The Navetta 42 sits at the top of Custom Line’s displacement range, a 41.8-metre four-deck yacht built in GRP for owners who measure a yacht by how far it will take them and how well it lives once there. Her headline number is range: over 3,000 nautical miles at economic speed, a genuine transatlantic reach and a first for the brand. Twin CAT C32 engines on shaft lines give a relaxed 13-knot cruise and a 15.5-knot top end, the displacement hull trading outright speed for fuel economy and a steady ride. Volume is the other story. Five guest cabins on the lower deck can be configured as four VIP suites or five standard, while the owner enjoys a main-deck suite with its own view forward. A water-level beach club opens the stern to the sea, and a side garage launches tenders and toys without disturbing the aft deck. Design comes from the Ferretti Group Engineering department, with the clean sheerline, wide glazing and sheltered decks that mark the current Custom Line fleet. For a buyer, the Navetta 42 is a semi-custom platform: the naval architecture and build standard are fixed and proven, the interior layout and finish open to personalisation. She competes with the larger Benetti and Sanlorenzo displacement yachts on volume and range, with Italian build pedigree and a strong resale record behind her.

Range is the headline: over 3,000 nautical miles at a 10-knot economic cruise, enough to cross the Atlantic without a fuel stop. Twin CAT C32 ACERT V12 engines, each rated 1,470 hp, drive conventional shaft lines for a 15.5-knot maximum and a comfortable 13-knot cruise. This is a displacement hull, so the numbers favour economy and sea-keeping over sprint speed, and a 2.33-metre draft keeps her options open in shallow anchorages. Fuel capacity runs to 37,000 litres, laden displacement to 260 tonnes. The propulsion philosophy is deliberately unexotic: shaft lines and proven diesels chosen for reliability and simple long-range maintenance rather than headline efficiency claims. For owners planning genuine passages rather than marina-hopping, that conservatism is the point.
Her profile reads as one continuous line, low and horizontal, the four decks stacked without visual bulk. Wide bands of glazing pull light into the interior and blur the edge between inside and out, a signature of the current Custom Line fleet. The stern is the showpiece: a water-level beach club that folds the sea into the yacht, backed by a side garage that launches tenders and water toys without cluttering the main aft deck. Sheltered side decks and generous sunbathing areas span the upper levels. Nothing here is styling for its own sake; each move, from the beach club to the tender handling, answers a practical question about how the yacht is actually used at anchor.
Five guest cabins occupy the lower deck, laid out as four VIP suites or five standard cabins depending on how the owner cruises. The owner’s suite sits on the main deck forward, with a commanding view over the bow and a scale that a lower-deck master cannot match. Interiors are fully customisable, the brand’s calling card, so materials, joinery and mood are set by the owner rather than the yard. Ceiling heights and natural light are generous throughout, helped by the deep glazing. Crew accommodation for a full complement sits forward and below, kept separate from guest circulation so the service side of the yacht stays out of sight.
The Navetta 42 is built around social volume spread across four decks. The main-deck saloon flows aft to a shaded cockpit; the upper deck opens to a sky lounge and exterior seating; the sun deck crowns the yacht with the most private open space aboard. The water-level beach club is the emotional centre, a place to swim, dine and sit at sea level with the water a step away. Movement between these zones is easy and logical, and the yacht shifts from a quiet family passage to entertaining at anchor without feeling reconfigured. For long stays aboard, that variety of spaces is what keeps a big yacht comfortable.
Built in GRP in Italy by the Ferretti Group, the Navetta 42 carries the classification and systems expected of a yacht her size, including 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 road to delivery than a one-off build. Running costs reflect a 260-tonne displacement yacht built for range rather than speed, with fuel economy that rewards the slower passages she is designed for. Backed by the Group’s global service network and a healthy Custom Line resale market, she is a considered choice for an owner who wants ocean capability without the exposure of a pure custom project.
