FERRETTI YACHTS 500 ELITE – 2006
ITALIAN VAT PAID – EXTENSIVELY REFITTED IN 2021 – EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION

Asking Price: €390,000

This Ferretti Yachts 500 Elite is an outstanding example of one of the Italian shipyard’s most successful flybridge motor yachts.Designed by Zuccon International Project, she combines timeless Italian styling, impressive performance and particularly generous living spaces for a yacht of this size.

Privately used and never chartered, she has been carefully maintained and is presented in truly remarkable condition. She is hauled out and protected ashore throughout every winter and has historically been used for only approximately two months each summer. 

One of her most distinctive features is her exceptionally bright and contemporary interior. Finished in elegant light-coloured wood and enhanced by large side windows, the saloon benefits from abundant natural light and offers a modern, welcoming atmosphere that remains remarkably current today.

EXTENSIVE 2021 REFIT

The yacht underwent an extensive refit in Italy in 2021, including a complete interior refurbishment and a major upgrade of her navigation equipment.

Her twin MAN R6-800 engines were professionally rebuilt in 2021 by an authorised MAN dealer in Italy, with supporting invoices available. They have completed only approximately 570 hours since their rebuild and have continued to be professionally maintained.

Further recent upgrades include:

• Complete interior refit carried out in Italy in 2021
• Twin MAN R6-800 engines rebuilt by an authorised MAN dealer in 2021
• Approximately 570 engine hours since rebuild
• Full Garmin navigation electronics upgrade in 2021
• Seven new AGM batteries installed in 2026
• New diesel heating system
• New mattresses in all cabins
• New Osmosea watermaker, showing only approximately 71 operating hours
• Mase generator, approximately 860 hours

INTERIOR AND ACCOMMODATION

The bright and spacious saloon features a large U-shaped sofa and a folding dining table that can be converted into an additional berth. Electric blinds, generous storage cabinets, a dedicated bottle and glass compartment and a refrigerator complete this particularly comfortable living area.

The fully equipped galley includes:

• Three-zone ceramic hob
• Conventional oven
• Microwave oven
• Dishwasher
• Refrigerator and freezer
• Two stainless-steel sinks
• Generous cupboard and drawer storage

Guest accommodation comprises two large double cabins, both with private bathroom facilities:

• Full-beam owner’s stateroom with double bed, wardrobes, extensive storage and en-suite bathroom
• Forward VIP cabin with large double bed, wardrobes, storage and an en-suite bathroom with day access
• Separate aft crew cabin with a single berth, wardrobe and private bathroom

NAVIGATION AND MANOEUVRING

The yacht is equipped with comprehensive Garmin navigation electronics installed in 2021 at both the main helm and flybridge:

• Garmin radar and radar antenna
• Garmin autopilot
• DSC VHF radios
• Depth sounders
• Compasses
• Three MAN engine-monitoring displays with alarms
• Hydraulic trim tabs with LED indicators

The bow and stern thrusters make manoeuvring particularly easy, whether operating from the lower helm or the flybridge.

ENTERTAINMENT AND COMFORT

The yacht is equipped with a Bose hi-fi system featuring radio, MP3 and Bluetooth connectivity, together with interior and exterior speakers.

She also benefits from a television system and a retractable satellite television antenna with an electric lift in the saloon.

Air conditioning, diesel heating, hot water, shore power, inverter and multiple 220V outlets provide excellent comfort throughout the year.

EXTERIOR SPACES

The aft cockpit offers a comfortable and protected dining and relaxation area with:

The spacious flybridge includes a large seating area with a teak table, a wet bar with sink and storage, an electric barbecue and a bimini top.

TENDER

A major additional advantage is the particularly spacious Grand 330S tender, measuring 3.30 metres and powered by a Yamaha 20 hp outboard engine.

Its generous size and engine power make it considerably more comfortable, practical and enjoyable than the smaller tenders usually found aboard yachts in this category, whether used for reaching the shore, exploring nearby bays or carrying guests in comfort.
