Ferretti 800 Video Review: An 80 ft Flybridge That Looks Years Younger
By the YachtWay editorial deskUpdated October 2026Video walkthrough7 min read
The Ferretti 800 is an 80 ft Italian flybridge yacht designed by Zuccon International Project. We walked a 2013 boat in Miami that has had more than $300,000 of upgrades since 2023, including Starlink and 5G, a Control4 AV system, new chillers and fresh teak. She has a crane and toys on the flybridge, a bright salon, three helm stations, four guest cabins and crew quarters for four.
A 2013 yacht that looks much newer
This Ferretti 800 looks like it came out a few years ago. The light wood inside makes the salon feel open, and the aft window lifts so the salon and aft deck become one space. Hidden details are everywhere, from the docking station that folds out of the side to the dock line hook tucked out of sight. She also comes loaded with toys, from Seabobs to Jetblasters and an Aquabanana.
