The Ferretti 720: When 74 Feet Feels Like 80

Quick Verdict
- The engine choice is the biggest single decision on this boat: standard twin MAN V8 1200s give a published 28 knots flat out and 24 at cruise, while the optional V12 1400s take those to 32 and 28 — four knots of cruise, where most options at this size buy you one or two
- Four guest cabins plus a separate crew cabin at 73'10", so eight guests aboard does not mean someone loses a door or shares a passageway with the crew
- An 18'4" beam on a 5'11" draft — wide enough for a full-beam master, shallow enough for the Bahamas and most of the Med's better anchorages
- 1,215 US gallons of fuel and 48,000 kg unladen — how far that takes you depends on the engine option and your throttle hand, so settle range at the sea trial with the tanks measured
Our Take
The decision that matters most on a 720 gets made before the boat is built, and it is not the interior. Ferretti offers it with standard twin MAN V8 1200s — 28 knots flat out, 24 at cruise — or optional V12 1400s that lift those to 32 and 28. Four knots of cruise is a wide spread for an engine option; on most boats this size you are paying for one or two. If you run long legs on a schedule, that is the difference between comfortable and rushed. If you cruise in day hops and like to be anchored by five, the standard boat is the smarter buy and you will not spend the summer missing the knots.
The other thing worth pointing at is the crew cabin — specifically, that there is one of them. Four guest cabins and a single crew berth at seventy-four feet tells you exactly how Ferretti expects this boat to be used: a captain, perhaps a mate on the longer trips, and an owner who still wants the helm on a good afternoon. That is a genuinely useful size. Big enough that eight guests aboard is comfortable rather than an endurance test, small enough that you are not running a payroll. If your plan involves three permanent crew, you have already outgrown this boat and should be looking at the 800.
Range on the 720 is a sea-trial question, not a brochure one. There are 1,215 gallons aboard and 48,000 kilos to move, and how far that gets you depends on which engines you ordered and how hard you push them. Settle it with the tanks measured, and get the burn figures in writing. Do that, and the 720 is the right boat for the owner who has outgrown a sixty-something and wants four cabins, a proper flybridge and the option of real speed, without stepping up to something that has to be crewed before it can leave the dock. The 670 is the same idea a size down; the 800 is where you go when the crew becomes permanent.

Frequently Asked Questions
What interior options does the Ferretti 720 offer?
Two interior moods, both drawn by the Italian studio IDEAEITALIA: Classic, built on soft harmonic tones and light contrasts, and Contemporary, which uses cooler tones and stronger colour.
This is a genuine choice offered across nearly the whole Ferretti range rather than a 720-specific option, and it is worth seeing both in person. Photography flatters the Contemporary scheme; the Classic tends to wear better in a boat you will own for years.
How fast is the Ferretti 720?
The Ferretti 720 reaches 32 knots with the optional MAN V12 1400s and cruises at 28. On the standard MAN V8 1200s it makes 28 knots with a 24-knot cruise.
That matches the 670 below it despite eight more feet and seven more tonnes, which tells you the 720's hull is doing real work. It is one of the newest designs in the Flybridge range.
Is the Ferretti 720 new?
Yes. The 720 is one of three models Ferretti currently flags as new in its Flybridge range, alongside the 800 and the 940.
It replaces an earlier 720 in the line-up and carries the current design language: 73'10" LOA on an 18'4" beam, 48 tonnes unladen, and the choice of Classic or Contemporary interior moods by IDEAEITALIA that runs across the range.
How does the Ferretti 720 compare to the 800?
The 800 is six feet longer and carries three crew berths against the 720's one — that is the difference that changes how you own the boat.
Both carry four guest cabins and both do around 31-32 knots on their optional engines. But the 720 is built for an owner who drives, and the 800 is built for an owner with a captain and a stew living aboard. Decide which of those you are before you compare price.
How many cabins and crew does the Ferretti 720 have?
Four guest cabins and one crew berth. That crew number is the spec to notice: at 73'10" the 720 offers four guest cabins but accommodation for only a single crew member.
Ferretti clearly still expects an owner-driver here, with day help rather than a live-aboard captain and stew. If you want a full crewed operation, the 800 carries three crew — more than the larger 860 or 940 do.
