Ferretti 881 is one of the few large luxury motor yachts in India to carry full custom duty and GST paid status — a distinction that takes years and significant capital to achieve, and one that defines her market position. For a buyer, it means no further import liabilities and immediate readiness for Indian-flagged ownership transfer.

Powered by twin MTU 16V 2000 engines producing a combined 2,030 horsepower through shaft drives, she is built for serious work. Top speed of 25 knots, with a comfortable cruising profile that returns approximately 375 nautical miles of range — enough for direct passages between the Maldives, Lakshadweep, and the Indian west coast without bunkering at sea.

She accommodates eight guests across four en-suite cabins — a full-beam master amidships, a forward VIP, a twin guest cabin, and dedicated crew quarters. The expansive saloon, full-width flybridge with fixed hard top, and integrated foredeck lounge make her equally suited to extended family cruising and formal entertaining at anchor.

Most importantly, Samara-1 has spent her entire Indian-flagged life under the management of Marine Solutions, with a documented service record, recent 2025 mechanical and antifoul work, and a current condition and valuation survey available to qualified buyers. She is not a project boat. She is ready to cruise.
One of the largest and most capable luxury motor yachts available through the Indian market today.

Accommodation

Eight guests, comfortably aboard.

A layout configured for both family cruising and formal entertaining, with full en-suite privacy across every cabin.
Suite 01

Master Stateroom

Full-beam, located amidships — the most stable and quietest position in the hull. Walk-in wardrobe, dedicated en-suite with separate shower, and integrated entertainment system. The owner's private space, configured for long-stay liveaboard.
Suite 02

VIP Stateroom

Forward to port with an island bed configuration. En-suite facilities, generous natural light, and full standing headroom. Equal in finish to the master, designed for principal guests rather than relegated to a forward cabin afterthought.
Suite 03

Twin Guest Cabin

Twin berths to starboard, en-suite, with entertainment system. Configurable for family use or additional guests. The fourth cabin is dedicated crew accommodation, separately accessed — the boat genuinely sleeps eight guests plus crew, not eight including crew.
Living Spaces

Saloon, Flybridge & Foredeck

An expansive main-deck saloon with U-shaped sofa, retractable television, and a separate dining area seating eight. The flybridge — shaded by its fixed hard top — carries an al fresco dining table, grill, and refrigerator, with a large sundeck aft. The foredeck integrates a sun lounger and seating: a third social space, quieter at anchor.
