Altura, the timeless series that unforgettably marked the history of modern sailing, has been revitalized Ferretti Yachts presented the world preview of Altura 840 on the occasion of the 2008 Festival de la Plaisance in Cannes. Genoa hosts the Italian preview of Altura 840

With this model, the shipyard is evolving and extending the historical series created in the mid-1970s with Altura 42, a fibreglass motorsailer inspired by the principles of light, comfort and safety.

This model was followed in the 80s by Altura 46 and Altura 49, “pioneer” models, which introduced an age of motor yachting that was on the cutting-edge of innovation. Designed by Studio Zuccon International Project in collaboration with AYT – Ferretti group’s naval research and design centre - Altura 840 flanks the previous Altura 690 model, which inspired the design project.

This extremely comfortable yacht, with spacious interiors and outdoor areas, features highly advanced technology and finishes with a warm, nautical feel. In order to guarantee total comfort and provide more privacy, the engine room has been located in the center of the yacht and separates the owner’s cabin astern from the crew quarters.

All unnecessary noise is absorbed by the intervening position of the yacht’s fuel tanks. A large lounge in the bow, which can be covered to create a shaded area, is the perfect relaxation area that is furnished with a comfortable table and divans.

In terms of performance and speed, Altura 840 is equipped with standout advanced technology systems that are featured on the entire fleet of Ferretti Yachts: two Mitsubishi ARG (Anti Rolling Gyro) stabilizers, which will come standard on Altura 840 and allow for a reduction of over 50% in the rolling motion caused by wave movement.

Altura 840 is equipped with last generation Naviop instrumentation. This innovative control system provides user- friendly, immediate touch-screen monitoring and management of consumption, services and alarms. These solutions make it even easier for the crew to access on board systems, offering significant increases in comfort and safety.

As for performance, Altura 840 is equipped with twin MTU 12V 2000 engines driving this yacht to a cruising speed of 27 knots and a top speed of 30.5.
