Italian luxury boatbuilder Ferretti Yachts has revealed more images and fresh details of the new Infynito 90, the first model in the Infynito range.

With a length overall of 26.97 metres and a maximum beam of 7.33 metres, Ferretti Yachts Infynito 90 is the result of collaboration between the Strategic Product Committee led by Piero Ferrari and the Ferretti Group Engineering Department, with exterior design by long-term collaborator, architect Filippo Salvetti, and interiors by IdeaeItalia.

Ferretti says the yacht, which was presented at the 2023 Cannes Yachting Festival in September, is inspired by explorer vessels and is designed to cover long distances in absolute comfort.

The new Ferretti Yachts model brings to market the group’s Ferretti Sustainable Enhanced Architecture (FSEA) technology, a package of cruising solutions designed to minimise the environmental impact of luxury yachting.

One of the most significant solutions is an integrated system that stores the solar energy collected by photovoltaic panels installed on the yacht’s superstructure in an energy bank made up of lithium batteries, which provide eight hours of autonomy at anchor in zero-emission and zero-noise mode.

There is a special focus on using green materials, such as natural and bamboo fabrics, regenerated leather and recyclable materials, ecological water-based paints and lamellar teak throughout the exteriors.

On the Infynito 90, the indoor and outdoor settings blend into one another thanks to the interior design, creating generous, customisable spaces based on numerous layout combinations that owners can choose from.

The focus of the Infynito 90 and the range as a whole is the ‘All-Season Terrace’ in the bow. Sheltered by an extension to the superstructure that provides protection in all weather conditions and offers total privacy, the terrace is a comfortable private area forward that can be fitted out according to the owner’s preferences.

Ferretti says this is the yard’s first model to feature a skylounge completely surrounded by windows, with direct access onto the upper deck cockpit.

Main deck

The flexibility of the layout is demonstrated in the 34-square-metre aft cockpit, which can be decorated with free-standing furniture or a panoramic sun pad combined with a formal dining area. The yacht also has a longitudinal garage accessed from the transom, with steps integrated into the lift and enough space for a Williams Diesel-JET 415 Tender.

The main deck offers a walkaround design, while the generous open space interiors create an uninterrupted view that sweeps from the yacht’s stern to the bow.

The owner can choose their preferred configuration from three different options. The first unit to launch features a totally open space fitted out with an informal living area aft, containing two facing sofas, and a country kitchen amidships interconnected with both the living room and the dining area forward, which is furnished with a large table seating eight.

A more formal version of the deck is also available, with an enclosed galley that the crew can access independently from the port walkway. Both versions include a large pantry and the day head.

A third layout option, inspired by larger yachts positions the full-beam master suite, containing an en-suite bathroom and a walk-in closet, in the bow on the main deck.

The All-Season Terrace, one of the standout features of the design, is fitted out on the first unit with a Jacuzzi surrounded by sofas.

As an alternative, the owner can opt for a panoramic cocktail bar featuring a counter and four bar chairs, or, alternatively, a series of sun loungers.

All the solutions feature a sun pad in the bow. Electrically operated concealed windows can also be fitted in all configurations to connect the terrace with the neighbouring interior area.

The forward terrace has a covered central section complete with a bimini top, available in both a fixed version and with tilting glass louvres, as installed on the first unit.

The yacht offers two colourways for the interior, classic and contemporary. The classic mood taps into warm, earthy elements, while the contemporary features woods and fabrics in fresh hues inspired by the colours of the sea. All options feature soft ceilings, verticality and clean lines, plus freestanding furniture.

The view sweeping from stern to bow at the heart of the boat’s concept is practically uninterrupted, not even by the central staircase, which connects the three decks and is contained in a structure formed of eco-leather slats.

Upper deck

The Infynito 90 is the first model in the Ferretti Yachts range to feature a skylounge completely surrounded by windows and with direct access to the upper deck cockpit.

Forward of this is the helm station – featuring a Simrad Command integrated dashboard – that in the first unit built is closed off from the convivial zone in the midship section, which features a lounge and TV. An open version of the wheelhouse is also available.

In both cases, the Skylounge can accommodate a dining area seating eight. The upper deck cockpit can also be configured with free-standing furniture to create a sunbathing and al fresco dining area. Two bridge wings can also be configured on either side of the yacht to facilitate docking manoeuvres.

 

Lower deck

The lower deck on the Infynito 90 can offer up to four double cabins (master, VIP and two twins), all with en-suite bathrooms and sleeping a total of eight passengers, or 10 if the main deck is configured with the master cabin in the bow.

In the first unit, the full-beam master cabin is midship on the lower deck. The starboard guest cabin can be fitted out as a double cabin with an en-suite bathroom, as is the case on the first unit, or as a multipurpose room.

The crew’s quarters are in the midship section, with independent access from the port walkway, and provide two separate cabins (sleeping three) with a double bathroom and a dinette.

 

Propulsion

The Infynito 90 can be powered by two 1550 mhp MAN V12 engines (reaching a top speed of 20 knots and cruising speed of 15 knots) or two 1800 mhp MAN V12 engines (offering a top speed of 22 knots and cruising speed of 17 knots).

The yacht has a fast-displacement hull and a range of up to 1,400 nautical miles at an economy cruising speed of 10 knots for maximum efficiency.

The FSEA technology package – a system combining photovoltaic panels mounted on the yacht’s superstructure (producing up to 7.3 kW) with an energy bank consisting of a 120 kWh lithium battery pack – means the yacht can operate in ‘hotel mode’ for up to eight hours at anchor without using the generator. Ferretti says this means an 80 per cent saving on fuel and a corresponding reduction in CO2 emissions during typical average use of the yacht from May to September.

In response to recent concerns around a potential connection between lithium-ion batteries and fires, Ferretti Yachts has custom-designed an innovative fire system – certified by RINA – for the boat’s lithium batteries.

The battery pack is in the engine room, in two watertight steel containers fitted with temperature monitoring sensors. If a potential fire is detected, the control unit activates a pump that sends seawater directly into the battery racks. There is also a ventilation system – separate from the fire system – that helps keep the battery temperature under control.
