2010 Ferretti Yachts Altura 840

The 2010 Ferretti Altura 840, an 84-foot motor yacht, was a prime example of Ferretti's commitment to combining luxury with long-range cruising capability. This particular Altura 840, which we at Yacht Access had the pleasure of representing, was a standout in the 80-foot class, offering a sophisticated blend of Italian design and practical functionality. What made this model truly notable was its semi-displacement hull, providing a comfortable ride and impressive fuel efficiency for extended voyages, making it ideal for runs down to the Keys or across to the Bahamas. While not a sportfish, her expansive cockpit offered ample space for entertaining or even light fishing, a versatility often sought by owners. The 20 ft 2 in beam contributed to exceptionally spacious interiors, a hallmark of Ferretti, ensuring comfortable living for owners and guests. Buyers who missed this opportunity should understand that the Altura 840 series represents a sweet spot for those seeking a larger yacht with manageable operational costs and a proven track record for reliability. This specific 2010 model, sold at $1,950,000 from an asking price of $1,995,000, underscored its strong market position and the enduring demand for well-maintained Ferretti yachts.

This Ferretti Altura 840 was perfectly suited for a family looking for comfortable, extended cruising throughout Florida and the Bahamas, with ample space for guests. Its design favored leisurely island hopping and coastal exploration over high-speed dashes, offering a refined on-water lifestyle.

The ideal buyer for a Ferretti Altura 840 is typically an experienced yacht owner, likely upgrading from a smaller motor yacht, who values Italian craftsmanship, comfort, and a yacht capable of longer voyages. They appreciate a vessel that can be managed with a small crew or even owner-operated, focusing on family enjoyment and sophisticated entertaining.
