A Ferretti yacht purchase requires more than filtering by length and year. REQUEST VIP can turn the buyer's cruising plan into a confidential search brief, compare authorised listings on consistent evidence and coordinate independent technical and legal work. Current yachts, asking prices, seller authority and the concierge's role must be confirmed before an introduction.
Key Facts
- Ferretti Yachts currently presents Flybridge and Infynito families with distinct space and cruising concepts.
- Ferretti Yachts is a specific brand; Ferretti Group, Custom Line, Pershing and Riva are not interchangeable search labels.
- Service history, systems access and crew workflow can matter more than superficial cosmetic condition.
Ferretti Models, Ranges and Used-Yacht Context
Ferretti Yachts' official site reviewed in September 2026 shows Flybridge models from the 500 through larger 1000 variants, alongside Infynito 80 and 90. Recent additions and revisions shown by the builder include the 720, 800 and 940. The 1000 has a published length overall of 30.13 metres, but a buyer must not apply current brochure data to an earlier hull without checking its build sheet.
Flybridge models suit buyers who value a raised exterior helm and social deck. Infynito takes a different approach to protected, flexible living areas. Each hull still has its own engines, equipment, stabilisation, crew layout and history. The used market also includes discontinued configurations.
Map the real programme: owner-operated weekends, crewed seasons, longer passages or lawful mixed use. Check berth limits, tender storage, service routes, machinery access and noise at the intended speed. Interior volume has little value if the yacht cannot use preferred harbours or support the crew.
Brokerage, Acquisition and Off-Market Opportunities
For each Ferretti, log the HIN or CIN, registered name, build year, exact variant, principal dimensions and machinery serials. Add substantiated engine hours, registry, class or coding position, present berth, documentary tax position, advertised price and check date. Confirm it is a Ferretti Yachts model rather than another group brand, and match photographs to the hull.
Ask in writing who represents the seller, who would represent the buyer, which entity receives commission and whether any dual role exists. A discreet or off-market yacht can be discussed only with the owner's or authorised broker's permission and after buyer qualification. It must not be presented as standing inventory.
The Ferretti yacht charter overview can help a buyer test preferences for deck flow and crew service, while the main yachts for sale page explains the wider acquisition framework. The flybridge yacht guide offers another way to define deck and helm priorities. Charter experience is useful research, not proof that an equivalent yacht is for sale.
Technical Inspection and Records
Appoint an independent surveyor and agree scope before the inspection period. Work may include haul-out, hull, machinery diagnostics, fluid sampling, generators, stabilisers, steering, hydraulics, air conditioning, navigation, safety systems and inventory. Engine specialists may attend separately.
Maintenance access and preventive-work records deserve close attention. Reconcile engine and generator hours with invoices and service intervals. Document refits, software changes, paint, repairs and insurance events when available. A sea trial should reproduce normal loads and observe temperatures, vibration, steering, stabilisation, alarms and noise.
Survey findings have commercial effect only through the signed contract. It should say who may attend, what counts as acceptance, when a buyer can reject, and how defects or missing inventory are treated. The surveyor reports technical condition; the buyer and advisers decide whether the risk and cost remain acceptable.
Contract, Title, Tax and Flag
The sale agreement should identify the yacht and parties, price, deposit route, conditions, deadlines, documents, delivery place, inventory and transfer of title and risk. Counsel should verify ownership, corporate authority and registry searches for mortgages or other encumbrances. No deposit percentage, escrow method or closing timetable is universal, so the executed agreement controls.
VAT or import status requires documentary analysis. A European flag, EU marina or statement in an advertisement does not prove that tax has been correctly paid or remains applicable to the proposed transaction. Ownership, residence, place of delivery, private or commercial use and future movements can change the analysis. Maritime, tax and customs advisers should review the actual structure; REQUEST VIP does not replace them.
Choose a flag after considering eligibility, cruising, finance, insurance, coding, manning and use. Re-registration may require deletion evidence, surveys and technical changes. Before delivery, budget for management, crew, berth, servicing and accepted defects.
This concierge is separate from both Ferretti Yachts and Ferretti Group. Neither company has appointed, endorsed or approved REQUEST VIP as an official partner; their names only describe the purchase brief.
