The first Pershing GTX80, the ultimate expression of exhilaration, total control and unchallenged dominance, was launched on April 3 in the port of Fano. The yacht has the sporty spirit and generous living spaces typical of the Pershing GTX range.

The new Pershing GTX80, about 24 metres long and 5.80 metres in the beam, is the phenomenal result of collaboration between the Ferretti Group Product Strategy Committee led by Piero Ferrari, design studio Vallicelli Design and the Group’s Engineering Department.

The interiors and exteriors on board this model communicate seamlessly with each other, creating a unique space and a new dimension of comfort. The yacht has two decks, plus a sportbridge, and can comfortably accommodate up to eight guests thanks to the new four-cabin layout. There is also a cabin with two beds for the crew.

The exterior styling, in classic Pershing grey, features a number of innovative choices: designed without stanchions, it points up the near vertical bow and the continuous, slightly convex sheer-line. In the bow section, the bulwarks have been lightened by a longitudinal slot, while those in the stern have a dual function, both incorporating the winches and converting into lateral terraces that swing down. This is the first time a solution like this has been adopted on a Pershing model and the aim is to establish even closer contact with the water.

One of the outdoor spaces that stands out most is the stern platform, which has three different positions, making it a versatile and extremely important feature of the boat. It can be left in the default position, raised using the dual linear lift so that it’s flush with the beach area, extending and integrating the aft living space in conjunction with the lateral terraces when open, and also used for launching tenders.

The bright, airy spaces and extensive glazing on the main deck are a signature feature of this model. Immediately aft of the helm station – fitted with three 24-inch screens – is a living area containing a generous corner sofa, a dining area – on this first unit in a formal version with free standing furniture – and a fully integrated galley/bar in spaces directly overlooking the cockpit. This innovative design solution again underscores the focus on creating fluid, intercommunicating spaces. The black elements in the kitchen area create a slight contrast with the pale parquet and are colour-coordinated with the metallic silver lacquered ceiling, which features multiple intersecting diagonal LED lights that diffuse light across the entire deck – from exterior to interior – in a pared-down design that focuses on multiple angles.

The sundeck is very spacious – at 23 square metres, it’s 60% larger than the category average – while at the same time guaranteeing internal space of gran turismo proportions. This effect is partly due to the sleekly dynamic arch-shaped deckhouse. The hard-top available for the sundeck – this first unit has one – is made of carbon fibre to deliver the utmost in performance and aesthetic appearance.
Equipped with three 1,000 mhp VOLVO PENTA D13 IPS1350 engines, Pershing GTX80 reaches a top speed of 34 knots (preliminary data) and a cruising speed of 28 knots.

FERRETTI YACHTS EXTEND THE INFYNITO RANGE: THE NEW INFYNITO 80

Sustainability, more covered exterior surface area and continuity between interiors and exteriors are the key features of the 2nd project in the range.

Ferretti Yachts extends the brands INFYNITO body
Forli, February 4, 2024

The INFYNITO range is for people who love the sea without limits or boundaries, as expressed by the “Further than you can Sea” concept.

Making her debut at Boot Düsseldorf, INFYNITO 80 joins the brand’s hugely successful INFYNITO 90 and builds on the range’s typical characteristics: environmental friendliness, unprecedented flexibility and innovative layouts, as magnificently embodied in the iconic All-Season Terrace. Other strengths include the yacht’s versatility, with a sundeck that can be open or semi-closed, and the sheer size, above average for the segment, of the exterior surface area covered and protected by the hard top or superstructure.

Built at the Marina di Ravenna shipyard, Ferretti Yachts’ INFYNITO 80 is the result of collaboration between the Strategic Product Committee chaired by Piero Ferrari and the Ferretti Group Engineering Department, with exterior design by Filippo Salvetti and interiors by design firm Ideaeitalia.

With an overall length of 23.70 metres (77ft 9in) and a maximum beam of 6.36 metres (20ft 10in), INFYNITO 80 is designed to offer lovers of the sea a new and gratifying experience in highly customisable spaces where interiors and exteriors blend into one another.

“After INFYNITO 90, we developed the range’s second model with the aim of retaining some of this design's unique and inimitable characteristics, while also adding new features tailored for a project of a different size,” explained designer Filippo Salvetti. “We’re proud to present INFYNITO 80, a solution with above-average covered exterior space, enabling owners to enjoy the yacht in all seasons and weather conditions but without sacrificing direct contact with the sea, the surrounding environment or the sun.”

INFYNITO 80 also features the Group’s F.S.E.A. technology (Ferretti Sustainable Enhanced Architecture), a package of environmentally friendly cruising solutions. They include an integrated system that stores the solar energy collected by the photovoltaic panels installed on the hard top in an Energy Bank, which consists of 14 high-density lithium batteries that deliver more energy at the same time as guaranteeing a favourable weight-power ratio. The battery pack is in the engine room, in watertight steel containers fitted with temperature monitoring sensors. There was also a special focus on the use of green materials, such as natural and bamboo fabrics, regenerated leather and recyclable materials, ecological water-based paints and lamellar teak with FSC 5 certification, used throughout the exteriors.

An overview of the various decks highlights the main deck astern, with a generous 18 square metres dedicated to a beach area that features a sea-view couch incorporating a generous storage unit. There is also a stern platform with a linear lift for launching and hauling up the tender. The 19 m² cockpit has a living area with free-standing furniture for greater flexibility in terms of layout and use. In the 29 m² interior saloon, the dining room (available in the standard version) can be replaced by a show kitchen with a bar counter and stools. The yacht’s main galley is at the forward end of the main deck, with an electrically operated sliding glass door providing direct access to the All-Season Terrace. The hallmark of the range is its iconic covered terrace, sheltered by an extension to the superstructure for protection in all weather conditions and total privacy. On INFYNITO 80, the 13 m² terrace can be configured as a dinette, with seating and an extending table, or as a bar counter.

The raised helm station provides excellent visibility and is accessed by a staircase in the centre of the main deck.

The upper deck, which is closed on INFYNITO 90, is replaced on INFYNITO 80 by a totally open sundeck in the standard version, and a semi-closed one with glass panels as an option. The hard top provides shade for the entire dining area and foredeck. The stern section of the upper deck is a sunbathing area with free-standing furniture and an outdoor galley.

The 43 m2 lower deck has a master suite – in the midship section of the boat and fitted with plenty of storage space – a VIP cabin and two guest cabins. The crew quarters contain two cabins sleeping a total of three people.

“INFYNITO 80’s interior design builds on the sustainability solutions adopted for INFYNITO 90, which are the key plus point of this range. From lamellar teak and eco-friendly paints to regenerated leather and other recyclable materials, everything is designed to offer a yachting experience that fully respects the environment,” commented Davide Bernardini and Alessio Battistini of Ideaeitalia. “Not to mention the iconic Ferretti Yachts moods: Classic, which taps into earthy elements, and Contemporary, featuring glowing woods and fabrics in fresh hues inspired by the colours of the sea. Both moods create a sophisticated aesthetic in functional and efficient spaces designed for owners who increasingly see their yacht as a new place to live in, as if it were an extension of their home”.

INFYNITO 80 can be fitted with a pair of MAN V12 engines rated up to 1400 mHP (in the optional version), driving the yacht to a top speed of 23 knots and a cruising speed of 18 knots (preliminary data). And with the new high-efficiency hull, the yacht has a range of 1000 nm at an economy cruising speed of 12 kt.
