It seems incredible that the sleek profile of the new Ferretti Yachts 940, with its remarkably horizontal lines, can encompass spaces truly worthy of a residence. Here, that feeling of domestic comfort goes hand in hand with the adventurous experience typical of life at sea. No small feat for a widebody yacht measuring 28.97m LOA and 6.76m in maximum beam, a challenge successfully met by the extensive design team.
For instance, the nearly 30-square-meter main saloon features a spacious living area configurable with various options. The standard version includes a large Minotti corner sofa opposite a low cabinet with a retractable, built-in TV. Two optional variants also allow for a second sofa or a storage unit on the starboard side. An optional extended opening glass partition enhances the dining area’s outward view, creating a sense of continuity. This midship space comfortably seats 8 people around an elegant Bonaldo Art dining table.
This team comprised the shipyard’s Strategic Product Committee and Engineering Department, alongside architect Filippo Salvetti for the exterior design and IdeaeItalia design studio for the interiors. This collaborative effort resulted in a highly versatile and customizable 5-cabin layout – featuring a master cabin on the main deck and four guest cabins – all while maintaining expansive sea views, thanks to full-height glass walls.
The exterior areas are also designed to offer tailored outdoor relaxation. This includes the bow area with a sunpad and a forward-facing C-shaped sofa, the 50-square-meter flybridge perfect for lunches and dinners, and the far aft area, fully customizable with freestanding Talenti or Minotti furniture.
For all areas, it’s always possible to choose between the Classic mood, evoking warm earth elements, or Contemporary, inspired by sea colors, featuring luminous wood essences and fabrics with fresh hues. Even the full-beam master cabin, spanning nearly 27 square meters, offers a king-size bed with a leather headboard alongside ample storage, a walk-in wardrobe, and a vanity with a ‘silver roots’ marble cabinet – a material also featured in the en-suite bathroom.
