The Ferretti 670: Built for the Owner Who Wants to Actually Use the Boat

You're not buying a 67-footer to impress the dock. You're buying it because you want to run to Bimini on Friday, anchor in privacy, and still have the range to make it to the Abacos without white-knuckling the fuel gauge. The Ferretti 670 is built for that owner—the one who plans trips, not photo ops.

This is a three-cabin flybridge that prioritizes real-world usability over showroom theatrics. It's fast enough to outrun weather, spacious enough to host without feeling cramped, and efficient enough that you're not constantly calculating burn rates. Ferretti redesigned this model in 2024, and the updates weren't cosmetic. They fixed what needed fixing and kept what worked.

Who It's For

The 670 makes sense for the experienced cruiser who's done the 50-foot apprenticeship and knows exactly what they need in a larger platform. You've already learned that more space doesn't mean more headaches if the boat is designed correctly. You want a full-beam owner's suite, a real galley, and a flybridge that doesn't require a crew to manage.

This is not a boat for the first-time buyer stepping up from a 38-foot express. The systems are more complex, the operating costs are higher, and the learning curve is real. But if you've been running boats for a decade and you're ready for something that can handle longer trips without compromise, the 670 delivers.

It's also ideal for the owner-operator who occasionally brings crew but doesn't want to depend on them. The helm is intuitive, the sightlines are excellent, and the joystick docking makes close-quarters maneuvering manageable even solo. The crew cabin is there when you need it, but it's not a requirement for operation.

Design & Layout: Function Over Flash

Ferretti's 2024 redesign focused on glass and volume. The hullside windows are larger and more aggressive, which translates to better natural light belowdecks and improved sightlines from the salon. The knife-blade window design aft isn't just styling—it visually lowers the profile and makes the boat feel less top-heavy at the dock.

The salon is open and functional. The galley sits to starboard, abaft the helm, with Siemens appliances and stone countertops that can handle real meal prep. This isn't a kitchenette. It's a workspace that makes sense if you're provisioning for a week or cooking for guests underway.

The full-beam owner's suite is amidships, seven steps down from the salon. It's accessed through a single door to port, which keeps noise and foot traffic separated from the sleeping area. The berth is flanked by hullside glass, and there's a walk-in closet to port and a full head with a walk-in shower to starboard. The layout is logical and doesn't waste space on unnecessary hallways or awkward transitions.

The VIP forward has the berth set low, creating headroom that makes the cabin feel larger than the square footage suggests. The third guest cabin is to starboard with side-by-side berths—practical for kids or friends who don't need a queen. The crew cabin is far aft, isolated from guest spaces.

Performance: Speed as a Tool, Not a Spec

The 670 comes with two MAN V8 options: 1,000 hp or 1,200 hp. The difference isn't just top speed—it's operational flexibility. The 1,200 hp setup gets you a 32-knot top speed and a 28-knot cruise. That's the difference between making a weather window and missing it.

Ferretti publishes a 28-knot cruise on the optional V8 1200s and 25 on the standard 1000s, but no fuel-consumption figure. Fuel capacity is 1,004 gallons; the yard publishes no range figure. It's not transatlantic, but it's enough for Bahamas island-hopping or running the Florida coast without constant fuel stops.

The boat planes at 1,500 rpm and hits wide-open throttle in 35 seconds. It's responsive without being twitchy, and the Zipwake trim system keeps the ride flat even in following seas. The Seakeeper NG6 gyrostabilizer is optional but worth the cost if you're spending time at anchor or running in beam seas.

Hard-over turns are tight and controlled, with minimal heel and no speed bleed. The Xenta joystick and Side-Power thrusters make docking straightforward, even in crosswinds. This is a boat that handles like it weighs less than it does.

Ownership Conversation: What It Actually Costs

The 670 displaces 106,483 pounds wet, which means it's not cheap to run. Fuel burn at cruise is manageable, but you're still looking at $400 to $600 per trip depending on distance and fuel prices. Maintenance on twin MANs is straightforward but not inexpensive—budget $15,000 to $20,000 annually for routine service, more if you're running hard.

The Seakeeper, Zipwake, and tropical air-conditioning system are all optional, but they're also the difference between a boat you use and a boat you tolerate. Factor those into the purchase price, not as afterthoughts.

Crew is optional, but if you're planning extended trips or hosting regularly, a part-time captain and steward will make the experience significantly better. That's another $3,000 to $5,000 per week, depending on the arrangement.

Resale on Ferretti models in this size range has been stable, particularly for well-maintained examples with desirable options. The 670 is new enough that the market hasn't fully established pricing trends, but the brand's reputation and the boat's performance should support values better than some competitors.
