Is this the world's coolest crossover craft? | Ferretti Infynito 80 Trial | Motor Boat & Yachting

[@JyttesTrailCamera]

Interesting how nobody gives a damn that somebody is trying to film the yacht. Good job doing it under those conditions!

[@stevefitchett6193]

The people who might buy it aren't going to care about a guy filming it. They are the important people on the boat.

[@RRAdmiralen]

If Ferretti wanted a more positive presentation - avoiding rude people - they could easily have done so by restricting access during the filming.

[@stevefitchett6193]

@RRAdmiralen the people on board were more likely buyers than anyone watching this video. They cater for the spenders not the viewers. I'd do the same in their position. They like to have their products online but not at the expense of actual buyers. There is normally a press day before the show opens for these things. If I wanted to buy a yacht and was told I couldn't view it becuase a youtuber wanted a video I'd take my money elsewhere. You don't get that wealthy hanging around for people.

[@FlyWithMe_666]

Surprisingly many “compromises” for a 80ft yacht. Tiny galley (cook for 20 people?), underwhelming VIP cabin with no windows, strange seating arrangement in the owner’s cabin, small and unsocial helm, dungeon-like crew quarters with no social space. I don’t really get the design choices of this model.

[@x...CrankyOldMan...x]

tiny fuel capacity. minimal range.

[@FLGurl]

That bow section is great. I think they could tweek out the rest of the aread moving aft - galley, helm main salon, VIP and crew area. Definitely need higher windows in the helm area. Galley is way too small - agreed. Hopefully they will make the improvements based on feedback they are getting. There were a lot of people going through the vessel and you really did a great job navigating through all that! 🍷

60 years in the sun, your skin will appreciate the shade!

[@matthewlynch5645]

God there are some rude people around....!!!!

[@johnschieffelin3226]

Thanks for the tour Alex. Hard to weave through all the show-goers but you did a fine job. The covered bow section is glorious, but as you point out the Ferretti falls short in some critical areas. The galley is tiny for a ship's complement of eight guests; the wheelhouse is suitable for a solo helmsman and no one else; the crew quarters with a shared wet head and vertical ladder access are pretty barbaric in this day and age. But I enjoy seeing this yacht that makes innovative, thoughtful use of a bow area considered useless for socializing.

[@RandomGuyRandomNumber]

At anchor or in harbour, almost every new yacht has some form of awning to cover the foredeck seating area (usually with carbon fibre poles and dedicated steel sockets moulded into the gunwales). At sea, that open bow area is windy, cold and usually wet, and has the worst motion of any part of the boat. So what, exactly, does one gain from covering it over with a heavy roof that makes that motion even worse and sticking a sofa where the ground gear should be so guests are right on top of the anchor chain and windlasses instead of safely away from the most dangerous part of the boat ?

[@seanogden927]

Got to admit I am not a fan of this yacht, so many compromises on the space for the helm, the galley, the VIP cabin and especially the crew area. I am sure it could be arranged better. Thank you for the tour Alex.

[@Kris-ym2zr]

Agreed, the execution of features like the L-seat didn't seem to be appropriate or practical.

[@maryholder3795]

Interesting the bow in particular, I appreciate it as i have to be careful in the sun. Cockpit is a sociable area, and comfortable. Plus for me plenty of shade. Flybridge plenty of room to design the space ss you want. Internal space salon area is restful, comfortable with plenty of storage. But the galley too small, even with a view. Shame about the VIP cabin windows, feels closed in and dark. Rest of cabins are good in particular I like the master cabin. As I said an interesting there are somethings I'd mentioned that i think needs looking at. As a debut model interesting get people talking. .

[@triedproven9908]

Engine room is spacious. 👍

[@darthkek1953]

If you want a style of this boat including Italian styling I think the Arcadia Sherpa XL is way above this. Four glorious master cabins, acres of outdoor space, double hidden tenders (jet rib plus jet ski).

[@Paulwilliams203]

It’s still a gorgeous looking boat

[@alexsmith3945]

Fully agreed Paul.

[@origin178]

This ugly tug boat was sadly inspired by the Princess X80! Angles and lines and bits and pieces all over the place, no flow or elegance.

[@alexsmith3945]

I'm surprised by that, because the aesthetic, particularly from the bow, is actually my favourite part about this boat. There are certainly compromises in terms of the deck arrangements but I reckon it looks quite dynamic by the standards of the sector.

[@paraweir]

I would like to have seen the VIP cabins bathroom but we seem to have missed that... Too many compromises on this boat though...

[@colintraveller]

Who actually designs that .....?? ,Are they ever asked how often have they been at sea ??? be it working on a Boat etc ??

[@JyttesTrailCamera]

I find most crew quarters to be pathetic, but these take the prize in being horrible. Add the 'sort of galley' and the squished helm... good luck finding crew for this one.

[@SirAdamMeek]

Nice!

[@TGoff-fz7yh]

One positive thing is, if you are on board you don’t have to look at the exterior.

[@pageant1fd]

That is , in my little experience the worst layout ever. Forward deck , bridge, galley etc etc. is ridiculously designed. Thanks for the tour…….I think !😉

[@timessix8434]

Looks like a Princess X80… 😂

[@alexsmith3945]

The Princess X Class does seem to have been quite a powerful source of inspiration over the last couple of years.

[@septopus3516]

They almost always clear the boat for Nick from aqhlcs... This was annoying to watch

[@alexsmith3945]

Yeah, I get that. I'm afraid show debuts are rarely as controllable as we would like.

[@jorgelongoria1098]

Where’s the tender?

[@rogerreed905]

Very ordinary crew space . . . Id rather have less guests and more crew space . . . Happy crew happy boat . . . 👍👋NZ🇳🇿🍻twa

[@ironichumorist]

someone educate me. why dont the chaps cleaning the glazing use a squeegee like professional window cleaner. clean massive swaths of glass in seconds. well don, alex, ignoring all the people in the way and getting on with it. kudos to feretti for having the first everr useful size sink on the flybridge kitchen unit. amazing to see a sink bigger than the size of a childs hand. the bridge is unlivable. as with most european yachts this is designed for an owner with crew that is not really well looked after. compare this to the bridge of an 80 fot nordhavn which is intended for a liveaboard owner operator or check the crew spaces on a hampton or horizon yacht where crew are very well cared for.have to say shame on feretti for not making press time to advertise their product for them. and sorrry, but no. as a boat with "explorer yacht pretensions" throwing in a few lithium batteries that dont even let you run your Aircon over night does not make it an explorer yacht.

[@jussil5762]

Looks nice but very bad design details. Galley is ridiculous, vip-cabin horrible and helm station one of the worst I have ever seen in this kind of boat. How can they produce this? To whom?

[@nicbennett6554]

Good effort Alex on such a crowded boat. Personally I think it’s a terrible design with a poor allocation of space, especially the tiny helm and galley.

[@maximlovett9652]

Absolute nonsense design.

[@keithtallent6713]

Ugly IMHO !

[@Joe_1sr9]

Ridiculous design over function…..

[@Ronf-x5t]

Very poor design in many respects in my view a bit of a waste of 80 feet.

[@anthonynicholas1165]

This isn't a boat tour, it's crowd control, lol, obviously Ferretti isn't interested in the publicity, i suggest in future you don't give them any, as to the title, as always, if you have to ask the answer is no, besides, Ferretti is always vastly overpriced and underbuilt, Bering make far better boats, as do many other yards, so many things wrong on this one, but no surprise, hey it's a Ferretti.

[@Steve-Cross]

It looks like a case of design over substance. Not at all practical. These are experienced yacht builders. I know they can do better. This one gets a big thumbs down from me, though. 👎

[@Bhh-j2s]

yikes.

[@AHarker100]

Don't talk rubbish. These are just to show off.

[@johnnierainey01]

An ill-conceived and poorly considered design...sorry, no likey!

[@lisaevans5840]

I have to say, I'm not a fan, of this yaght.

[@Neretva-w9o]

That (fixed) Bow cover/shade totally unnecessary. Why?! Ugly

[@RandomGuyRandomNumber]

A full width locker open to the aft deck that you have to be a contortionist to access that is supposedly "relatively practical [...] for quick grab gear - seamanship equipment and so on" (timestamp 2.02)... Tells you everything you need to know about this travesty of a boat, and illustrates the absence of any journalistic ability or editorial integrity at MB&Y. Someone could put a sundial on one of these boats and be praised to the rafters for their ecological use of tradition to update the navigation equipment. Stop encouraging these idiots to design ever more stupid ways to show off how little they know about boats.
