Ferretti Yachts has presented the world premi?re of Ferretti 881 RPH (Raised Pilot House), an alternative version of the fleet’s flagship Ferretti 881. The new layout maintains the building excellence of the original yacht, to whom it has been added an upper deck with a pilot house dominating the sea. The philosophy of the internal spaces is in line with the innovative solutions introduced on the Ferretti Yachts flagship. The result is a design effort aiming to make the manoeuvrability even easier while also allowing a more versatile use of the space on board.
The pilot house at the upper deck has been designed to allow the captain to access the helm station without necessarily walk through the guests zones. Such a solution makes the Ferretti 881 RPH ideal for high level charter services. On board, the spaciousness of the interiors together with the furnishing in matt elm and light-coloured fabrics, allow the saloon to strike for its width and luminosity. The living room area has a symmetrical layout, with a double sofa on opposite sides. A 32’’ hideaway plasma screen at the centre of the area, separates the saloon from the dining room area, that features a wide table apt to accommodate 8 people. Beside the access ladder to the pilot house, the table is equipped with a mechanism that makes it possible to shift the top and to accommodate up to 11 people.
Towards the bow, on the right hand side there’s a service head while on the left a sliding door brings to the spacious kitchen, redesigning the original version, with large working plans below the all-width bow windows flooding the space with light. In the pilot house, all the controls are in a head-on position, very clear to watch and very easy to handle from the pilot seat. On its right, an L shaped sofa with a table allows the guests to share the navigation with the pilot.
A wide L-shaped sofa with an extendable table and a sundeck towards the stern, shading the optional Jacuzzi, turn this area into an ideal environment for sharing with the guests unforgettable moments. The bar furniture incorporates the sink, the refrigerator, the cooking top and the grill. The flying bridge features a hard top with a central electric hard top to shade the dining area.
Located wide in the central part of the hull, the master cabin is oriented opposite to the direction of navigation, and allows the owner to enjoy a unique view of the sea while lying down on the bed or in the Jacuzzi. The large bath area, with a double access from the two bathrooms and separated by a sliding door, includes both a Jacuzzi and a comfortable shower with sliding box. The audio/video equipment, with a CD/DVD hi-fi system and a 20 inches LCD monitor, ensures a complete relax during the navigation.
In addition to the master cabin, there are two twin beds cabins with private bathrooms and a very wide VIP bow cabin, with two fixed armchairs at both sides of the bed and a private bathroom with a marble and teak floored shower.
Concerning the performances, the Ferretti 881 RPH renews the engines in comparison to the original flagship’s version. Two 2211hp MTU engines easily meet any expectation, pushing the yacht to a 29 knots top speed, and a 26 knots cruise speed.
