The largest flybridge Ferretti
The 1000 arrived in 2021 as the biggest yacht Ferretti Yachts had produced up to that point. At 30.13 metres overall it crowned the flybridge range and pushed the brand into true superyacht territory. Its number follows the house habit of approximating length, here pointing to a boat close to 100 feet. The model marked a milestone for a yard long associated with smaller flybridge cruisers.
Reaching 30 metres let Ferretti fit accommodation and systems on a superyacht scale. The 1000 carries ten guests in five cabins with quarters for five crew. A raised pilothouse and an upper flybridge deck give the profile its layered look. The yard later added a Skydeck version to broaden the choice at the top of the line.
Salvetti scale and a raised pilothouse
Filippo Salvetti drew the exterior, translating the family look onto the largest canvas in the range. A raised pilothouse lifts the helm and frees the main deck for owner and guest space. Long glazing and a low superstructure keep the 30 metre profile sleek. Teak decking and a transom beach area follow the pattern of the smaller boats.
The extra length pays off in deck volume. A large flybridge sits above the pilothouse as the main social deck, with a further cockpit and foredeck below. Side decks are wide and secure for movement at this scale. The styling holds the brand identity so the 1000 reads clearly as a Ferretti despite its size.

Superyacht space by Ideaeitalia
Ideaeitalia dressed the interior, using the 30 metre hull to create genuinely large living areas. The main-deck saloon and dining space open through full-height glazing to the sea. An owner's suite sits on the main deck, a feature the length makes possible. Materials and finishes carry the elegant, contemporary tone Ferretti aims for at the top of the range.
The accommodation plan holds five cabins for ten guests, with the owner served on the main deck and further cabins below. Crew quarters and service areas are kept apart to run the yacht discreetly. Large hull windows bring light into the lower cabins. The layout gives the space and privacy expected of a superyacht.
MTU power at 30 metres
The 1000 runs twin MTU 16V 2000 diesels, offered as the M86 at 2,186 hp or the stronger M96L at 2,600 hp. Top speed reaches about 28 knots, with cruising speeds in the 20 to 24 knot band. The planing GRP hull was engineered by the Ferretti department to stay composed at this size and pace. These MTU units suit a yacht that covers distance at a fast cruise.
At 30 metres the 1000 depends on its systems for comfort and control. Stabilisation and thruster-assisted berthing are part of the superyacht package at this scale. The raised pilothouse gives the captain a commanding view for handling a large hull. Sound and vibration work keeps the accommodation quiet under way.
At the top of the range
The 1000 suits an owner stepping into superyacht ownership while staying with a familiar flybridge brand. It carries ten guests and full crew for extended cruising across the Mediterranean and further afield. The main-deck owner's suite and the scale of the interior are its strongest draws. Running costs match a 30 metre yacht rather than the smaller boats below it.
In the market the 1000 meets 30 metre planing yachts from other leading builders. Its argument rests on the Salvetti styling and the Ideaeitalia interior, carried by the standing of the Ferretti name at this size. As the range flagship for its era it carried the brand's ambitions upward. The later Skydeck variant widened its appeal further.
