The Filippetti Sport 55 is the sharpest performer in the yard’s Sport line, a 17.38 metre open cruiser that pairs genuine speed with a flexible main deck. A retractable window door lets the two main deck salons merge into a single open space that runs from the helm to a large stern sunpad, then lowers fully out of sight for open air cruising or closes to climate control the interior. Below, three cabins and two bathrooms sleep six, with a full beam master using the whole 4.64 metre width, a bow VIP with a queen berth and a twin guest cabin. Styling by Filippetti Yacht with Davide Cipriani keeps her interior linear and warm, mixing precious woods with leather on sofas, headliners and walls. Twin Volvo Penta IPS 1200 pods drive her as standard, with a MAN V8 and surface drive option for those chasing the top of her performance envelope. She suits an owner who wants a fast, convertible Italian day and weekend cruiser with real accommodation below.

Performance is the Sport 55’s reason for being. Twin Volvo Penta IPS 1200 pod drives are standard, giving a 38 knot top speed and a 32 knot cruise with the efficiency and manoeuvrability that pods bring. For owners chasing more, a MAN V8 1200 option on Arneson surface drives lifts the top speed to 46.5 knots and the cruise to 40. The yard credits her weight to power balance and hull design for making her the quickest boat in the Sport range. A 2800 litre fuel capacity and a single 11 kilowatt generator suit her day and weekend cruising brief rather than long ocean passages.
The Sport 55 wears a clean, low sport profile, and her defining exterior feature is the convertible main deck. A retractable window door slides partway open and then lowers fully out of sight, letting the two main deck salons merge into one continuous space that runs from the helm back to a large stern sunpad. Open, she offers wide views and a true open cockpit feel, closed she becomes a climate controlled interior. The result is a 17 metre cruiser that adapts to the weather and the occasion, with sunbathing, dining and helm all flowing into one another across a single level.
Below, the Sport 55 sleeps six across three cabins served by two bathrooms. The master runs across the full 4.64 metre beam, a rare luxury at this size, while the bow VIP carries a queen berth and the third cabin takes two singles for guests or children. Interiors follow a linear, contemporary style, combining precious woods with leather finishes on sofas, headliners and walls for a warm, tailored feel. A crew cabin is available as an option for owners who want staff aboard. As with every Filippetti, materials and details are specified to the owner rather than fixed.
Living aboard the Sport 55 centres on that convertible main deck, where helm, salon, dining and the stern sunpad occupy one flexible level. Opened up, the space becomes a sun filled cockpit for cruising and swimming, closed it is a sheltered salon for cooler days or evenings. The forward sunpad and bow area give a second outdoor zone for relaxing at anchor. It is a layout built around daytime use and short stays rather than long passages, and the ease of moving between open and enclosed living is what sets her apart in the class.
The Sport 55 is built by Filippetti Yachts at Mondolfo on the Italian Adriatic coast and certified to CE category A. A 2800 litre fuel capacity, 600 litres of fresh water and an optional crew cabin suit an owner driver who cruises by day and stays aboard for weekends. As a current production model she is offered new to specification, with used examples also reaching the brokerage market. Pricing is grounded, with new build asks around 2 million euros and used 2020 boats listed near 1.1 to 1.25 million. For the buyer she offers a fast, convertible Italian cruiser with genuine accommodation below decks.
