The new yacht, the first white-hulled 124-footer, is set to sail off at the end of March to be delivered in Turkey, one of the leading markets for the Ferretti Group.
With its 37.80m (124ft) length and 7.35m (24ft 1 in) beam, this is the largest yacht ever produced by Ferretti Custom Line and represents a significant upturn for the shipyard.
Ferretti Custom Line 124 #4 boasts an entirely white hull and onboard spaces fully customised to the tastes of the owner, who wanted to add an original touch to the interior. Ferretti says that such customisation possibilities are one of the distinguishing features of Ferretti Custom Line, a brand that has always set the owner’s wishes as its main priority, aiming to offer its customers a “truly tailored sea experience”.
"We are particularly satisfied with the launch and the forthcoming delivery of this model in Turkey," explained Karin Paggi, Ferretti Custom Line's EMEA sales manager. "Turkey is indeed one of the leading markets for the Ferretti Group in the whole Mediterranean basin, where we have been present for over 15 years with many Ferretti Custom Line models that have always been widely appreciated".
The exterior of the yacht features racy, slender, elegant lines -- distinctive signs of all maxi yachts of the Ferretti Group brand -- further enhanced by a wide glazed surface along the main deck and by another functional and innovative solution at the height of the saloon: a system of glass surfaces that can be converted into sliding doors and a collapsible gunwale on both sides allowing exclusive private terraces overlooking the sea.
The spacious owner's suite is located at the bow on the main deck, where light and a feeling of openness is found courtesy of the glazing along both sides. This area is divided into a working zone and the bedroom, featuring a sepia-colour leather and gun barrel-colour frame Archibald armchair and footrest by Poltrona Frau. The cabin is completed by the bathroom with large shower, characterised by the exclusive materials selected by the owner and, particularly, by the single marble block used for the washbasin, further enriched by Fir taps and Dornbracht accessories.
The lower deck is divided into the guest area, to which access is gained through the passage beside the galley, and the crew quarters -- completely separated from the other private areas -- that can be reached from the staircase coming from the galley on the main deck.
The four guest cabins benefit from plenty of light thanks to the large upright-free hull glazing. The two VIP double cabins are located astern, while the two cabins with twin beds and Pullman beds can be found towards the bow. All cabins are ensuite with separate shower.
Functional solutions have also been implemented for the crew area layout: besides the galley with dinette, the crew quarters also feature a large storage-laundry room and a cabin with desk area for the captain. There is also a hostess cabin and, at the extreme bow, two twin cabins with bunk beds. Each cabin is fitted with a private head with shower.
The 124 is powered by two MTU 3184mhp or 3510mhp engines. The more powerful engines allow a cruising speed of 23.5 knots and a maximum speed of 27 knots. The latest generation electronics have also been implemented for the instrumentation ensuring on-board safety and comfort, such as the Furla.Net monitoring and control system and the four Mitsubishi ARG (Anti Rolling Gyro) stabilisers, installed exclusively on many Ferretti Group yachts, which reduce rolling by over 50 per cent.
