Manufacturer Provided Description
The Ferretti Yachts 550 is the result of the cooperation between AYT&D, the Group’s research, development and style department, and Studio Zuccon International Project. It is characterised by a brand-new hull, and equally brand-new are the layout of the engine room and that of the main deck, as well as the interior arrangement. In addition to this, special care has been devoted not only to guaranteeing maximum production efficiency and effectiveness, but also to optimising the yacht''s weight balance, thereby ensuring great performances even if small, light and low-consumption engines are installed.
The profile of the boat is characterised by sober, streamlined, slender lines, blending together refined elegance and a sporty character. The uninterrupted glazing running across the main deck further enhances the boat’s rakish profile, and is complemented by a large, aerodynamic flybridge. Three large glazed surfaces - the cabins windows - can be found on both sides of the hull. Each has flush frameless fibreglass portholes resulting in very clean lines.
This yacht’s interior spaces and onboard equipment allows it to be on an equal standing with much larger yachts. Many outdoor relaxation areas have been conceived: the forward dinette area, furnished with facing sofas and a table; the large sunpad on the deckhouse; and the cockpit, featuring a large aft sofa and a table. On the flybridge, the storage cabinet and the restyled, small-size pilot station instrument panel allow to extend the relaxation areas - both the sunpad and the comfortable dining area - even more.
The Group’s Centro Stile has found very appealing décor solutions, adding elegance to all onboard ambiances and preserving the range’s unique Made-in-Italy style and charm. The cockpit and the aft area of the salon stand out for an impressive décor consistency. Indeed, the teak flooring found in the cockpit continues indoor, in the galley and the entrance, visually and ''physically'' harmonising these different environments. This flawless continuity is also ensured by the new three-section glazed door that can be folded to starboard and concealed behind the stairs leading to the flybridge. The perfect harmony between form and content, aesthetics and functionality is completed by the ceiling panel decoration, which is the same in the salon and outdoor, creating as a sort of ''style mirror'' that welcomes all guests at best. The cockpit thus becomes an extension of the interiors, which can be opened completely onto the sea on all sides.
Flybridge
Boasting a streamlined hard top covering the entire deck, the flybridge is dominated by a large C-shaped sofa surrounding the table, which can be extended and moved around. The backrest towards the pilot station can be tilted to convert the part of the sofa facing the cruising direction into a double seat for the captain and a co-pilot. The bar unit is located starboard.
Salon
On a raised level just ahead the pantry and the galley are the salon and dining areas, featuring a C-shaped sofa and a dining table to starboard, as well as two more facing sofas on the left, with a coffee table standing between them and a cabinet hosting the TV screen, which can be concealing upon request. Beyond this area, the new-concept pilot station can be found, fitted with backlit details, sliding backrest, and height-adjustable seat.
Galley
The galley is aft and down a step, there is a covered sink and four-burner Siemens electric cooktop and oven inspire your inner chef in a U-shaped countertop arrangement that opens aft. Refrigeration and freezers are concealed opposite in a credenza, A three-panel, sliding glass and stainless steel door opens this area wide to the cockpit, where an aft settee with table awaits al fresco dining.
Master Stateroom
A magnificent full-beam master stateroom located amidships with good headroom of 76½ inches is completed by a dinette furnished with a table and two facing seats, a walk-in wardrobe and a vanity set/desk with a pouf.
The ensuite bathroom is fitted with a second full glazing that ensures great brightness with a beautifully tiled shower, which is separated from the rest of the room by a glass wall
Guests Staterooms
The forward VIP has an Island berth and a desk and huge amounts of hanging locker space, as well as stowage beneath the berth. An en suite head with a second shared entrance for the guest double stateroom and guests. There is a dedicated laundry locker with shelves for linens.
The guest double is located to port and has good headroom as well, there is a pair of twin berths, a large window with two opening ports, and a hanging locker.
The Foredeck
The Ferretti 550 foredeck is virtually unmatched on any other 55-footer. A settee and folding, stowable table with a pathway separating a spacious sunpad forward.
The Cockpit
A three-section glazed door that can be folded to starboard and concealed behind the stairs leading to the flybridge divides the salon and gallery from the cockpit. When fully opened the cockpit becomes an extension of the interiors making a super large entertainment area equal to ones found on much larger yachts.
