Ferretti Group had big news at the 2024 Cannes Yachting Festival with the launch of the Infynito 80, the not-so-little sister to the INFYNITO 90.
It carries over plenty of the same key features, including the all-season terrace forward, a fast-displacement hull, and a connected main deck. It’s stepping into the same field as competitors like the Princess X80 and Sunseeker’s Ocean 156, so let’s look at the INFYNITO 80 and what it has to offer.
Review Video
Ferretti’s INFYNITO 80 takes plenty of inspiration from its bigger sister, the INFYNITO 90, especially the fast displacement hull built for slower, fuel-efficient cruising. The 80 includes Ferretti’s F.S.E.A. technology (Ferretti Sustainable Enhanced Architecture), featuring solar panels integrated into the hard top that charge 14 high-density lithium batteries, enabling silent, emission-free operation when running in Hotel Mode.
The main deck layout has symmetrical side decks leading forward to the signature all-season terrace, partially sheltered by a glass sunroof, available as an option for ventilation. At the stern, a hydraulic bathing platform connects directly to a comfortable lounging area and practical storage space for water toys. Up on the flybridge, there’s generous room for sunbathing and dining, plus a compact but user-friendly helm station. It's not a classically beautiful boat, but its top-heavy stance and full bow make for masses of interior volume for the length.
Inside, the 80 features interior design by Ideaeitalia, offered in two distinct styles same as the 90: the Classic, with warm, earthy tones, or Contemporary, with brighter woods and fabrics inspired by colours of the sea. Both use eco-friendly materials throughout, including natural and bamboo fabrics, regenerated leather, recyclable components, sustainably sourced lamellar teak, and environmentally friendly paints.
The raised pilothouse design slightly reduces openness compared to the INFYNITO 90 but provides practicality with excellent visibility, larger screens, and optional joystick control to simplify manoeuvring.
Accommodation is well-arranged, with four cabins and bathrooms, highlighted by the spacious owner’s suite amidships with generous storage, large windows, and a luxurious en suite.
Crew quarters and the engine room layout are thoughtfully executed, providing easy access, good headroom, and optional equipment including stabilisers and a water maker. The 90 remains the flagship of the Infynito range, but the 80 brings the same ethos of extended cruising and luxurious comfort in a size that suits owner-operators or a lighter crew.
One of the standard features on the INFYNITO 80 is the forward-positioned galley, which connects directly to the so-called all-season terrace. The drop-down window is a great addition, especially with the bar setup outside. It allows for interaction between the galley and guests, making it a sociable space when the bar is in use.
The galley itself is a good size, with plenty of cooling space, including a large domestic-style fridge. Cooking facilities are positioned behind, but unlike the INFYNITO 90, it doesn’t have quite the same openness. On the 90, the access door leads into a much bigger space with a panoramic view, whereas here, the raised pilothouse structure above makes it more enclosed.
Moving aft, there’s a day head with a large window - probably best to keep the blind down when in use! - and a dining area. Storage has been well thought out, with crockery and tableware put away near the dining table for easy access when setting up meals. There's plenty of additional storage in the galley, but having some items positioned closer to where the crew needs them makes sense.
The main internal living area - a familiar layout with dining forward and a spacious lounge aft. Like the deck spaces, it’s flexible, allowing for different furniture configurations. The TV setup also has options - either a fixed screen or a drop-down version from the ceiling, which keeps it out of the way when not being used. The only trade-off is that it’s not visible from every seat, but it does create a cleaner, more open space.
Owner's Cabin
The owner’s cabin is amidships, and straight away, you get a sense of how well put together this space is. The cabin door is thick, solid, and closes with a satisfying magnetic pull. No latches, just a clean, weighty thunk.
For storage, there's a pair of large, illuminated hanging lockers on either side, plus a neat floor-to-ceiling shoe cupboard that keeps everything tucked away and tidy. There's also a small, curved smoked-glass display area that could be used for ornaments and jewellery, etc.
There’s plenty of floor space in here too, which shows off the excellent headroom. The bed is generously sized, dressed in the same fresh, modern colour palette seen throughout the boat.
Big hull windows let natural light in, especially on the starboard side, which isn’t blocked by the bathroom like it is to port. There's a TV mounted in a mirror, and the surrounding glasswork has an architectural look to it, with the materials and detailing giving off a (whisper it) Sanlorenzo vibe.
The ensuite also uses different marble from the other bathrooms to elevate the feel. You’ve got separate cubicles too - toilet and bidet on one side, shower on the other - which gives it a real sense of privacy and luxury.
Guest Accommodation
The INFYNITO 80 features a four-cabin, four-bathroom layout on the lower deck. Forward on the port side is a double. It’s always good to have a proper double bed, though access is a little tight - the inside sleeper has to climb over their partner if they need to get out in the night. That said, there is a private ensuite bathroom, finished beautifully with black marble that contrasts against the lighter oak doors.
Opposite, on the starboard side, is the twin cabin. It’s a comfortable space, with enough room to walk between the beds and some nice detailing. The bedside table design is particularly good, with built-in controls for both blinds and blackout blinds to darken the room completely for a good night’s sleep. There’s hanging storage, a TV mount on the wall, and additional storage tucked beneath one of the beds. Like the double, it also has its private bathroom.
Moving forward, the VIP cabin sits right in the bow, acting as the primary guest suite. The private en suite is positioned to port and extends further back than expected, creating room for a separate shower cubicle. The bed is centrally positioned, with steps on either side for easy access. There are some nice touches, too, like the green panelling by the bed head and small raised ledges to keep items like a TV remote from sliding away when the boat is underway.
Storage is generous, with hanging wardrobes on both sides, though there are some trade-offs. While the cabin has an escape hatch, there’s no skylight, and the portholes on either side are quite small, meaning it relies more on artificial light.
Crew Accommodation
It’s a fairly steep ladder that takes you below into the crew space. There’s no dedicated crew mess, but you’ve got two cabins down here with a single and a twin to the other side.
There’s a navigation screen and full access to the boat’s systems, so the crew can manage everything from this space without needing to head upstairs. A washer-dryer is fitted in, and they’ve got a private bathroom off to the side as well. It’s compact, but equipped for getting the job done.
On the INFYNITO 90, there’s a dedicated bridge deck, but on this 80-foot version, you get a raised pilot house alongside the flybridge helm. That means you’re still elevated, but this is the primary internal driving position. The setup here is more substantial, with three large screens laid out in a typical cruising configuration - charting, radar, engine information, plus cameras for monitoring areas like the engine room.
There are two engine options: MAN 1200hp or MAN 1400hp. The boat we saw had the more powerful 1400hp version, which should push it to 22 knots at top speed and a fast cruising speed of 17 knots, giving a range of around 350nm. But what’s interesting is that if you dial it back to 11 knots, the range jumps to 1,000nm. It shares a fast displacement hull with the Infynito 90, meaning it’s designed for efficient lower-speed cruising rather than chasing high speeds like a Princess X80 or a Sunseeker 156.
It comes with Sleipner fin stabilisers as standard, with the option to add a Seakeeper to bolster stability at rest. A potentially wise option given the boat's height. There’s also an optional joystick system, which integrates thrusters and props for slow-speed manoeuvring. Otherwise, you’ve got twin throttles and thrusters for control.
Raised pilot houses at this height can sometimes feel a bit compromised, and while the windscreen is on the shallower side, the adjustable seat and the ability to stand for a better view mean you can still get comfortable with a decent sightline forward.
Up on the flybridge, there’s a second helm station, a key feature on this model. This upper helm is streamlined, with just the essentials: a couple of screens, throttles, and an optional joystick. The helm chairs are positioned high, giving a clear forward view over the all-season terrace, as well as a line of sight aft. There’s even just enough proximity to communicate with the crew below, making it practical for those who like to helm from here. And for added control, there’s also a third docking station back in the cockpit.
Starting right at the stern, there’s a hydraulic bathing platform, as expected. However, it’s not full-width, so when it lowers, a section of deck remains at the original height. This keeps a connection between the platform and the cockpit area, and the cassette passerelle is integrated here as well, making it easy to step onto higher quaysides.
Just above, there’s an aft-facing sofa, positioned perfectly to overlook the water. Once the platform is lowered, it creates that seamless connection to the sea that so many owners look for these days. Beneath the deck, there’s a large storage area - not quite a tender garage, but big enough for water toys and essential gear.
Another nice touch is the overhead shower - a proper fixture rather than just a basic deck shower, making it much more enjoyable after a swim. The gradual transition from here up into the cockpit is similar to what’s seen on the Infynito 90, and it works just as well on the 80.
The cockpit is set up purely as a lounging area, and what this space does brilliantly is connect with the lower aft deck, creating a seamless flow between the levels. It’s also nicely sheltered, so if you want to escape the blazing sun, the overhang provides plenty of cover, supported by smart-looking struts. The black metalwork stands out against the reconstituted teak with white caulking, for a sharp, stylish contrast.
On the port side, there’s a sink and an ice maker, under a good-quality teak lid. The way the teak contrasts with the black mouldings and fibreglass gives it a sophisticated look - this boat is absolutely dripping with style.
There's also a third docking station here, alongside the flybridge helm and the raised pilothouse helm. You’ve got throttles, bow, and stern thrusters positioned aft for stern-to mooring.
All-Season Terrace
The main deck follows a symmetrical layout, with equal-sized side decks on both port and starboard. Forward, another INFYNITO styling cue stands out - glass is seamlessly integrated into the upright sections, while overhead coverage extends to provide some protection as you approach the all-season terrace.
And that name sums up the purpose of this space. It’s called an all-season terrace, and when the wind is howling, and it’s a bit chilly, the overhead protection will make a real difference. The space itself can’t be fully enclosed, but there’s a sunroof, which tilts open for sunshine and ventilation when needed. On a colder day like this, it stays shut, but because it’s glass, natural light still floods through. A fixed glass roof is standard, while the sunroof is an option.
There are also layout choices for this area. Standard is a table, but there’s the option to swap it for a bar with stools that faces the front end of the saloon. With this configuration, an optional drop-down window enhances the connection to the galley - something that becomes even clearer when viewed from inside.
The seating arrangement is just like the INFYNITO 90, with a lounge area opposite the table, creating a more circular and sociable space. It’s a clever use of the area, just like on the larger model, and it works just as well at this size.
Flybridge
The flybridge on the INFYNITO 80 is seriously spacious, stretching well aft and giving some incredible flexibility. Within reason, you can configure it how you like.
The setup here makes perfect sense, with a dedicated sunbathing space featuring sun loungers. There’s the option for a canopy that extends out for shade, and the area can be partially enclosed using runners for protective covers, not at the front, but around the dining area for extra shelter.
Moving into the dining space, there’s a servery with a grill on one side and cooling storage on the other, all under the hardtop’s protection. The formal dining table splits open to allow easy movement, and when meals aren’t on the agenda, there’s also a sofa for more relaxed seating, so you’re not confined to the table if you just want to unwind in the shade. The finish throughout is impeccable, from the beautifully stained teak to the precise steel work - it’s all unmistakably Ferretti.
Alongside the main deck hatch in the cockpit that drops down into the engine room, there’s also a watertight door through the crew area that leads into what is, frankly, a very serious machinery space. The engines are the clear focal point here, and there's a decent amount of space between them, making access straightforward. Headroom is decent too, and there's a ladder that leads straight back up through the hatch to the main deck.
The boat, as an option, is fitted with solar panels on the hardtop and a large battery bank, meaning you can run the hotel load without relying on the generators all the time. There’s a lot of fire suppression gear visible too, with tanks and pipes that feed into a system designed to flood the battery area in case of a fire. It’s all there to provide that extra level of safety.
On top of that, there are generators on both sides, stabiliser fins as standard, and the option to fit a Seakeeper if you want both types of stabilisation. There’s even a water maker fitted on the starboard side. Considering the amount of equipment packed into this space, it’s surprisingly easy to move around and get to what you need for regular checks or maintenance.
Our Verdict
This part of the market is heating up, with plenty of brands now going after this style of crossover boat at this size. It’s easy to see why - there’s a clear point of difference here compared to a traditional flybridge or sports cruiser, and it brings something a bit more original to the table. That said, the INFYNITO 80 doesn't work as well as its big sister. The main deck arrangement simply doesn't deliver the feeling of space you crave on a boat of this size and style, and it lacks the functionality of a main deck owner's cabin option that many of its rivals have. It's solidly engineered and tastefully designed, but there are better options in this sector.

Rivals to Consider
The Princess X80 shapes up as a strong alternative to the INFYNITO 80, particularly when it comes to speed. With a cruising speed of 25 knots and a top speed of 31 knots, it easily outpaces the INFYNITO’s more relaxed 17-knot cruise. That makes it well-suited to owners who prioritise pace and responsiveness. By contrast, the INFYNITO focuses on stability and comfort, which might appeal more to those after a gentler, quieter ride. The Princess X80 also features a distinctive Sky Lounge with wide views and a layout that links interior and exterior spaces, adding to the onboard experience.
In terms of accommodation, the Sunseeker Ocean 156 edges ahead with space for up to 10 guests across five cabins, compared to the INFYNITO’s eight guests in four cabins. That extra room could be important when travelling with larger groups. Even so, the INFYNITO includes a full-beam master cabin with en-suite and hull-side windows, giving the owner a private and luxurious retreat. The Ocean 156 also features a beach club with a hydraulic bathing platform and fold-down terraces, extending the waterside space and making the most of time spent at anchor.
The Riviera 78 Enclosed Bridge Deck takes a different approach, with a range of 2,500 nautical miles and a cruising speed of just 7 knots. It’s clearly geared towards longer passages, where comfort and endurance matter more than speed. The feel is closer to that of the INFYNITO, with an emphasis on steadiness and enjoying the time underway. It's fully enclosed bridge creates an all-weather pilothouse, adding a layer of practicality for extended cruising in mixed conditions.
The Horizon V80 is also worth a look, sharing the INFYNITO’s four-cabin layout for eight guests. A shallower draft lets it explore areas that might be off-limits to deeper-draught yachts, making it better suited to cruising grounds with tidal or access constraints. While its guest accommodation matches the INFYNITO’s on paper, this added flexibility gives it an edge in specific settings. The main deck is open plan and spacious, with a clear line through from the saloon to the aft deck, creating a sociable and easy-going atmosphere onboard.
