The Ferretti Altura 33 is a typical Italian motorsailer type from the seventies, with a strong, thick laminated hull and classic lines. Built with a strong, thick laminated hull, it is a timeless construction that is still sought after by many today due to its classic appearance and calm sea behavior.
In recent years, the ship has undergone significant technical renovation, with several important systems and equipment renewed. The ship is operational and seaworthy, but the new owner still needs some finishing and aesthetic work (primarily the deck and cockpit). That is why we recommend it primarily to a buyer who appreciates the features of a classic Ferretti and realistically sees the characteristics of a nearly fifty-year-old ship.
Dimensions: length 9.77 m, width 3.2 m, draft 1.3 m, weight 7 t.
The original EBDiesel Aifo Fiat 83 HP engine starts easily, runs smoothly, and does not consume oil. At 950 rpm, it provides a cruising speed of about 6.5 knots, and its consumption is favorable, on average 3–4 l/h. In May 2026, the oil, filter, impeller, and thermostat were changed.
The genoa is in good condition, the mainsail and lazy jack are completely new. The boom is also new.
The steering is hydraulic. The boat comes with a life raft and a new dinghy with a 2.3 HP 4-stroke Honda engine.
Instruments: autopilot, B and G Vulcan 9” multifunctional instrument (GPS/chartplotter), new B and G VHF radio.

Not a restored museum piece, but a much improved classic Ferretti, whose technical foundations have been significantly renewed, while some aesthetic work still needs to be completed.
The boat is for sale due to lack of use.
