Ray White Marine (exclusive distributors for Ferretti Group in Australia and New Zealand) will make an opulent Italian return to SCIBS with the award winning new model Ferretti 450 flybridge.
'This is the best owner/operator top tier European flybridge under 50ft, three spacious cabins all with five-star hotel fitouts and Italian designer finishes' says Sales Director Brock Rodwell. The entry level flybridge for Ferretti Yachts boasts a high volume three cabin/2 bathroom layout, with raised galley, complimented by vast sunbathing, teak cockpit and covered flybridge areas.
The heavily optioned stock boat for sale is fitted with Cummins 480hp shafts with a top speed of 30 knots and features a teak laid hydraulic platform for the Williams 280 jet tender, upgraded 11kw generator for tropical air-conditioning and stainless water maker. The open plain saloon has naturally light from all angles and is finished off in the finest Italian leathers and soft furnishings...this one will be hard to disembark after a few Negroni's!
Ferretti Yachts 450 is the result of the collaboration between the Ferretti Group Product Strategy Committee and the StudioZuccon International Project, which handled both exterior and interior design.
Main Deck
Once on board, the stern swimming platform featuring a tender lift offers a submerged area to use as a beach club or to move the tender (up to 2.80 metres). The interiors of the main deck are a streamlined open space, with a fully parquet floor. The galley on the port side features walnut furniture doors with lacquered frames and a glazed surface at the bottom. The central living area is fitted with a sofa on the port side surrounding the dining table, opposite which is a second sofa against the wall. The helm station is located at the far bow on the starboard side.
Lower deck
The lower deck has a three cabin layout to sleep up to six people. The full-beam master suite is enhanced by the playful decorations of walnut, fabrics, lacquered surfaces and carpet in various shades of grey, as well as leather inserts in the furniture panels, framework and headboard.
The captivating style of the suite also features extraordinary volume and space: indeed, the central double bed is flanked by a comfortable sofa on the starboard side and many storage compartments and by two spacious wardrobes stretching to other containers against the wall.
The master suite is completed by a large en-suite head with separate shower. A similar interior design distinguishes the VIP suite at the bow, while the guest cabin features ample bunk beds on the starboard side. The head with separate shower in the VIP suite is shared with the third cabin and can also be used as a day toilet.
Flybridge and exteriors
There is a huge amount of space outside, starting from the flybridge, the sun deck is divided into a dining area with central table and bar unit at the stern and a 2nd helm station. The compact design of the helm station, along with the storage under the helm seat, help create space for a large bow sunpad. A retractable stainless bimini shelters guests from all areas of the flybridge. The bow of the yacht is also all about relaxation with an oversized forward bow sunbaking area.
