The Navetta 38 sits between the 42 and the 30 in Custom Line’s displacement range, a 38.8-metre four-deck yacht built in GRP for owners who want ocean-going volume without moving up to the flagship. Her defining feature is the stern. Custom Line rethought the beach area into a full-beam beach deck of 70 square metres, and the sun deck runs to 15 metres, giving her more usable open space aft and above than the dimensions suggest. Twin MAN V12 engines of 1,400 hp each drive shaft lines to a 15-knot top speed and a 12-knot cruise, with the displacement hull delivering a 2,800-nautical-mile range at economic speed. Below, five cabins house guests, the owner takes a main-deck suite, and crew for a full complement are berthed forward and separate. Extensive glazing and open-plan living pull the sea into the interior, a continuity the brand has pushed hard on this generation. As with every Custom Line she is semi-custom: the naval architecture and build standard are set, the interior specification the owner’s to shape. Built in Italy by the Ferretti Group, the Navetta 38 competes with the Benetti Oasis 40 and Sanlorenzo SD96 on volume, deck space and pedigree, and holds the resale strength of a proven Italian series. For a buyer, she is the balanced middle of the range, close to flagship living at a more contained size.

Twin MAN V12 engines, 1,400 hp each, drive shaft lines to a 15-knot maximum and a 12-knot cruise. The Navetta 38 is a displacement yacht, so the numbers reward economy and sea-keeping over speed, and the payoff is a 2,800-nautical-mile range at a 10-knot economic cruise, comfortably enough for long passages between cruising grounds. Fuel capacity of 32,500 litres and a laden displacement of 243 tonnes suit a yacht built to stay out rather than dash between marinas. A 2.27-metre draft keeps her flexible at anchor. The propulsion is deliberately conventional, shaft lines and proven diesels selected for reliability and simple long-range service rather than any headline efficiency figure.
The stern is where the Navetta 38 makes its case. A full-beam beach deck of 70 square metres opens the yacht to the water on a scale usually seen a size class up, and the 15-metre sun deck gives the most private open space aboard. Above the waterline the profile is unmistakably current Custom Line: low, horizontal, wrapped in deep glazing that ties the interior to the sea. Side decks are sheltered and the outdoor areas flow logically from bow to stern. The design choices are practical rather than decorative, each one aimed at how the yacht actually lives at anchor, which is where a displacement Navetta spends most of its time.
Five cabins accommodate guests below deck, with the owner given a main-deck suite and its forward view. Custom Line has pushed indoor-outdoor continuity hard on this generation, and the Navetta 38 shows it: extensive glazing and open areas create an unbroken line between the saloon and the sea. Interiors are fully customisable, so the materials, joinery and mood are the owner’s decision rather than the yard’s default. Natural light and generous ceiling heights run through the accommodation. Crew for a full complement are quartered forward and kept clear of guest circulation, so the working side of the yacht stays discreet.
The Navetta 38 spreads its social life across four decks and a reworked stern. The full-beam beach deck is the centrepiece, a 70-square-metre space for swimming, dining and sitting at the water’s edge. Above it, the main-deck saloon runs aft to a shaded cockpit, the upper deck adds a second lounge, and the 15-metre sun deck crowns the yacht. The zones are varied enough to hold a quiet family passage and a lively anchor party without reconfiguring, and movement between them is easy. For owners who spend weeks aboard, that range of spaces, from the beach deck up to the sun deck, is what keeps the yacht comfortable over a long stay.
Built in GRP in Italy by the Ferretti Group, the Navetta 38 is classed and equipped as a full superyacht, with the stabilisation and generator capacity for extended time at anchor. She is a semi-custom yacht, which for a buyer means a fixed, proven platform with open interior specification and a shorter delivery road than a one-off build. Running costs reflect a 243-tonne displacement yacht built for range, with fuel economy that suits the slower passages she is designed around. The Ferretti Group’s global service network and a healthy Custom Line resale market stand behind her, making the Navetta 38 a measured choice for an owner who wants close to flagship living without the flagship’s size or spend.
