Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Ferretti Yachts 850 2021 vs Ferretti Yachts Altura 690 2008 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Ferretti Yachts 850 2021 vs Ferretti Yachts Altura 690 2008 comparison sits squarely in the category of decisions where specs alone won't tell the whole story — intended use, storage, and long-term ownership costs all factor in.
The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 1 900 hp, the Ferretti Yachts 850 2021 has a 700-hp advantage over the Ferretti Yachts Altura 690 2008's 1 200-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Ferretti Yachts 850 2021 is rated for 25 passengers, while the Ferretti Yachts Altura 690 2008 caps at 20. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Ferretti Yachts 850 2021 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Ferretti Yachts 850 2021 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 25 passengers and at 85,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Ferretti Yachts Altura 690 2008 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 20 that costs less to run day-to-day.
