The silhouette is defined by clean horizontal lines and an innovative structural arch along the aft gunwale that provides an elegant sense of visual lightness. At the stern, a massive cockpit features a glass parapet to establish an uninterrupted visual connection with the sea, flowing seamlessly down to a submersible beach club platform and a hidden tender garage. Inside, the 30 square meter main saloon is bathed in natural light through expansive floor-to-ceiling glazing and features a dedicated dining area for eight guests with a sliding door for cross-ventilation. The forward section of the main deck is reserved for a full-beam owner suite, boasting a sunken walk-in wardrobe and a marble-clad bathroom that utilizes smoked glass partitions to maintain openness. The lower deck houses four additional en-suite guest cabins, while the 50 square meter flybridge offers custom freestanding furniture layouts and an openable hardtop roof. This advanced home on the water utilizes gyroscopic stabilizers to optimize offshore cruising comfort and commands a value of 9 million US dollars. #Ferretti940 #WidebodySuperyacht #ItalianDesign #HarbourMasters
