Speed changes what a week at sea can cover. Where a displacement yacht plans its charter around short hops, CHAMPAGNE & CAVIAR runs at 26 knots and cruises the coast the way a fast car takes a mountain road, Monaco for lunch, a Ligurian anchorage by afternoon, back to Cannes for dinner. She is a Custom Line 112 built for owners and guests who want their itinerary measured in destinations, not distances.
Built by Custom Line, the semi-custom arm of the Ferretti Group, and delivered in 2003, she was comprehensively refitted in 2024, a two-decade gap that separates a dated early-2000s motor yacht from a current one. The refit touched interiors, systems and finishes, bringing a genuinely modern feel to a proven planing hull. Twin MTU diesels drive her to a 28-knot top speed, and at 34.13 metres she carries twelve guests across five cabins with a crew of six.
The layout is built around social space. Expansive communal areas run through the main deck, opening onto generous exterior volumes designed for a group that likes to be together. Multiple alfresco lounges, deep sunbeds and outdoor wet bars are spread across the decks, so there is always a spot in the sun and another in the shade. The elevated sundeck is the natural gathering point, a raised, open platform for long lunches, sundowners and the quiet stretch of an evening at anchor.
Inside, the 2024 refit shows in the detailing. The main saloon is bright and open, arranged for both entertaining and easy downtime, with the flow between interior and exterior kept deliberately loose. This is a yacht that lives outdoors when the weather allows and retreats to a comfortable, contemporary interior when it does not.
Her five cabins accommodate twelve guests, a generous ratio for a yacht of this length and a reflection of a layout optimised for charter. The configuration suits families and groups of friends, with the flexibility to host a full complement without anyone feeling short of space. A crew of six keeps the operation running smoothly, from the galley to the deck.
At just 1.37 metres of draft, CHAMPAGNE & CAVIAR reaches shallow bays and tucks into coves that deeper yachts must admire from a distance. Combined with her speed, that shallow draft makes her a natural fit for the Riviera and the wider Western Mediterranean, where the best anchorages are often the hardest to reach. Based in Italy, she cruises the Ligurian and French coasts with equal ease.
This is a charter yacht with a clear proposition: cover more ground, spend more time in the water and less in transit, and do it aboard a Custom Line that has been brought firmly into the present. For groups who value pace and sociability over sheer volume, she offers a fast, flexible and refreshingly uncomplicated week at sea.
Tenders and a compact toy selection deploy from the stern for swimming stops and shoreside runs, extending the day beyond the decks themselves.
From 90,000 euros per week, she sits at a sharp point in the market, a recently refitted, twelve-guest planing motor yacht from a respected Italian yard, ready to make the most of a Mediterranean summer.
