The distinction

Propulsion

The Azimut's pod arrangement differs fundamentally from the Ferretti's shaft driven configuration.

Accommodation

The Ferretti can trade the fourth cabin for a more generous owner's arrangement.

Use

Owners carrying more guests may favor cabin count. Owners spending longer aboard may prefer the stronger primary suite.

The final decision

A useful comparison must move beyond published specifications. The right yacht is the one whose layout, systems, condition and ownership demands correspond to the way it will be used.
