2006 Ferretti Yachts 881

Step aboard and the first thing you notice is how quiet and solid everything feels—classic Italian build quality with substantial doors, thick cabinetry, and smart sound insulation. The main salon’s large windows pour in light, so even on a gray day it feels open and airy rather than cave-like. Up top, the flybridge is where everyone naturally ends up: big sunpads forward, a proper dining area, and a bar close enough that you’re never far from a fresh drink underway. At anchor, the hydraulic swim platform becomes a private beach for launching toys or just sitting with your feet in the water at sunset, well away from the bustle of the upper decks.

The Ferretti 881 is particularly well suited to local waters where conditions can change quickly. Its deep, confident hull and substantial displacement smooth out afternoon chop that sends lighter boats scurrying home early. Generous fuel capacity and efficient cruising speeds make it practical for longer weekend runs between anchorages without constant fuel stops. The shallow relative draft for its size lets you tuck into more protected coves and closer to beaches than many comparable yachts. Wide side decks, high bulwarks, and solid rails give guests secure passage when moving around underway, turning even breezy coastal days into relaxed, unhurried cruising.
