Ferrari Hypersail makes world premiere at Milan Design Week
The Italian sports car manufacturer has unveiled the exterior design of its innovative foiling yacht – a vessel that is meant to bring Ferrari into the world of high-performance sailing competitions.
The long-awaited premiere at Milan Design Week has taken place. But Ferrari did not unveil a new supercar. Instead, the Maranello-based company revealed the livery of its revolutionary "flying" sailing yacht with hydrofoils: the Ferrari Hypersail.
As previously reported by Yachting, this ambitious project was originally driven by renowned Italian sailor Giovanni Soldini. The Hypersail brings together the Ferrari Tech Team (Matteo Lanzavecchia and Marco Guglielmo Ribigini), the Ferrari Design Studio led by Flavio Manzoni, and naval architect Guillaume Verdier.
This 100‑foot carbon‑fibre yacht will be the first vessel of its class to be entirely self‑sufficient in clean energy. There is no internal combustion engine on board. All the power required for the control systems, foils, keel, rudder, onboard electronics and navigation systems is generated autonomously while sailing. The yacht will be equipped with a foiling control system developed from Ferrari’s automotive expertise. According to the company, the monohull will be capable of flying over the ocean for extended periods.
The yacht’s sleek silhouette draws inspiration from the Ferrari Monza SP1/SP2 and the Ferrari 499P hypercar. Solar panels are integrated into the hull. These automotive design cues are paired with the signature Nuovo Giallo Fly – a shade of yellow that stands alongside Rosso Corsa red as one of Ferrari’s iconic colours. This shade was inspired by Fiamma Breschi, a close friend of Enzo Ferrari and the widow of racing driver Luigi Musso, who raced for Ferrari in Formula 1 and other series in the 1950s wearing a yellow helmet of this exact hue. The first Ferrari car ever painted in Giallo Fly was the legendary 275 GTB.
While designing the Hypersail, Ferrari has already filed nine patent applications, with six additional know‑how innovations currently under development. The yacht is now under construction in Italy, with its launch scheduled for 2026, followed by sea trials.
