by The Ferretti Group brand is building the Custom Line 140′, a 42.15m planing superyacht with a volume of almost 400GT that will launch in 2022.
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 Custom Line 140′ has an overall length of 42.15m and a large beam of 8.57m in comparison to the Navetta 42’s dimensions of 41.8m and 8.1m.
The upcoming flagship is estimated to have a volume of just under 100CT, 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 and another sold to Singapore.
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. Ferretti Group predicts the yacht will have a top speed of 21.5 knots with a pair of 2,638mhp MTU 16V 2000 M96L engines.
The hull windows are generous, while the floor-to-ceiling glazing offers excellent views, aided by the open stern rails. 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, 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 cabin, while the crew area forward accommodates seven in three en-suite cabins. The captain’s cabin is 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.
The sun deck contains a relaxation area with a hydro-massage tub and freestanding furniture, plus the option of a bimini extending the 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.
Noise levels on board will be reduced by floating systems, special materials, silenced engine exhaust systems and additional insulation between bulkheads and in ceilings, while sealed passageways separate the guest area from the crew quarters and technical areas.
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.
