YACHTS & YACHTING 43
The fourteenth Custom Line Navetta 42, which entered the water on April 10 with the captain in attendance, is the result of a design journey led by the Ferretti Group Engineering Department, during which the Custom Line Atelier played a strategic role in the interior design process by interpreting the style requirements of the owner family based in the AMAS region. With a length of 41.8 m and a beam of 8.1 m, Custom Line Navetta 42 in the brand’ s displacement line features a powerful sculpted silhouette. The yacht’ s ambitious volumes combine formal clarity and functional aesthetics, maximising the living space in true American style. The concept, developed as a villa on the water, gathers the whole family together in spaces designed to encourage socialising and the on-board lifestyle. Large, multi-purpose spaces inspired by family homes define the style of the yacht, with a generous kitchen, lounges furnished with large sofas and convivial low tables, 75-inch mega screens for sharing entertainment, and a wellness area with sports equipment on the upper deck, offering all home comforts even when on the water. The interiors speak a contemporary formal language, with meticulously selected materials and soft colour tones such as beige and brown in a conversation between functionality and aesthetics. Prized marble –
Taj Mahal, Pietra Imperiale and Travertine – adorns the bathrooms and tops, while the choice of easily washable materials reflects the yacht’ s family-friendly focus.
17 and 22 April saw the launch respectively of the sixth and fourth hulls of the Custom Line 140’ planing line flagship, the made-to-measure yacht with sleek, bold styling, a length of 42.61 metres and a maximum beam of 8.54 metres. The design is the result of joint effort by the Strategic Product Committee – which handled the exterior styling – and the Ferretti Group Engineering Department for the interiors. Additional support came in the form of Custom Line Atelier’ s tailor-made approach, which adds detailed research and a close focus on detail, working in tandem with the customer, the project management and production teams, and expert craftsmen who perfectly capture the style preferences of each owner. The design, inspired by residential architecture, combines timeless elegance with an intimate and personal atmosphere, pointed up by meticulous detailing and layout choices that maximise comfort. Both owners, based in the AMAS region, focused the design of these madeto-measure yachts on the ideas of conviviality and family, imagining them as a space designed to welcome multiple generations and enjoy moments of sharing between friends and loved ones. These two close-knit families have chosen to make the yacht somewhere to rediscover the pleasure of spending time together, in settings at once elegant and informal.
The owner couple of the sixth Custom Line 140’ took part in the launch ceremony with great enthusiasm, seeing the yacht not only as somewhere to meet, but also as the expression of a dynamic lifestyle. This vision is realised, at their request, in the form of a fully appointed wellness area on the sun deck, so that they can maintain their exercise routine even when on board. There was a special focus on aesthetics: every setting, from the main lounge to the captain’ s cabin and crew quarters, is personalised with striking period photographs of Italian seaside resorts in the 1960s, creating an engaging artistic atmosphere designed to welcome everyone as an integral part of the experience on board. The choice of materials too reveals a bold, refined personality, featuring Travertine Titanium marble with elegant greybrown shading, and matt-effect white Travertine used for wall coverings in the bathroom areas. Pale, luminous colour tones define the interior and exterior aesthetic, providing a neutral backdrop for a vibrant interplay of colours, with turquoise, yellow and orange accents on decorative cushions adding movement and lightness.
