A new Custom Line Navetta 38 has entered the water at the Ferretti Group Superyacht Yard in Ancona.
Ancona, December 10, 2024 – The second Custom Line Navetta 38 debut in less than a year demonstrates the success of this magnificent made-to-measure yacht in the displacement line, given her world premiere last May. The launch on November 14 at the Ferretti Group Superyacht Yard in Ancona was an emotional moment for the owner family – based in the Middle East – who were thrilled to attend the ceremony and celebrate the completion of this joint project.
With a length of 38.76 m, a beam of 8.00 m and a gross tonnage of 299 GT, this made-to-measure yacht is the result of collaboration between Ferretti Group’s Product Strategy and Engineering Departments. The exterior styling is by architect Filippo Salvetti, while the interior design is by ACPV ARCHITECTS Antonio Citterio Patricia Viel.
Working with the project management team, Custom Line Atelier played a strategic role in the yacht’s development, turning the owner’s style preferences into reality and providing assistance right up to the handover.
The razor-sharp focus on bespoke detailing is the aspect of Custom Line Navetta 38 that appealed most to the owner family, along with the combination of sophisticated aesthetics, maximum liveability and direct contact with the water. The yacht has an extremely elegant stylistic harmony resulting from the use and skilful matching of natural oak for the walls, floors and detailing. Oak is also used on the ceilings, filling the interiors with soft, even light, and echoed – as a signature detail in this new project – in the finishing of the rounded doors to which the wood adapts perfectly, naturally and with refinement.
These flowing lines are reprised in the choice of various freestanding elements such as the sofas and low tables in the interior and exterior areas, which for the most part are round in shape.
As specifically requested by the owner, the areas for socialising and relaxing in both the interior salons and outdoor spaces, all intercommunicating, are furnished with large sofas and custom designed armchairs. Coffee tables and lamps featured in the outdoor spaces on all three decks reflect the desire to experience life in the open air to the fullest, sharing special moments with friends and family at any time of day. The importance given to these areas for socialising is perfectly expressed in the layout of this second Custom Line Navetta 38, which has an owner’s suite on the main deck and four double cabins on the lower deck, ensuring space and comfort for all guests on board.
The exterior styling stands out for its timelessly classic design language, featuring simple, harmonious lines that express a refined sense of luxury. The body of the boat is all-white, a customisation requested by the owner to showcase the purity and elegance of the styling.
The chromatic theme running through the yacht embraces a neutral palette, with shades of beige and white enlivened by boldly contrasting accents in smoky grey and black. Black, used at the owner’s request to add depth and character to the spaces, can be seen on the helm station ceilings, on the mirrored glass panes of some of the wardrobes and cabinets, on the lacquered surfaces of the freestanding furniture in the salons, and on the electric sockets and loudspeakers. Completing the visual harmony are natural, unfinished materials including teak, oak and leather, infusing the spaces with warmth and authenticity. The grey and ivory wallpaper designed by Philippe Jeffries adds a particularly elegant touch. Marble is one of the key materials used for the furnishings and coverings, with prized Essential Grey and Crema d’Orcia featured in the bathroom areas to create an atmosphere of refinement and sophistication that’s perfectly in tune with the made-to-measure yacht’s sophisticated aesthetic.
