Owner Experience Review
Owners and charter operators treat the CRAFT 70fromFerretti Yachtsas a practical family flybridge yacht that also works well for crewed day-charter. Typical layouts deliver four en-suite cabins plus separate crew space, a spacious salon with a dedicated dining area and cherry-wood finish, a big flybridge sun area, and a large swim platform. In practice, that supports family cruising and up to eight guests on charter, which aligns with how the model is widely marketed and used.
On the water, performance and feel vary with engine package and refit history. Broker and charter records commonly show a comfortable cruise around 22–26 knots with top speeds up to roughly 28–32 knots, while many charter operators run at about 10 knots to keep fuel predictable. Listings often describe a smooth, pleasant ride; several refitted boats report Seakeeper gyrostabilizers added to reduce roll both underway and at anchor.
Ownership feedback reflects the age profile of many examples (1997 model year is common). Power is often MTU twins (e.g., 1150 hp) or Caterpillar 3412s, and recent refit files mention major work on turbos and injection pumps alongside upgrades like Seakeeper, electrical improvements, and new watermakers—enhancements that raise comfort but add complexity and cost. Some Ferretti owners also complain about tight service access—"You have to dismantle half the interior of a room to access maintenance regular items that fail"—so reviewing survey and refit records is advisable.
Pros and Cons
- Family-friendly 4-cabin layout with separate crew, suitable for private cruising or eight-guest charters.
- Smooth ride, with many examples reporting Seakeeper retrofits that reduce roll underway and at anchor.
- Flexible operating profile: cruise at 22–26 knots or run economically around 10 knots for charter-style days.
- Many examples are 1997-vintage and typically require significant recommissioning or refit.
- Maintenance access can be challenging in places, with owner reports of needing to dismantle interior panels for routine service.
- Added systems from refits (gyro, electrical, watermaker) improve comfort but raise service complexity and cost.
