We tracked down the inside scoop on what boatbuilders are up to next.

Writing from Italy, Ferretti Head of Sales Stefano Campanelli fondly referred to the Ferretti 550 as “the small one.” He also made it clear that the boat is designed for sunworshippers, with lots of wide-open outdoor spaces, including a large cockpit and a flying bridge that should keep both American and European buyers happy with plentiful seating and, of course, a nice big sunpad. The flying bridge can have a bimini or optional hardtop that Campanelli promises will be “streamlined,” so we can assume it won’t detract from the overall profile of the boat.

With a launch date scheduled for September 2015 this boat is still in her nascent phases, but so far all signs point to big things for Ferretti’s “small one.”

Launch Date: September 2015
