In a bold move that blends automotive heritage with maritime innovation, Ferrari has officially announced its first-ever 100-foot luxury sailing yacht, marking the company’s dramatic entry into the world of high-performance yachting.
The yacht, named “Prancing Sail”, reflects the iconic Italian marque’s signature design ethos—sleek lines, aerodynamic form, and a focus on cutting-edge technology. Built in collaboration with leading yacht designers and naval architects, the Prancing Sail features a lightweight carbon fiber hull, hybrid propulsion systems, and interiors inspired by Ferrari’s most luxurious GT cars.
“We wanted to create something that sails like a Ferrari drives,” said Flavio Manzoni, Ferrari’s Chief Design Officer. “This is not just a yacht—it’s an expression of speed, elegance, and freedom on water.”
Highlights of the vessel include:
- Dual-mode sailing: Manual sail control for traditionalists, with AI-assisted sailing automation for modern luxury.
- Top speed: Over 25 knots under wind power, and 18 knots via hybrid engine.
- Interior: Hand-stitched leather upholstery, touchscreen navigation, and bespoke cabin suites with panoramic ocean views.
- Sustainability: Solar sails and hydroelectric regeneration for eco-conscious cruising.
Expected to launch in limited production in 2026, the yacht already has a waiting list of ultra-wealthy clients and collectors.
With this venture, Ferrari joins the ranks of luxury brands entering lifestyle sectors beyond automotive, including Aston Martin and Lamborghini. Experts say this could redefine the intersection of sport, sea, and style.
