The Ferretti Yachts INFYNITO 90 is a 26/27 meters that rewrites the concept of medium-long-range cruise with a technical platform focused on efficiency, viability and control of energy loads. The architecture of hydrodynamic low-strength hull, the organization of volumes and the care of mechanical and plant details make it a consistent choice for shipowners who want many hours of real navigation at intermediate speeds, without sacrificing suitable performance peaks to the category.
Design building and setting
Identity of the trademark and industrial trajectory
Ferretti Yachts has been chairing the segment of the flybridge and the high-end cruiser, with a structured industrial supply chain, a network of capillary assistance and quality control processes. The INFYNITO line is designed to increase the number of days actually available on board, enhancing covered surfaces, wind protection and spatial continuity between interior and exterior. The goal is clear: to perform the concept of “house on the sea” even when conditions are not ideal, limiting dependence on generators and optimizing comfort and privacy.
Building philosophy and design criteria
The privileged approach robust, legible and maintainable solutions. It reduces the “exotic” elements difficult to serve in remote locations and adopts industrial components with international standards, so as to simplify extraordinary interventions and spare parts. The design of the plants is characterized by the containment of the dispersions, the rational route of the lines and the reasoned redundancy in the critical functions (pompe sentina, fire plant, electric paintings).
Main dimensions and naval architecture
Geometry, proportions and relapses on abitability
The hull is placed in the band 26–27 meters out everything, with important berth and fishing suitable to support stability and comfort in sea size. The length of the hull remains below the threshold of 24 meters, choice not marginal for regulatory purposes and insurance in multiple flag scenarios. The width/length ratio and generous interior heights determine almost “superyacht-like” volumes: owner suites, three guest cabins all with services, separate crew quarter and a broad, bright and protected living area.
Low resistance and optimal regimen
The hydrodynamic design belongs to the family of reduced resistance famines, optimized for high yields between 10 and 18 knots, with possibility to push over 20 knots when required. The incidence of the bow volumes, the distribution of the full and the modulation of the structural redan reduce phenomena of “slamming” and improve the route seal to the transverses. The wave step and the position of the center of gravity contribute to a gait composed also with crossed sea.
Materials, stratigraphy and construction processes
Scafo and superstructure in composite
Exhaust and superstructure are made of GRP with calibrated scaling to combine rigidity, vibrational damping and weight containment. High-pressure areas – engine bases, bulkhead attachment points, transmission organ locations – are reinforced with high-density local layups and larger density nuclei. The goal is to obtain a solid but not overweighted shell, capable of sustaining vertical accelerations without generating annoying resonances inside.
Internal finishing and material choices
The privileged environments materials with good sound and natural tactile properties: open pore wood, technical textiles, quality regenerated leather. Where possible, light solvents and panelling with alveolar core are used to reduce suspended masses and inertias in case of brusche maneuvers. This care results in a feeling of quiet, with sound levels contained in the lounge and cabins also in transfer navigation.
External design, layout and space study
Formal language and protection from elements
The external lines alternate surfaces with generous shielding; the swings and the glass portions are dimensioned to channel air flows and avoid turbulence on the bow bridge. The integrated cover and sunshine increases the shading without weighting the profile. The bow becomes a real lounge that can also be used in transfer, not only a scenographic element.
Space continuity inside/outside and ergonomics
The main floor – from the salon to the cockpit – it is thought for a continuous experience at only one level, with reduced thresholds and passages without stroking. The lateral stained glass and stern openings extend the perspective, so that the boundary between the interior and the exterior disappears in everyday practice. The freestanding furniture, mounted on non-slip bases and discreet stops, allows flexible configurations between lunch, conversation and relaxation, maintaining free routes for crew and guests.
Propulsion, transmissions and silence
Motor and logical dimensions packages
The motorization foresees two V12 of great Cuban in two levels of power. The sizing favours couple to the average regimes, ready in recovery and safety margin on the helix load. Depending on the chosen package, the peak speeds are placed around the threshold of 20–22+ knots, with agile cruises between 15 and 18 knots. The available power reserve is useful in “anti-sea” manoeuvres and to quickly reach shelters or favorable weather windows.
Axis, gearboxes and propellers
The transmission on axis lines is a pragmatic choice for boats of this class. Reducers with optimized relationships and selected step-by-step propellers ensure correct absorption on the entire load diagram. The alignments are controlled with blades and lasers, the couplings on elastic supports and the use of compensation joints limits the transmission of vibrations to the supporting structure.
Hearing and vibration management
In addition to dynamic insulation on motor bases and generators, the package includes multilayer sound absorbing panels in machine rooms, with thermoacoustic seals on barrels and technical accesses. Air channeling is shaped to avoid whistling and resonance.
Onboard and automation systems
Electric panels, networks and redundancies
THEelectrical system is articulated on main dorsals with subreticulations protected by magnetothermic and differential switches. The paintings are compartmentalized, ventilated and labelled; management is centralized through digital interfaces with priority logic on loads. Redundancies are provided for critical users (autoclaves, bilge, navigation electronics) with separate feeds and manual bypasses to ensure continuity in case of fault.
Domotics and integrated control
System integration allows you to govern lighting, air conditioning, obscurants, pumps and entertainment from dedicated panels or remote devices. Pre-set scenarios (port, cruise, night, eco) harmonize dimming, HVAC flow rates and energy priorities, avoiding absorption peaks and improving perceived comfort. Diagnostic logs and alarms guide the crew in the quick identification of abnormalities.
Energy, batteries and sustainability
Production, storage and management of loads
Energy philosophy aims at reduce generator operating times without penalizing onboard use. High density battery banks – with BMS and thermal control – feed hotel loads and transient peaks; the energy supply from the sun, when present, covers light utilities and integrates charging cycles. Priority logic automatically turns off non-critical loads when absorption exceeds defined thresholds, avoiding stress on alternators and groups.
Materials with less impact and comfort in satin
The selection of coatings, wood and glue with reduced content of VOC, combined with the least need for electricity generation in satin, improves both the environmental profile and the sensory experience: consistent temperatures, low noise, almost absent odors. This results in more hours really lived on board, especially in summer crowded bays.
Performance, autonomy and consumption
Reference speed and trim
With higher power packages, the boat exceeds the threshold of 22 knots in ideal conditions; the most profitable regimes in relation to miles/liter are found between 11 and 13 knots, where the hull expresses the best. At 17–18 knots the cruise is still relaxed, with stable trim and good spray protection; the possible increase in consumption is the physiological one linked to the cubic growth of the necessary power.
Factors that influence real autonomy
Onboard loads, famine status, propeller quality, gearboxing and even the choice of tents affect the travel distance with a given amount of fuel. Predictive management of hotel loads and “eco” profiles for HVAC and lighting affect the diary cycle as much as the trim and weight of the dinghy.
Sea behaviour and stabilization
Response on short wave and crossed sea
The free edge and the bow volumes are designed to keep the blanket dry even with short bow wave typical of the summer Mediterranean. The hull responds progressively to the beaking, without rebounds, and maintains a neutral direction with wind at the garden. The tyrant is sincere: mechanical/hydraulic feedback returns clear feelings to the commander, important in coastal routes with reduced maneuver spaces.
Pins, gyroscopes and hybrid configurations
The platform allows the adoption of stabilizing fins and/or gyroscopes. The two approaches are not alternative by definition: transfer fins and rada gyroscope are an effective combination, especially in the charter field. The installation is designed to avoid unnecessary weighting and to ensure comfortable maintenance access over time.
Onboard life: ergonomics, comfort and logistics
Main deck: living room, lunch and flows
The main living room welcomes areas of conversation, dining table and, on request, an open or semi-separated kitchen. The guest path does not interfere with that of the crew: the staff can serve and reorder moving on dedicated corridors. Acoustic comfort allows undervoking conversations; indirect lights avoid glare and reflections on the glass surfaces.
Lower deck: rooms and privacy
The undercover shipowning suite – when you do not opt for the master on the main deck – takes advantage of the maximum glare and benefits from the best vibro-acoustic protection. The guest cabins, organized in VIP and two convertible twins, have each dedicated services with generous showers. The furniture prefers useful volumes and rounded edges, to the full advantage of safety in navigation.
Outside areas: accessible bow and shaded living areas
The bow bridge integrates seats, sunbathing and a table that, if necessary, turns into a sheltered dining area. In the stern, the layout enhances access to the sea and allows to move dinghy and water toys without interfering with the relaxation of guests. The upper deck offers a superior rudder and protected living room, useful both on the march and in prolonged satin.
Equipment, maintenance and serviceability
Operating areas and service routes
I crew premises are separated and allow comfortable shifts on long cruises. Access to the machine area, paintings and plants is rational: filters, water separators, heat exchangers, fridge groups and main valves can be reached without dismantling half a boat. Clear labelling reduces errors and diagnosis times.
Maintenance and time/barking plans
The planned maintenance follows known specifications: motor cutters, check of rotating organs, checks on alignments, calibration of stabilization systems and cleaning of famines / helmets. The use of standard components and the ordered setting of technical rooms reduce downtime and dependence on hard-to-find specialists in peak months.
Port handles and control at low speeds
Visibility, manoeuvre and safety aids
Command points with excellent side visibility, joysticks integrated with thrusters and camera packets guarantee confidence in mooring even with wind at the crossroads. The anchoring system correctly sized, with chain and still proportioned, avoids unnecessary stress on winch and moss. The stern platform with hydraulic handling facilitates tendering/lifting by reducing risks and times.
Safety, regulations and compliance
Operations, fire and alarms
The boat is compartmentalized with technical bulkheads, smoke/heat detection systems and fire systems dedicated to machines and sensitive premises. The escape routes are unequivocally indicated, portable extinguishers are distributed with logic and light signs are easily identifiable even with low lights. Alarm systems are integrated with the central control platform and replicated on command stations.
Market, positioning and competition
Reference and perceived value
The 90-foot “med-centric” from the long-range footprint is placed in the top dial of the market, where the choice is not the absolute maximum speed, but the quality of the experience between 0 and 18 knots. The perceived value depends on three factors: usable cubicle, onboard silence and real cost/time in high season. On these axes, theINFYNIA 90 articulates a credible and differentiated proposal.
Comparison with antagonist models
Compared to more markedly flattering alternatives, Ferretti's 90 renounces some pointed knots to offer greater protection, covered surfaces and rendered to intermediate regimes. Compared to competitors with slightly higher size but traditional flybridge setting, it maintains a more protected profile, ideal for warm climates and transfers with strong sun and tense wind.
Customer profiles and employment scenarios
Private owner
Who sails often, even outside the only high season, favours the possibility of really enjoying each square meter. The boat responds with protected spaces, controlled acoustics and mature energy management. The owner suite – on the main or central hull – returns privacy and comfort from residence.
Charter fleets and representations
Operators high-end charter and representative company value equivalent en-suite cabins, modular living and dedicated crew paths. Combined stabilisation and efficiency to the average regimes reduce host fatigue and improve weekend satisfaction.
Operating costs and TCO (Total Cost of Ownership)
Fuel, maintenance and seasonality
In realistic use profiles, the fuel spending is balanced by efficiency to economic regimes. The planned maintenance on engines and plants follows clear plans, with availability of service in the Mediterranean very wide. The quality of the interior design limits the perceived wear: hinges, guides and finishes resist well to the typical demands of the charter.
Conservation of value over time
The units that offer protection, silence and well exploited spaces tend to maintain appeal to the second passage. The recognisability of the model and the presence of energy upgrades strengthen the hold of the residual value, especially in markets where the perceived use exceeds the only velocistic peak.
Technological perspective and evolutionary roadmap
Progressive integration of hybrid solutions
The platform is compatible with future hybrid triggers in parallel or serial mode for maneuvers, rada and reduced emissions. Natural evolution will lead to more efficient storage benches, more efficient power electronics and more predictive load management algorithms, with further cuts in ray generation times.
Digitalisation of maintenance
The diagnostics increasingly capillary and remote telemetry will allow more accurate fault prevention cycles. Digital manuals, virtual twins of systems and procedures libraries will reduce human errors and downtimes, with benefits both for the shipowner and fleets.

Final summary
INFYNITO 90 is a boat that moves attention from the search for the point number to the daily experience: silence, protection, continuity of spaces, energy efficiency and well-thought planting. In an increasingly crowded and warm Mediterranean, these are exactly the parameters that measure the quality of the time spent on board. For those who want to live many miles between 10 and 18 knots and turn every rade into a small floating house, this platform represents a sensible technical solution and, above all, concrete.
