SPICA Yacht Charter

Core upload: SPICA is a 2023 Ferretti 1000-series – essentially Ferretti’s current “this is what we can do” demo reel – set up for 10 guests in 5 cabins with a full‑beam main‑deck master and dressing room. If you’re scrolling for a brand‑new, sub‑40m boat that still feels like a mini‑superyacht rather than a big dayboat, this is the one to pause on.

Outside is where she cheats the size rules. You get a genuinely large flybridge with hardtop, bar and dining area, plus an open aft lounge zone for maximum sun-worship. The foredeck runs a split‑level layout: adjustable sunpads up top, lounge/dining forward, so you can separate “cocktails” from “kids jumping on everything” without a UN briefing. Aft, the terrace is built for actual use – shaded dining, glass balustrade for uninterrupted views, and a row of integrated sunbeds leading straight down to the swim platform.

Inside, it’s modern Italian logic, not floating hotel carpet. Contemporary Ideaeitalia interior, clean lines, no clutter, and a main‑deck master that behaves like it belongs on a larger yacht: full beam, forward‑facing king bed, lounge area, walk‑in wardrobe and a proper ensuite. Below, four guest cabins flex between doubles and twins, so you can run couples, family or mixed group without playing bunk‑bed Tetris.

Under the skin: fast, quiet, stabilised. GRP planing hull, twin MTUs, 21‑knot cruise and up to 28 knots when you’re done dawdling. Stabilizers work both underway and at anchor, so drinks stay in glasses and not in people. Full air‑con and Wi‑Fi are standard, as they should be in 2023, not “premium extras”.

For the “we’re not just here to sit” crowd: SPICA carries a Williams Dieseljet 445 plus a solid toy list: Seabobs, JetSurf, paddleboards, wakeboard, towable tube and adult waterskis, plus snorkelling kit. Translation: enough hardware to keep teens, gear‑heads and casual dippers all busy without having to invent games with fenders.

Why charter SPICA instead of the next 30m on the list: you get a near‑new Ferretti flagship series hull, serious outdoor living space, a main‑deck master that punches above its length, flexible cabin setup for 10 guests and a 6‑crew operation built to run proper week‑long charters, not just day trips with pretty photos.
