Technological innovation

Quality and innovative technology are the foundations of a production that has always matched high performance with design, form with function. Within the Group, a specialized team around 90 people follow the creation of each vessel, from the project phase to the construction, assisted by the AYT Division - Advanced Yacht Technology - that deals with new concepts and fine-tuning extremely innovative solutions.

This is where integrated monitoring systems Gi8 and Naviop were developed, which enable users to control yacht operation on a single screen, as well as the ARG– Anti Rolling Gyro – stabilisation system, a gyroscopic device developed in conjunction with Mitsubishi Heavy Industries which reduces yacht roll by over 50%, to the advantage of on-board comfort.

In order to guarantee seaworthiness and on-board safety, the AYT uses a powerful calculation system, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), to assess the kinematics of the particles of fluid underneath the hull. Smart Command Easy Dock and Auto Troll produced by ZF have been added to these solutions, guaranteeing comprehensive yacht management.

Last, but by no means least, is Ferretti’s exclusive ZF SteerCommand system, which replaces traditional hydraulic steerage, simplifying the manoeuvrability and management of the yacht - in complete safety and at any speed - to levels which were previously unknown. Moreover, Ferretti yachts use the new generation of common-rail engines, which guarantee a top performance whilst still respecting high environmental standards in terms of sound pollution (ISO 14509).

A new, important technological innovation: FAIR (Ferretti Analysis Integral Recorder), the very first integrated system for monitoring the performance of group yachts during testing, enabling not only simultaneous acquisition of operating data, but also their analysis and processing.

In fact, FAIR, as in “right” and “truthful”, enables testers to determine whether a yacht complies with strict tolerance parameters, both immediately and clearly. Moreover, it shows if she presents operating faults or deviations compared to the standards of the model and the project curves, without, in any way, influencing test times and procedures. This system will thus enable to determine, both truthfully and correctly, the conformity of its yachts to the specifications set down by the AYT (Advanced Yacht Technology), guaranteeing the client the total reliability of the data measured.
