Ferretti Infynito 90: The Explorer Yacht That Redraws What a Flybridge Can Be

There is a moment — somewhere offshore, running at 12 knots into a darkening sky, engines barely audible, sea stretching unbroken to the horizon — when a yacht stops being transportation and becomes something else entirely. A place. A perspective. A way of being on the water that is difficult to leave behind.
The Ferretti Infynito 90 was designed for that moment. Launched at the 2023 Cannes Yachting Festival, it represents a deliberate pivot for a builder that spent four decades mastering planing flybridge yachts. The result is an 88-foot, 6-inch tri-deck delivering more interior volume, more exterior living space, and more range than almost anything in its class — quietly enough that Yachting Magazine recorded 52 decibels at the helm at 20 knots, the ambient noise of a library.
Who It's For
This is not a weekend boat or a marina showpiece. The Infynito 90 is built for the owner who wants to use it — the Mediterranean in late September, the Adriatic in November, two weeks in the Greek islands with family aboard. Its buyer is likely 45 to 60, entrepreneurial, and accustomed to managing complexity. They may already own a smaller vessel and have outgrown it in ambition rather than size. They want range and comfort in equal measure, four proper ensuite cabins, and an interior that looks like a home. The BOAT International review noted the Infynito 90 earned a Design & Innovation Award in the Outstanding Lifestyle Feature category, which tells you something about the buyer Ferretti had in mind.
Design & Layout
Exterior design is the work of architect Filippo Salvetti; interiors come from Ideaeitalia's Davide Bernardini and Alessio Battistini. Naval architecture is by the Ferretti Group Engineering Department with strategic oversight from Piero Ferrari's product committee. The result registers as intentional rather than assembled.
The exterior is deliberately chunkier than Ferretti's planing line — bluff bow, forward-raked bridge windows, pronounced buttresses. Motor Boat & Yachting called it "imposing rather than particularly pretty," which is fair and beside the point. The design creates nearly 100 square meters of exterior deck space — roughly 50 percent more than the segment average — and 140 square meters of interior, 25 percent above market norms. Volume was the brief. Salvetti delivered it.
The defining feature is the All-Season Terrace: a partially enclosed foredeck lounge sheltered by an overhead structure extending from the bridge windows to the bow. The louvered roof opens, tilts, or seals fully. Owners configure it as a Jacuzzi with sofas, a panoramic cocktail bar, or a sunbathing lounge. An electrically operated bow window connects it directly to the main deck salon. BOAT International's reviewer described the feeling inside as being "like you are inside a dinosaur skeleton" — a compliment from a publication not prone to hyperbole.
Below, the main deck runs as an uninterrupted open-plan space: aft lounge, galley amidships, forward dining area with views on three sides through floor-to-ceiling windows. Owners can alternatively configure the forward section as a full-beam main-deck master suite. The sky lounge above — the first fully enclosed upper-deck lounge in Ferretti Yachts history — wraps in glass and connects to the upper aft deck. Interiors come in two moods: Classic (warm earthy tones) and Contemporary (glowing woods, sea-inspired fabrics). The lower deck carries a full-beam master stateroom with walk-in wardrobe and double vanity, plus a VIP double, a guest double, and a twin.
A Buyer's Story
Consider Marcus, 54, a private equity principal based in Miami with a second home in Porto Cervo. He has owned a 70-foot planing flybridge for six years — fast, flashy, and increasingly frustrating on longer passages. A two-week summer cruise with his wife and two adult children means refueling every day and a half and an interior that feels crowded with luggage aboard.
A broker mentions the Infynito 90 almost as an aside. He spends three hours on a demo hull in Fort Lauderdale. What strikes him first is the silence. What strikes him second is the forward terrace — a private, sheltered lounge facing the sea. His wife, who has tolerated rather than loved previous yachts, sits in it for forty minutes without moving.
They spec the 1,800 hp engines, the Contemporary interior mood, a panoramic bar on the forward terrace, and an optional gym in the lower-deck multipurpose room. Eight months later, their first cruise is Sardinia to Croatia: 11 days, 900 nautical miles, two fuel stops.
Performance
Two engine options are available: twin MAN V12s at 1,550 hp each, or twin MAN V12s at 1,800 hp. Most buyers specify the more powerful option. YachtBuyer's sea trial returned a top speed of 22 to 23 knots with a comfortable cruise at 17 knots. Slow to 12 knots and range extends to 1,200 nautical miles on 3,302 US gallons of diesel. Pull back to 10 knots and Ferretti's published figures put range above 1,400 nautical miles — enough to reach the Canary Islands from the Côte d'Azur without stopping.
Seakeeping is equipped seriously: two Seakeeper gyroscopes (G9 and G18), Sleipner Vector Fins, and Humphree Interceptors. A sea trial in imperfect conditions off Venice found the yacht remained perfectly stable with three stabilizers engaged. Fly-by-wire steering is light and self-centering, with the keel section providing genuine bite in turns for a vessel displacing 111 tonnes laden.
Sustainability is built into the systems. The F.S.E.A. package includes a 120kW lithium-ion battery bank fed by a 7kW solar array integrated into the foredeck roof. During the yacht's maiden voyage — a four-day, 1,100-nautical-mile run from Cattolica to Cannes — the delivery captain ran on alternators and solar alone, never starting the generators. At anchor, the system sustains the Seakeepers and air conditioning for up to seven hours without gensets.
Ownership
New Infynito 90 pricing starts at approximately €7.82 million excluding taxes for a base specification, with a fully optioned build approaching €9 million, according to Motor Boat & Yachting. In the pre-owned market, a 2025 example listed at €7,700,000 tax unpaid through Allied Yachting — suggesting early hulls are holding value within a narrow range of their original purchase price. The World Yachts Trophies recognized the Infynito 90 with both the Best Innovation and Innovation Trophy (80–98 ft) awards in 2023, endorsements that carry weight at resale.
Ferretti Yachts operates within the broader Ferretti Group alongside Riva, Pershing, and Itama — a stable of brands that has reinforced Italian marine standards over decades. RINA certification (B + F + A1 Sound Emission) accompanies the hull, built to Category A ocean-going classification in GRP with FSC-certified lamellar teak throughout. Running costs align with comparable European tri-decks in the 85–95 foot range.
For the buyer who plans to use this yacht across seasons and distances, the Infynito 90 offers something its competitors have not yet matched: explorer-grade range, genuine acoustic refinement, and that forward terrace — a feature that changes the conversation about what 88 feet can offer.
