DDM29 (Ferretti 500 Fly)

Sleek modern cruiser The Ferretti 500 is a well-regarded Italian motoryacht that punches above its size, contemporary styling, solid build quality, and surprisingly comfortable for three cabins and six guests. At 15.3 metres, it's nimble enough for coastal exploration yet spacious enough for a proper week away.

Who it suits best This works beautifully for families or small groups wanting relaxed, engine-powered cruising without the learning curve of sailing. If you're based in Europe or flying in from the US or UK, you'll appreciate not wrestling with sails after a long journey; just hop aboard and unwind.

Value proposition At €15,900 per week with only a €5,000 deposit, the pricing is fair for a modern 2022 yacht of this calibre. You're getting a newer, well-maintained vessel rather than an older bargain, that typically translates to fewer surprises and better reliability on the water.

One honest note The listing is sparse on location details and Heads Yachting's exact base, so I'd recommend confirming the charter location directly, airport transfer times and logistics vary wildly depending where she's moored. Also worth clarifying what "TV" covers in terms of entertainment systems, since that's listed as the only equipment detail provided.
