Introduced in 1999, the bold styling of the 680 Motor Yacht went a long way toward dispelling the conservative image of earlier Ferretti designs. Her accommodations are spacious and finished in high gloss cherry. Starting on the aft deck, there is built in bench seating aft accompanied by a high gloss teak table. The entrance to the crew cabin is to starboard and there is an ice maker to port. The aft salon bulkhead is all glass and includes Ferretti's signature large opening window. Entering the salon, a U shaped sofa and a table is to starboard and two built in barrel chairs, an entertainment center and a bar and fridge to port. Continuing forward and up two steps, the dining area is to starboard and the galley and side deck access door is to port. Just forward of the galley to port is the lower steering station. Ferretti offered several alternate arrangements to meet the needs of the client. In the standard layout, a spacious full-beam owner’s suite is amidships, and the galley is on the main deck level where it’s separated from the salon. To access the flybridge, there are built-in stairs leading up from the aft deck and inside access from the dining salon. MAN 1,200hp V-drive diesels cruise at 27–28 knots (low 30s top).
