Italian luxury yacht builder Ferretti Yachts marks the beginning of their 40th year in high-end yacht manufacturing by showcasing their two latest models, the Ferretti 630 (see pictures) and 550 at the 39th Boot Düsseldorf Trade Fair in Germany.

The boat show runs from which runs from 19-27 January. The Ferretti 630's deceptively small 65-feet (19.81 meters) frame reveals much more with its unique exterior and plush interiors for its three cabins and bathrooms.

Designed by Studio Zuccon International Project and Ferretti's engineers, a 360-degree view of the sea is created through the use of spherical glazed glasswork from bow to stern. Admire the sea with ample light streaming in from huge open-view windows in the master cabin, or simply unwind in the American style galley.

Performance-wise, the Ferretti 630's two 1224-hp MAN engines can attain a maximum speed of 33.5 knots. Ferretti also presents a smaller yacht from their luxury fleet, the Ferretti 550.

Measuring 57 feet (17.37 meters), the yacht is equipped with three cabins and bathrooms. The Ferretti 550 can travel at a top speed of 37 knots on a twin 900-hp MAN V8 engine. Both models have the option of an ARG (Anti Rolling Gyro) system, which cuts the rolling caused by waves by at least 50 percent.

The system is designed for the Ferretti Group by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries. There's also the NAVIOP, a software that enables constant monitoring of alarm situations, even via SMS.
