The recently launched Custom Line Navetta 38 (hull 001) introduces a new level of sophistication and design within the brand’s Navetta line. This custom-made yacht, measuring 38.76 meters in length and boasting a beam of 8.00 meters, reflects the pinnacle of Italian style and innovative engineering.
Developed through collaboration between the Strategic Product Committee led by Piero Ferrari and the Ferretti Group Engineering Department, the Navetta 38 embodies Custom Line's commitment to quality, spaciousness, and comfort. The yacht features exterior styling by architect Filippo Salvetti and interior design by ACPV ARCHITECTS Antonio Citterio Patricia Viel, blending timeless elegance with modern functionality.
The Navetta 38 showcases a classic yet contemporary exterior design with clean, harmonious lines that blend seafaring tradition with refined luxury. The yacht’s exterior, characterized by simple and sculptural surfaces, emphasizes understated elegance and a strong visual presence.
The interior design is equally impressive, with a focus on maximizing space and ensuring a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor areas. The yacht spans three decks, offering nearly 465 square meters of surface area. It accommodates 12 guests in five cabins, including a master suite on the main deck and four guest cabins on the lower deck, each designed for comfort and privacy.
The interiors are bathed in natural light, thanks to extensive use of glass, particularly in the main salon and upper deck salon, where floor-to-ceiling windows create an airy, light-filled environment. The design employs a palette of neutral colors such as beige and ivory, complemented by natural materials like teak, oak, and leather.
A standout feature is the three-dimensional oak ceiling with a ribbed structure, adding a touch of sophisticated originality. This design element harmonizes with oak or teak floors and contrasting inserts, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.
The main deck integrates interior and exterior spaces seamlessly. The beach club and cockpit, covering over 70 square meters, are designed for versatility and functionality. The cockpit opens towards the beach club, featuring modular, freestanding furniture and all-glass parapets for unobstructed sea views.
The 42-square-meter saloon on the main deck, designed by Antonio Citterio, offers a timelessly elegant setting with custom-made furniture. The dining area can seat up to twelve guests, with a focus on fluidity and natural light.
The lower deck houses four guest cabins, each with private bathrooms, designed with natural materials and neutral tones. The crew quarters in the bow accommodate six staff members in three double cabins with bathrooms. The main garage aft can store a 5.65-meter Williams diesel jet tender and other water toys.
The upper deck, measuring over 90 square meters, features a spacious outdoor lounge and a panoramic indoor salon. The sky lounge offers unobstructed views and natural light, with furniture designed by B&B Italia Maxalto. Forward, the sunset lounge provides a private space for relaxation with custom-designed seating and a solarium.
The 65-square-meter sundeck is divided into four areas, including a teak-clad hot tub, lounge, and barbecue area, all offering 360-degree views.
Powered by two MAN 1,400 hp units, the Navetta 38 reaches a top speed of 15 knots and has a range of about 2,800 nautical miles at an economical cruising speed of 10 knots. The yacht is SCR-ready, reducing NOx emissions by 70% and aligning with Ferretti Group’s environmental focus.
Advanced technology includes Fratelli Canalicchio stern mechanical movement systems, Naiad stabilizer fins, Seakeeper systems for stability, and a sophisticated audio-video system by Bang & Olufsen. The helm station features advanced ergonomic design and integrated navigation systems, ensuring optimal performance and control.
