Owner Experience Review

Owners of the 780fromFerretti Yachtsoften run the boat for family cruising and owner-operated weekends, with several examples also placed into crewed day-charter to offset costs. It suits coastal and regional passages, with a practical 300+ nm range at cruising speeds commonly cited for Mediterranean-style itineraries. At the helm, fly-by-wire steering and MAN V12 power make the780notably agile with strong acceleration; depending on the 1400 or 1550 hp options, owners and testers report typical cruise around 24–27 knots and top speeds in the 28–31 knot band.

On board, reviewers frequently praise the “acres of glass” feel: a bright, open saloon and large hull windows that keep the interior airy. The master suite is reported as very roomy and well insulated; an expert trial measured about 66 dB(A) in the master at roughly 20 knots, which is quiet for the class. Flexible lower-deck plans are a theme—standard four cabins are common, but brokers and owners note conversions to two-cabin entertainment-led layouts. Dedicated crew access and separation of owner areas contribute to privacy and liveaboard ergonomics.

At sea, the moderate-vee hull meets head seas with a firm, confidence-inspiring impact, but trials also note the boat can be prone to rolling in a beam sea even with a zero-speed stabiliser engaged. Service-wise, engine-room access via a cockpit hatch and a watertight door helps routine work, yet the MAN V12s demand regular, manufacturer-interval servicing and parts/overhauls can be costly. The machinery space is well equipped, but the complexity of systems often calls for professional yard time, and some owners have criticised the consistency of certain components and replacement parts.

Pros and Cons

• Agile handling and strong acceleration thanks to fly-by-wire steering and MAN V12 power.
• Bright saloon with large windows and a well-insulated master around 66 dB(A) at roughly 20 knots.
• Practical 300+ nm range at cruise for coastal and regional passagemaking.
• Can be prone to rolling in a beam sea even with a zero-speed stabiliser engaged.
• MAN V12 servicing and parts are expensive, and complex systems often need professional yard time.
• Some owners report inconsistent component quality and premature replacements.
