Owner Experience Review
Owners gravitate to the FERRETTI 780fromFerretti Yachtsfor family cruising, particularly in the US-version layout intended for a husband-and-wife team to run without a full-time skipper. Some examples are also placed into day-charter to offset running costs, while many are simply enjoyed for weekend leisure thanks to the expansive flybridge, foredeck lounge, and fold-down beach club. The interior draws consistent praise for its brightness and space—large glazing and hull windows flood the saloon and cabins with light, the full-beam master feels generous, and the builder offers flexible galley concepts (open US style or enclosed/sliding-partition) plus multiple lower-deck options including a four-cabin standard.
Underway, testers describe the boat as surprisingly agile for a 24 m flybridge, especially with the optional MAN 1,550 hp V12s, seeing about 30–31 knots at the top and a 20–27-knot cruising band. The moderate-vee hull softens head-on impacts and noise/vibration levels are low (around 66 dB(A) in the master at roughly 20 knots), but there is noticeable roll in a beam sea—many owners therefore specify Seakeeper or fin stabilizers. From about 1,600 rpm upward the driving experience becomes more involving and “fun” than expected for the size.
Ownership notes from listings and logs are pragmatic: small jobs like replacing rusted screws on the garage door’s hydraulic access panels and re-caulking, and on an older 2007 example repairs such as a garage-door hydraulic jack seal, cutlass-bearing renewal, shaft straightening/balancing, and several fiberglass fixes. Engine fit varies by year—newer boats commonly carry MAN V12s at 1,400 or 1,550 hp, while many earlier units have MTU 12V2000s—so parts, service, and running costs differ accordingly. Access to the crew spaces and engine room is via concealed routes in the cockpit with dedicated hatches on many layouts, and while high-end options like joystick docking, DPS, Seakeeper, and Humphree fins add real capability, they also increase service complexity and cost.
Pros and Cons
- Agile performance for a 24 m flybridge, with optional MAN 1,550 hp V12s delivering about 30–31 knots and an engaging helm.
- Bright, spacious interior with large glazing, a praised full-beam master, and flexible open/enclosed galley layouts.
- Entertainer-friendly decks: big flybridge bar, modular sunpads, and a fold-down beach club with tender garage.
- Noticeable roll in a beam sea; many owners specify Seakeeper or fin stabilizers to counter it.
- Optional high-end systems (joystick, DPS, Seakeeper, Humphree fins) add service complexity and ongoing cost.
- Older used examples show typical maintenance needs such as garage-door hydraulics, cutlass bearings, shaft work, and fiberglass repairs.
