The Navetta 30 opens Custom Line’s displacement range, a 28.4-metre four-deck yacht that brings full superyacht layout and long-range manners into a more manageable size. She is the first Custom Line drawn by exterior architect Filippo Salvetti, with interiors by Antonio Citterio Patricia Viel, and the pairing shows: crisp, contemporary lines outside, calm and material-led spaces within. Twin MAN V8 engines of 1,000 hp each drive shaft lines for a 14.5-knot maximum and a 13-knot cruise, while the displacement hull returns a 2,050-nautical-mile range at economic speed. Five cabins accommodate guests below, with the owner given a proper main-deck presence rare at this length. A 2.2-metre draft and 135-tonne displacement keep her flexible for Mediterranean and island cruising. As with every Custom Line, she is semi-custom: the naval architecture and build are fixed, the interior specification open to the owner. Built in GRP in Italy by the Ferretti Group, the Navetta 30 answers a specific brief, an owner who wants the four-deck volume, beach club and crew provision of a larger Navetta without stepping up to a 38 or 42-metre platform and its running costs. She sits against the Benetti Oasis 34 and Sanlorenzo SD range on layout and pedigree, and carries the resale confidence of a high-volume Italian series builder.

Twin MAN V8 engines, 1,000 hp each, drive conventional shaft lines to a 14.5-knot top speed and a 13-knot cruise. As a displacement yacht she is built for economy and comfort rather than pace, and the payoff is a 2,050-nautical-mile range at a 10-knot economic cruise, enough for extended Mediterranean seasons and island-hopping without constant fuelling. A 2.2-metre draft opens up shallow anchorages that larger Navettas must skip, and a 135-tonne laden displacement keeps her steady in a seaway. Fuel capacity of 14,500 litres is sized to the range rather than to speed. The engineering is conventional by design, chosen for reliability and straightforward maintenance over any headline efficiency claim.
Filippo Salvetti’s exterior is the Navetta 30’s calling card. The profile is taut and horizontal, the glazing generous, the decks layered so that four levels read as a single clean form rather than a stack. Custom Line positioned the design as a deliberate departure, a new line rather than an evolution, and the confidence shows in the uncluttered surfaces and continuous sheerline. The stern carries the range’s beach-club thinking down to the water, and sheltered side decks and a full sun deck give the yacht more usable open space than her length suggests. It is styling with restraint, contemporary without chasing a trend that will date.
Antonio Citterio Patricia Viel shaped the interior around light and material rather than ornament. Five cabins house guests, with the owner given a main-deck suite, a layout usually reserved for larger yachts and a genuine draw at this size. The mood is calm and contemporary, built on fine materials and clean detailing, and as a semi-custom yacht the specification is the owner’s to set. Natural light floods in through the wide glazing, and ceiling heights stay generous across the accommodation. Crew quarters sit forward and separate, so a smaller professional team can run the yacht without crossing guest space.
For a 28-metre yacht the Navetta 30 offers an unusual spread of social spaces. The main-deck saloon opens aft to a shaded cockpit, the upper deck gives a second lounge and exterior seating, and the sun deck crowns the yacht with its most private open area. The water-level beach club brings guests down to the sea for swimming and relaxed dining. The zones are distinct enough that a family cruising quietly and a group entertaining at anchor can each find their space, and moving between them is natural. That variety is what lets a compact superyacht carry a full guest complement in comfort.
Built in GRP in Italy by the Ferretti Group, the Navetta 30 is classed and equipped as a full superyacht, with the stabilisation and generator capacity for comfortable time at anchor. Her appeal to an owner is efficiency: four-deck volume, a main-deck master and a beach club in a hull that berths, crews and runs more cheaply than a 38 or 42-metre Navetta. Semi-custom build means a fixed, proven platform with open interior specification and a delivery timeline shorter than a one-off. Behind her stands the Ferretti Group’s worldwide service network and a strong Custom Line resale market, which together make the smallest Navetta a sensible first step into the brand rather than a compromise.
