Is Ferretti Yachts the same company as Custom Line and Pershing?

They belong to the same parent, the Ferretti Group, but they are separate brands with distinct identities. Ferretti Yachts builds flybridge and INFYNITO crossover models, Pershing builds high-performance sport yachts, and Custom Line builds larger semi-custom yachts. Listings and valuations should compare each yacht with its own brand and model, not across the group.

What should a survey focus on when buying a pre-owned Ferretti?

Engine and generator hours with service history, stabilizer maintenance, the condition of the hull and gelcoat, deck teak, and the operation of hydraulics such as the swim platform. It is also worth checking which options were fitted from new and whether electronics have been updated, since these vary widely between otherwise identical yachts.

Where are Ferretti Yachts typically bought and sold?

The largest markets are Florida and the Mediterranean, with activity also in the Middle East and Asia. A yacht's location, tax status and flag influence which buyers can move quickly, so Daniel considers where the yacht sits and where likely buyers cruise when planning a sale or a search.

About Ferretti

The story began in 1968, when brothers Alessandro and Norberto Ferretti started building boats in Bologna. The company they founded grew into the Ferretti Group, which today also includes Riva, Pershing, Itama, CRN, Custom Line and Wally, and is listed in both Hong Kong and Milan. Ferretti Yachts remains the group's flybridge specialist, with its base in Cattolica on the Adriatic coast.

The brand's reputation rests on flybridge yachts that are built in series yet feel carefully considered: a full-beam owner's cabin, generous glazing, a well-planned galley and a flybridge that works as a second living room. Engineering is conservative in the best sense, and the dealer and service network is broad, which matters to owners who cruise far from home.

More recently, the INFYNITO line added a crossover idea to the range, trading some of the classic planing profile for more volume, open terraces and relaxed cruising. It sits alongside the numbered flybridge models rather than replacing them.

Ferretti yacht models

The current range divides into the numbered flybridge series and the newer INFYNITO crossovers. Older models from earlier generations trade actively on the brokerage market.

Ferretti Yachts 500 and 580The entry to the flybridge range, sized for owner-operators and couples who cruise with family or a single crew member.
Ferretti Yachts 670 and 720Mid-size flybridge yachts where the layout starts to allow proper crew quarters and a more generous main deck.
Ferretti Yachts 800 and 860Larger flybridge models that bridge private use and light charter, with space for a full-time crew.
Ferretti Yachts 940, 1000 and 1000 SkyDeckThe top of the flybridge line, approaching the scale where many owners begin to look at custom-built yachts.
INFYNITO 80 and INFYNITO 90Crossover yachts with a displacement-minded design, broad open decks and an emphasis on living space over outright speed.

Buying a Ferretti yacht

Because Ferretti builds in series, there is usually a meaningful choice of pre-owned yachts of the same model, and the differences between them lie in hours, engine servicing, refit work and how carefully previous owners specified options. A thorough survey should look closely at stabilizers, generators, the condition of teak and gelcoat, and the service records held by the dealer network. A structured buying process keeps those comparisons honest.

Ferretti yachts trade widely in Florida, the Bahamas and the Mediterranean, so location and flag often shape the deal as much as the yacht itself. Running costs rise noticeably as size increases and crew becomes necessary, and a buyer moving up from a smaller yacht should budget for that shift rather than for purchase price alone.

How to buy a yacht

Selling a Ferretti yacht

With many comparable yachts on the market, a Ferretti is priced against its direct peers, so a valuation grounded in recent sold comparables is the starting point. Well-documented maintenance, recent engine service and fresh soft goods help a yacht stand apart from sister ships with similar hours.

The brand has a loyal following among repeat owners and cooperating brokers, which widens the pool of buyers. Daniel presents Ferretti yachts either discreetly to qualified buyers or on the open market with worldwide broker cooperation, timing launches around shows such as Cannes, Fort Lauderdale and Miami.

Ferretti new builds

New Ferretti Yachts are ordered through the brand's authorized dealer network. Daniel does not represent the builder; for clients considering a new yacht, he acts on the buyer's side, comparing a new build with nearly new alternatives, reviewing specification and delivery terms, and coordinating with the dealer, the yard and any owner's representative.

Why work with Daniel Grant

Daniel works between Miami, New York and the Mediterranean, which suits a brand whose yachts move freely between those markets. Backed by the brokerage infrastructure of Reel Deal Yachts, he handles each Ferretti sale or purchase personally, with a clear read of sold comparables and the discretion owners expect.

For sellers, that means a realistic asking price and a plan for where the yacht should be shown. For buyers, it means an adviser who will point out the weaker hull as readily as the better one.
