Custom Line / Custom Line Saetta 140′
The Saetta 140′ is the planing flagship of Custom Line, a 42.6-metre expression of speed and volume that reframes what a fast cruiser can offer. Where the Navetta line pursues range at trawler pace, Saetta answers the owner who wants a genuine 21-knot top end without surrendering interior scale. Twin MTU 16V 2000 units drive her to that figure, and she settles into an 18-knot cruise with 1,850 nautical miles in reserve at the economic setting.
Her profile reads long and low, the signature Custom Line glazing running almost unbroken down the hull side so the main deck lives in natural light. Five cabins sit below alongside dedicated crew quarters, and the full beam of 8.54 metres is given over to social volume rather than corridors. Sun deck, upper deck and main deck stack generous entertaining zones that flow to a sea-level beach club aft.
Built in GRP at the Ferretti Group yards, she carries the engineering depth of a major builder with the tailoring of the Custom Line Atelier, where interiors are developed with the owner rather than issued from a catalogue. For a buyer weighing a semi-custom 40-metre, the Saetta 140′ offers speed, provenance and a layout designed around how the space is actually used.

Twenty-one and a half knots is the headline, and it is a real number. Twin MTU 16V 2000 M96L engines, each rated near 2,640 horsepower, drive conventional shaft lines for predictable handling and straightforward maintenance. She cruises comfortably at 18 knots, and throttled back to an economic 11 knots she reaches 1,850 nautical miles, enough to cross to the islands or shadow a season across the Mediterranean without anxiety over fuel. The 28,400-litre tankage underpins that range. Displacement runs to 225 tonnes unladen, and the planing hull form lifts cleanly rather than ploughing, which keeps the ride flat and the wake manageable at speed. The result is a yacht that behaves like a sportcruiser when the owner wants pace and a stable platform when the sea gets up.
Her exterior is defined by glass. The Custom Line signature of near-continuous side glazing runs the length of the main deck, dissolving the usual boundary between inside and out and flooding the saloon with light. The profile is deliberately understated, long sheerline, low superstructure, no visual clutter, so the eye travels the full 42 metres uninterrupted. Deck space is organised for real use: a sun deck up top for sunbathing and informal dining, a sheltered upper deck aft, and a main-deck cockpit that steps down to a beach club at the waterline. Tender and toy stowage is handled without compromising the clean lines, and the foredeck carries a second social zone for owners who value privacy away from the working areas.
Below, five cabins make the most of an 8.54-metre beam. The full-beam owner’s suite is the centrepiece, with the hull glazing bringing the sea almost to the bed, and the remaining cabins are configured to the owner’s brief through the Custom Line Atelier. This is where the Saetta separates from its rivals: rather than selecting from fixed packages, buyers work with the Atelier’s designers on materials, mood and layout, so no two deliveries read the same. Ceiling heights are generous for the class, and natural light reaches even the lower-deck spaces through the yacht’s deep glazing strategy. Crew accommodation is kept separate with its own access, protecting the flow of the guest areas and keeping service discreet.
The Saetta is built around entertaining. Three deck levels of social space stack cleanly, from the open sun deck through the upper deck lounge to the main saloon, and each flows to the outside rather than feeling sealed behind sliding doors. The beach club at the transom is the yacht’s natural gathering point at anchor, opening the interior to the sea and giving swimmers, divers and loungers a shared base at the waterline. The galley is sized to cater for a full complement of guests across long cruises, and the dining arrangements shift easily between formal evenings inside and relaxed lunches in the shade aft. Movement between zones is intuitive, which matters on a yacht this long, where poor flow quickly becomes a daily irritation.
She is built in GRP at the Ferretti Group’s Custom Line facility in Italy, to the engineering and classification standards a major yard brings, which matters for resale and for the support an owner can expect over a decade of use. Generators, stabilisation and the technical systems are specified for extended cruising rather than coastal hops, and the shaft-line propulsion keeps servicing uncomplicated in ports worldwide. The Atelier’s bespoke process means specification varies widely between hulls, so a buyer assessing a particular Saetta 140′ should read the individual inventory closely. Taken as a whole, she is one of the more complete propositions in the fast 40-metre bracket: the volume and tailoring of a custom build, the speed of a planing hull, and the reassurance of a group with a global aftercare footprint behind her.
