Ferretti Yachts 720 is Powered by MAN V12
Equipped with a pair of 1400 hp MAN V12 engines, the first Ferretti Yachts 720 unit, bound for the American market, was launched in November at the Ferretti Group shipyard in Ravenna
The powerhouse behind the Ferretti Yachts 720 is the enduring MAN Engines V12, located in the engine room of the first flybridge model built at the new shipyard in Ravenna, Italy. Launched in November 2025, it is powered by a pair of V12 engines with a unitary displacement of two liters (BxS 128×157 mm), able to supply 1400 hp (1029 kW). The maximum speed is set at 32 kn and cruising speed at 28 kn. This engine, a historic character in the maritime competition with Caterpillar and mtu, has undergone a fundamental redesign. The V12X version (BxS 138×165 mm) is now available at 29.6 liters; it was recently honored with the Red Dot Award and is capable of delivering 2,200 mhp, equivalent to 1,618 kW.
Ferretti Yachts 720 Launch and the Technical Connection with MAN Engines
Building on the success achieved in recent years, Ferretti Yachts 720 makes her debut in a completely redesigned version. The model retains the distinctive features of the previous generation, introducing aesthetic enhancements and new technical features that confirm the brand’s evolutionary journey, driven by collaboration with architect Filippo Salvetti for the exteriors and Ideaeitalia for the interiors.
With a length overall of 22.5 metres (73ft 10in) and a maximum beam of 5.60 metres (18ft 4in), Ferretti Yachts 720 is the result of collaboration between the Product Strategy Committee – chaired by Piero Ferrari – and the Ferretti Group Engineering Department.
The new features include an even sharper focus on on-board comfort, on optimised spaces to close the gap with larger models, and on a significant increase in the storage areas.
From an exterior design perspective, Ferretti Yachts 720 features a redefined profile with even more extensive glazing in both the lounge and the master cabin, flooding the interiors with light. The new hard top on the flybridge is designed to increase the shade provided, while the redesigned gunwale accentuates the connection between interior and exterior.
Interior highlights
Starting from the main deck, there are three different ways to access the lounge. The unit launched has a hinged door on the port side and two sliding doors to starboard, designed to point up the dialogue between interior and exterior.
Continuing along the main deck, the most important new feature is clear separation between the dining/living area and the galley/wheelhouse, made possible by the introduction of a sliding glass door and the optional hi-lo window with an electronic opening mechanism. The result is a semi-enclosed setting that guarantees greater privacy and improves the overall quality of the experience.
Other new features in the wheelhouse area include the windscreen with no central pillar, now one of the brand’s distinctive features, and the new armchairs designed by Frau. On this first unit, the flooring on the main deck and stairs is parquet. The new layout of the lower deck features four comfortable cabins: a master suite and a VIP cabin (both with en-suite bathroom) plus two twin cabins (the one on the port side on this unit is fitted with sliding beds).
The master cabin has a desk with a chair on the port side, while opposite there’s a comfy sofa next to the walk-in wardrobe, which is located behind the wall containing the bed, separated from the other areas by a sliding door, and next to the private bathroom. Overall, there are significantly more storage spaces.
The double crew cabin, entered directly from the cockpit, has a private bathroom, a laundry station and direct access to the engine room, combining functionality and practicality with a view to optimising operational management on board.
The storage space has been upgraded on the flybridge as well, resulting in a large compartment behind the pilot chairs. The hard top on this first unit features a system of slats that can be adjusted as needed.
The ergonomics of the seating in both the bow and stern has also been improved for even greater comfort. The unit also has an awning for the bow area, providing shade when the sun is at its hottest.
