The Ferretti Yachts 94 Custom Line 2004 vs Ferretti Yachts Altura 840 2010 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.

Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Ferretti Yachts 94 Custom Line 2004 measures 94,6 feet overall (2004), giving it roughly 10,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Ferretti Yachts Altura 840 2010 at 84,6 feet (2010). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Ferretti Yachts 94 Custom Line 2004 tips the scales at 233 690 lbs — 156 130 lbs more than the Ferretti Yachts Altura 840 2010 at 77 560 lbs. That difference is meaningful if you're working within a half-ton or three-quarter-ton truck's tow rating, especially once you factor in a motor, gear, and fuel.

The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 2 000 hp, the Ferretti Yachts 94 Custom Line 2004 has a 177-hp advantage over the Ferretti Yachts Altura 840 2010's 1 823-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Ferretti Yachts 94 Custom Line 2004 carries 2 593 gallons versus 1 849 gallons in the Ferretti Yachts Altura 840 2010. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.

For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Ferretti Yachts 94 Custom Line 2004 is rated for 28 passengers, while the Ferretti Yachts Altura 840 2010 caps at 25. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Ferretti Yachts 94 Custom Line 2004 could be the deciding factor.
