Custom Line has launched hull one of the Navetta 38 at the Ferretti Group Superyacht Yard in Ancona on Italy’s east coast, with the sun-kissed ceremony attended by the owner’s family and shipyard employees.

Ferretti Group’s near-80,000sqm Ancona shipyard produces all Custom Line and CRN builds, as well as metal yachts by Riva and Pershing.

The Custom Line Navetta 38 has an overall length of 38.76m (127ft 2in) based on a displacement hull of 38.66m (126ft 10in) with a beam of 7.9m (25ft 11in), plus a draft of 2.27m (7ft 5in).

Like all recent Custom Line models, the 299GT tri-deck features exterior styling by Filippo Salvetti and interior design by ACPV Architects, founded and led by Antonio Citterio and Patricia Viel.

Both studios worked in collaboration with Ferretti Group’s Product Strategy Department chaired by Piero Ferrari and the company’s Engineering Department.

Custom Line Atelier provided interior design consulting, working closely with the owner “to transform the yacht into a faithful portrait of his style preferences”, according to Ferretti Group.

Alberto Galassi, Ferretti Group’s CEO, said: “Seeing a new Navetta enter the water is a powerful emotion, as it is to go aboard and experience the level of comfort offered by this outstanding ship.

“As a great fan of the Custom Line world, I can assure you that Navetta 38 is seriously exciting and represents a new way to enjoy the sea, featuring elegant materials and interior and exterior spaces that offer unprecedented liveability.

“She’s extraordinary but in a natural and harmonious way, with all the grace of a true thoroughbred. I’m sure she will be adored by all owners looking for a superior yachting experience.”

The main deck features an extra-long covered cockpit, a saloon with a lounge and dining area, galley, staircases, the forward master suite of over 40sqm and storage for a jet-ski in the bow.

The lower deck includes two VIP suites and two guest cabins, plus a forward crew quarters including accommodation for six crew. The aft end includes a large garage and a swim platform plus drop-down sides that can increase the waterside beach club area to 70sqm.

The upper deck also includes an extra-long covered aft deck, upper saloon, the wheelhouse and the adjacent captain’s cabin. The foredeck starts with a wide C-shaped sofa facing a large, flexible four-person sunpad, as well as a technical area.
