The Navetta

Custom Line introduced the Navetta with the Navetta 26 at Cannes in 2007, followed by the Navetta 33 a year later, both designed by Zuccon International Project. The line has since been renewed several times and remains the brand's signature, built in Ancona.

The current family includes the Navetta 30, launched in 2020, the Navetta 35, whose first hull was launched in 2026, the four-deck Navetta 38 and the Navetta 42, first launched in 2018. Earlier Navetta 26, 28, 33 and 37 yachts appear regularly on the brokerage market.

Design

Filippo Salvetti styles the newer models with long glazing and open decks, and the studio of Antonio Citterio and Patricia Viel shapes interiors around natural materials and freestanding furniture. The owner's suite sits on the main deck, with guest cabins below.

Practical ideas recur: the Navetta 30 has a patented Dual Mode Transom that serves as tender door and beach platform, the Navetta 38 opens aft into a beach club, and the Navetta 42 was designed for an ocean-crossing range of more than 3,000 nautical miles at ten knots.

Buying a Custom Line Navetta

Because Navettas share platforms, a buyer can compare several hulls of one model on refit history, crew care and interior specification. Survey work should include a class and flag review, machinery and stabilizers, and the joinery and soft goods that vary most between owners. Many Navettas have been chartered, so commercial compliance and VAT status belong in early due diligence.

Daniel's buying guide sets out the steps, and the Custom Line page places the Navetta beside the Saetta.

Owning and selling a Custom Line Navetta

The Navetta's reputation for comfort and range gives it a loyal following, and a strong charter record with a stable crew often supports interest. Sister ships are the best evidence of value, adjusted for age, refit and specification.

Daniel prepares a private valuation from sold comparables and presents a Navetta either quietly among qualified buyers or through cooperating brokers around the Monaco and Fort Lauderdale shows.

Questions owners ask

Is the Custom Line Navetta a displacement yacht?

The Navetta is built for efficient cruising at moderate speeds rather than planing performance, which gives it long range and a quiet ride. Custom Line's earlier Navettas were described as semi-displacement, and top speeds across the line remain modest. Owners who want more pace usually look at the planing Saetta models instead.

Who designs the Custom Line Navetta?

The current generation, including the Navetta 30, 35 and 38, has exteriors by Filippo Salvetti and interiors by ACPV, the studio of Antonio Citterio and Patricia Viel, with naval architecture by Ferretti Group Engineering. The Navetta 42 and the earlier Navettas were designed by Zuccon International Project.

Are Navetta yachts sometimes listed as Ferretti?

Yes. Older listings sometimes describe them as Ferretti Custom Line or Ferretti Navetta, since Custom Line belongs to the Ferretti Group. The yachts are built by Custom Line in Ancona and should be compared with other Navettas, not with Ferretti Yachts flybridge models. Absolute also uses the Navetta name for unrelated yachts.
