questions to Stefano de Vivo CCO of Ferretti Group How does Custom Line interpret the needs of the market with the Navetta 38? Yachting is increasingly geared towards the concept of floating villas and lofts designed to be lived in while cruising. Custom Line is ideally placed to interpret this trend by offering ever more spacious and sophisticated indoor and outdoor areas that maximise onboard liveability while guaranteeing privacy and wellbeing for the owner. How does the Custom Line Navetta 38 enhance life at sea? While remaining true to maritime tradition, this yacht offers innovative, functional solutions that improve onboard liveability. They include numerous areas for comfort and conviviality, seamless continuity between interiors and exteriors and a new concept full-beam beach club. The Custom Line Navetta 38 also features technology of the very highest quality, involving the integration of new components and systems on board. How was the interior developed? The interior design process focused on maximum use of space through optimum control of all the volumes and functional exploitation of the entire available surface area. Another strong focus was on natural light, with extensive full-height windows creating powerful continuity between external and internal spaces and a feeling of harmony with the marine environment. What was the idea behind Custom Line’s novel beach club concept? The stern area is designed as a signature feature and a unique innovation on our boats, representing a completely new approach to the full beam beach deck concept. The idea behind the concept was to create a space that is both functional and aesthetically stunning. We wanted to create a space that lets our guests enjoy relaxing and socialising in an exclusive environment in direct contact with the sea, while maintaining the highest levels of comfort and privacy. How does Custom Line continue to meet the expectations of modern yacht owners? Today’s owners increasingly want a bespoke yacht that’s tailormade to reflect their own personality and lifestyle at sea. Every Custom Line yacht is a masterpiece, a work of art that tells a unique story and a perfect combination of cutting-edge technology, ingenious functional solutions and refined, eye-catching design that meets the owner’s needs.
