Take a bow

There’s a whole lot going on with the new Ferretti Infynito 90, which debuted at the 2023 Cannes Yachting Festival. It’s different for the Italian giant, and frankly different for the entire industry, to my eye. And while there’s much to discuss regarding this 26.97-metre offering, all the chatter must start in the bow lounge.

The Infynito bears the fashionably plumb bow of many of her peers, but the way the bow is integrated is distinctive.

The Infynito has what Ferretti is calling an All Season’s Terrace that feels much like a partially open winter garden – it’s a space with a massive carapace hanging over it with vented sunlights that look like ribs jutting off a plesiosaurus’s spine. These sunlights can open and close depending on the weather, and can also be fixed glass.

Solar panels here operate as part of the FSEA (Ferretti Sustainable Enhanced Architecture), and Ferretti says they generate enough power to cover the hotel load, allowing for emissions-free anchoring.
