The Custom Line 140’ will have a top speed of 21.5 knots

Custom Line is scheduled to launch its 140’ planing yacht in 2022, when it will supersede the Navetta 42 displacement model as its flagship superyacht. The Ferretti Group brand is currently displaying a Custom Line 106’ and a Navetta 37 at this year’s Monaco Yacht Show (September 22-25).

The Custom Line 140’ has an overall length of 42.15m (138ft 3in) and a large beam of 8.57m (28ft 1in) in comparison to the Navetta 42’s dimensions of 41.8m (137ft 2in) and 8.1m (26ft 7in).

Francesco Paszkowski designed the exterior of the 140’

The upcoming flagship is estimated to have a volume of just under 400GT, which is double that of the 199GT Navetta 30, which was launched last year and is the range’s current entry-level model, with the first hull resident at the Lantau Yacht Club in Hong Kong.

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

Margherita Casprini and Custom Line Atelier handled interiors

Ferretti Group predicts the high-speed displacement will enable the yacht to reach a top speed of 21.5 knots, based on preliminary data.

The hull windows are generously sized, while the floor-to-ceiling glazing on deck offers excellent views, aided by the open stern rails. A notable detail is the painted aluminium handrail with Y-shaped uprights, an elegant and functional design feature by Paszkowski.

The yacht will feature a fold-out swim platform

Aft, the beach area is clear of technical features and can be furnished as desired by the owner, with tender launch and recovery operations taking place on the port side.

Inside, guest and service areas are separated, with a stairway on the port side connecting the internal service areas from the main deck to the sun deck via the upper deck.

The owner’s suite forward on the main deck

The main deck features a 320sqft saloon and the widebody owner’s cabin, which offers over 320sqft of space and includes a double walk-in wardrobe and full-beam bathroom with twin sinks and both bath and shower. A panoramic drop-down terrace is an option.

The lower deck has three VIP cabins and a twin guest cabins, while the crew area forward accommodates seven in three en-suite cabins. The captain’s cabin is on the upper deck.

The skylounge on the upper deck

The upper deck also includes exterior spaces, a skylounge with forward-to-aft glazing and the 190sqft bridge, which has an integrated Team Italia dashboard and a chart area reminiscent of those on passenger and cargo ships.

Among the yacht’s innovations, the upper deck is connected directly to the forward area by side corridors with access also from the bridge, resulting in a single, spacious deck.

The sun deck features a hydro-massage tub

The sun deck contains a relaxation area with a hydro-massage tub and freestanding furniture, plus the option of a bimini extending shade provided by the hardtop. The bow area offers an outdoor lounge and another garage forward can be used to stow a tender or jetski, as offered on other Custom Line yachts.

The 140’ will be fitted with a pair of MTU 16V 2000 M96L engines rated 2,638mhp, while noise levels on board will be reduced based on mathematical analysis of each noise source and its position.

The exterior bow area can be covered by a bimini

The solutions used include floating systems, special materials and additional insulation between bulkheads and in ceilings, while sealed passageways will separate the guest area from the crew quarters and technical areas. Other acoustic-focused features include silenced engine exhaust systems and machinery supports designed specifically to absorb vibrations.

Like all latest-generation Custom Line yachts, the 140’ will be certified according to IMO Tier III standards to reduce emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOx) in exhaust fumes. The yacht also meets the requirements of international MCA certification for chartering purposes.
