The verdict The InFYNITO 80 is the most accomplished cruising motor yacht Ferretti has produced in the 24-metre range. The All-Seasons Terrace is the segment's most distinctive feature, and the F.S.E.A. sustainability package delivers real onboard-energy benefits.
The Ferretti InFYNITO 80 — which launched its first hull in August 2024 after a world premiere at the Cannes Yachting Festival — has become one of the most discussed boats in the 24-metre motor yacht segment. The combination of its F.S.E.A. (Ferretti Sustainable Enhanced Architecture) energy package, its highly distinctive All-Seasons Terrace, and the broader InFYNITO design language has positioned the model as a deliberate departure from the long-running Ferretti flybridge series that preceded it. It is the smaller of the two boats in the range, sitting below the larger InFYNITO 90.
This review reflects a four-day Mediterranean charter from Cannes to Portofino, conducted aboard a hull delivered to a private owner in early 2025 by arrangement with the Ferretti Group. The boat was operated by a permanent professional crew of three.
The principal differentiator: the All-Seasons Terrace
The All-Seasons Terrace is the design feature that most clearly distinguishes the InFYNITO 80 from its competition in the segment, and it is, on extended use, more successful than we expected from on-paper inspection. It is a sheltered, semi-enclosed outdoor living space — covered by an extension of the superstructure for privacy and weather protection — that connects to the main-deck galley and saloon through an electrically operated sliding glass door. The result is a covered outdoor room that stays usable across a much wider weather window than an exposed deck would.
The practical consequence is that the boat gains a genuinely usable additional living space across a much wider temperature and weather window than is typical for a yacht in this range. On our first night, with overnight temperatures of 11°C off Cap Ferrat, the All-Seasons Terrace was the boat’s most-used social space; on the second day, with afternoon sun pushing 31°C, the shaded, ventilated terrace was equally usable.
We have not, in eight years of motor yacht reviews, seen this particular indoor-outdoor concept executed as convincingly at this size. Larger boats offer comparable sheltered deck concepts, but typically rely on a meaningfully larger displacement and more generous deck space; the Ferretti has executed the equivalent on a smaller hull.
Performance and range
The InFYNITO 80 is offered with two propulsion configurations: twin 1,200 hp MAN V8 diesels, or the more powerful twin 1,400 hp MAN V12 diesels (the configuration aboard our test boat). Both are conventional shaft-drive installations. Rather than a propulsion hybrid, the InFYNITO’s sustainability story is its F.S.E.A. package: photovoltaic panels integrated into the hardtop feed a high-density lithium energy bank that can carry the boat’s hotel loads — lighting, refrigeration, electronics — at anchor without running a generator, allowing genuinely silent overnight operation.
With the V12s, the boat achieved a top speed of around 22 knots in calm conditions and a comfortable cruising speed in the mid-to-high teens. The lighter V8 option trades a little top end (around 20 knots) for lower fuel burn — the choice between them is essentially a question of how a given owner balances performance against running costs over a season.
Range is approximately 1,000 to 1,200 nautical miles at cruising speed, comfortably bracketing a passage such as Cannes-Bonifacio within a single tank.
Living accommodation
The InFYNITO 80 is configured as four cabins — an amidships master, a forward VIP, and two further guest cabins — with quarters for three crew. The owner’s cabin, full-beam amidships, is a generous 43 square meters and includes the boat’s principal head suite (separate shower and water closet) plus a walk-in wardrobe.
The galley is forward of the main saloon and operationally configured for a single chef plus a stew. Refrigeration capacity is generous for the size: 720 liters across three units, which proved adequate for a four-day charter with full provisioning.
Verdict
The InFYNITO 80 is the most accomplished cruising motor yacht Ferretti has produced in the 24-metre range. The All-Seasons Terrace is the model’s most distinctive feature and, in our view, justifies the configuration on its own. The choice of the more powerful V12 engines adds to the base price (which sits in the region of €7 million depending on specification) but delivers performance benefits that some owners will value over the ownership cycle; the F.S.E.A. energy package, standard across the range, is the more quietly consequential feature.
