Custom Line has shared the new images of its newest flagship the Custom Line 140’ superyacht, with a length overall of 42.61 meters and a maximum beam of 8.54 meters. The Custom Line 140’ made her world debut at the Ferretti Group Private Preview before being exhibited at the Cannes Yachting Festival and the Monaco Yacht Show.



Created in collaboration with Ferretti Group’s Product Strategy Committee and Engineering Department, Custom Line 140’ is the third Custom Line yacht with exterior styling and interior decoration by Francesco Paszkowski Design, working in partnership with Margherita Casprini and the Custom Line Atelier on the interiors. 



The yacht has sleek, powerful contours with distinctly sporty character that is a defining feature of the brand’s planing line, set off by unparalleled elegance and refinement: taught lines sweep from bow to stern in an exciting alternation of materials and colors represented by dark plate glass and light-coloured structural surfaces tours and contemporary style.



Another stylish detail is the painted aluminum handrail with Y-shaped uprights, an elegant and functional design feature. The hull windows are generously sized, while the floor-to-ceiling glazing on deck offers direct contact with the water.



The brand’s new flagship presents spaces never seen before, with interiors extending across over 300 sq. m, more than 200 sq. m of outdoor areas and an arrangement that reflects the yacht’s superior size. 



The layout is spread over four decks, with the settings designed for socializing flowing seamlessly across both exterior and interior spaces. On each deck, the areas devoted to the owner and guests are kept completely separate from those used by the crew thanks to the naval architecture developed specifically for this superyacht, featuring external walkways and interior staircases that connect the lower deck with the sun deck and are designed exclusively for use by the crew.



Custom Line 140’ has a gross tonnage of 398 GT. The skillful use of composite material and carbon fiber for the hull, she is ideal for navigating in shallow waters like the Caribbean Sea. 



The interiors are defined by neutral, natural tones and richly textured materials that gratify the senses on both a tactile and visual level. Standing out in the choice of furnishings are the beauty and colors defined for the exteriors and the interior living spaces on the main and upper decks, where the larger-than-life personality of the sofas and chairs features light, sophisticated colors alternating with bolder colors and refined materials.



The main deck is characterized by total integration of the interior and exterior spaces, as well as by clear separation between guest areas and crew workspaces to ensure complete privacy for the owner. The 45 sq. m main saloon with dining and living areas is a formal setting designed with a palette of materials and decorations ranging from ivory-hued natural leather to dark oak parquet floor. Particularly worthy of note is the refined craftsmanship embodied by the diamond-cut leather used as finishing for the ceiling and to upholster the furniture.

Huge spaces, 2.10 meter ceiling heights and four giant windows in the hull sides – the first of which on the starboard side can be opened – convey a feeling of fluidity and amplify the volumes, establishing intense, direct contact with the sea.

Continuing along the deck, the central lobby has a minimalist staircase – dominated by the iconic design pendant lights made of warm and sensual Murano blown glass – connecting the main deck to the lower and upper decks. This generously sized setting usually found on yachts over 50 meters opens out aft onto the dining room with its table seating 10 guests.



Forward, the exclusive 44 sq. m full-beam owner’s apartment is a huge yet intimate living space with an ever-present view of the water. 

The lower deck offers three VIP cabins and a guest cabin with twin beds, all with en-suite bathrooms.  Forward in the bow, the comfortable crew area contains three double cabins with en-suite bathrooms, accommodating six members of staff, while the large captain’s cabin with en-suite bathroom is next to the bridge on the upper deck. 



Located aft are the large engine room and, on the port side, the garage for a Williams SportJet 525 tender and a jet ski. Launching and recovering the tender are made easier thanks to the lowering of the sled that acts as a ramp.  

The beach area is a huge platform in the stern of the yacht, with the latest generation electro-hydraulic system that transforms the aft deck into a water’s edge terrace. This spacious private beach features a solarium, with the option of converting it into a fully multifunctional open-air lounge space, and seamless continuity between the interiors and exteriors of the yacht and the sea. 



The upper deck is divided into two distinct, multifunctional outdoor areas. Forward there is a spacious living area with comfortable seating, tables and sunbathing areas in which to fully experience the emotion of being in direct contact with the water, connected directly to the alfresco dining area aft through two side walkways, one on the starboard side for the exclusive use of the owner and guests, and the other on the port side for crew. A garage located forward can accommodate a tender or rescue boat.
Aft, the huge cockpit has a lounge area in the stern and a comfortable dining area accommodating up to 10 people around the impressive dining table, as well as over 42 sq. m to enjoy at any time of day, in direct communication with the panoramic indoor skylounge that extends across more than 25 sq. m. 



The sundeck is a uniquely special area that stands out for its sheer space, with over 70 sq. m split into three virtual outdoor areas that come together to offer a unique 360-degree view in direct contact with the water.
The relaxation area further aft, with a hydromassage tub and sunbeds, and the American bar area forward, with its impressive structural counter, are united amidships with the extended lounge area, which is furnished with wide sofas designed to adapt to different convivial situations and sheltered by the carbon fiber hardtop. 



The Custom Line 140’ superyacht is fitted with a pair of MTU 16V 2000 M96L engines rated 2,638 mhp each. On this superyacht, like all latest generation Custom Line yachts, is available, at the request of the owner, the IMO TIER III certification, (International Maritime Organization), which ensure environmental protection in the shipbuilding industry by reducing toxic emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOx) in exhaust fumes.



The fast displacement hull gives the yacht a top speed of 21.5 knots and a cruising speed of 18 knots. With a gross tonnage of just under 400 GT, Custom Line 140’ is the largest yacht ever built by the brand, using innovative light weighting technology, carbon fiber and hybrid materials to deliver high performance. 



The Ferretti Group, led by Chief Executive Officer Alberto Galassi, is now one of the world’s leaders in the construction and sale of luxury yachts and pleasure vessels, with a unique portfolio of brands: Ferretti Yachts, Riva, Pershing, Itama, Mochi Craft, CRN, Custom Line and Wally.
