Ferretti 850 for Sale: Price, Specs and Buying Guide

Who the Ferretti 850 suits in the Gulf

Old Doha Port's dedicated superyacht zone takes vessels up to 160 metres, so an 80ft-plus flybridge like the 850 is well within its comfort range, and Doha's Pearl-Qatar and Lusail marinas both see this size of boat regularly. The charter-style four-stateroom layout suits family groups who want separate cabins for adult children or extended family, rather than a couple with occasional guests.

It works for family day-boating around Qatar's sheltered inshore waters just as well as it does for a longer Gulf passage, since crew quarters mean an owner can actually staff the boat properly for either use case. Buyers comparing it against the Azimut Grande 27M are usually choosing between Italian design houses at a similar size rather than between genuinely different capability.

What the survey must check

A four-stateroom, crewed yacht this size has more systems to check than a simpler flybridge:

• Review MAN V12-1900 engine hours and service or warranty history.
• Check generator hours closely. Heavy A/C load across four staterooms plus crew quarters means the generator works harder here than on a smaller boat.
• Inspect gelcoat and teak condition on the flybridge and aft deck after Gulf UV exposure.
• Commission an osmosis and blister survey below the waterline.
• Review stringer and structural condition.
• Check the stabilizer system's full service history.
• Ask about crew-cabin systems and generator redundancy specifically, given this yacht's charter-style use pattern. A boat that has hosted paying charter guests has a harder duty cycle than a private-use-only example.

Ferretti 850 price in 2026

Pre-owned Ferretti 850s average around $4.4 million as of 2025-26, inside a roughly $3.2 million to $5.5 million market range depending on condition, customization and onboard amenities. Because this has been a single continuous production run since 2016 rather than a model split across generations, build year is a cleaner signal here than on some other flybridges on this list.

Customization level matters more on this model than most: two 850s built the same year can price differently based on interior finish, tender and toy inventory, and crew-accommodation fit-out alone. Engine hours and generator hours remain the standard checks, and any documented refit adds real, verifiable value rather than just a seller's asking price.

Running costs

The industry rule of thumb of roughly 10% of purchase value a year applies as a starting estimate, but crew quarters and a four-stateroom hotel load push this toward the higher end of that band for its size. Budget for a properly staffed crew if you intend to use the cabins the way they are designed to be used, not a skeleton crew covering a boat built for more.

Heavier engineering and refit work for a hull this size typically routes through yacht service specialists in Dubai given the limited heavy-refit capacity closer to home, so build that logistics step into any refit budget from the start.
