
generously proportioned cabin has a queen-size berth on centerline, vanity,
built-in seat and walk-in closet. All three guest cabins incorporate heads with
showers, teak floors and marble counters.
