The Altura 840 marks an evolution and renewal for the yard, extending the historic series born in the mid-1970s with Altura 42 – a fibreglass motorsailer inspired by the principles of light, comfort and safety. This was followed in the 1980s by the Altura 46 and Altura 49, “pioneer” models that opened up an age of motoryachting with cutting edge innovation.
After the 2005 launch of the Altura 690, a 21 metre yacht combining the Altura philosophy with innovative Ferretti Group technology, and with the Altura 840, the yard has now completed an important stage in the evolution of the line. Designed by the Studio Zuccon International Project in collaboration with the AYT – the Ferretti Group Engineering Division - Altura 840 now stands alongside Altura 690, which provided the inspiration behind the design project, as an extremely comfortable yacht with generous, welcoming spaces and the most advanced technology, complemented by finishings with a nautical feel, including an extensive use of wood.
Altura 840 embodies a perfect synthesis between the concept of an aft-cabin motoryacht, with the master cabin aft, conceived for medium and long range cruising, and the flying bridge. Twin MTU 12V 2000 M93 1823 hp diesels by 2.450 rpm will cruise the Altura 840 at an impressive 27 knots with cruising range of 350 nm (at eco 11.5-knot cruise speed the range is 520 nm) and reach a top speed of 30.5 knots with maximal range of 310 nm.
