35m Custom Line Navetta 35 Set for World Debut at Cannes Yachting Festival 2026

A contemporary successor shaped by Italian design

Created through the collaboration of the Strategic Product Committee chaired by Piero Ferrari and the Ferretti Group Engineering Department, the motor yacht has been developed to strengthen Custom Line's position in the displacement yacht market below 270GT. The exterior styling introduces a cleaner and more contemporary interpretation of the Navetta family, showcasing sculpted surfaces, muscular forms and carefully balanced proportions. Inspired by automotive design, the profile projects a dynamic presence while maintaining the timeless elegance expected of a long-range cruising yacht. Particular attention has been paid to the design of the hull sides and stern, creating a stronger visual connection with the surrounding seascape while enhancing the feeling of openness throughout the yacht.

The superyacht's layout has been conceived to maximise enjoyment of life on the water, with a collection of interconnected exterior spaces encouraging relaxation and socialising. One of the standout areas is the expansive 58-square-metre sundeck, which can be configured around a central lounge or sky bar beneath the hardtop. A dedicated bow solarium provides panoramic views ahead, while owners can opt for a spa pool aft surrounded by sunpads. The upper deck further reinforces the yacht's outdoor focus, featuring a 44-square-metre cockpit with dining for 10 guests alongside a full-beam lounge. Forward, a sea-facing sunset lounge creates another inviting space for enjoying time outdoors. Visitors attending the Cannes Yachting Festival 2026 will have the opportunity to experience these outdoor living spaces firsthand when the yacht makes its world debut at the show.

The boat's interiors are centered around openness, flexibility and natural light. Extensive floor-to-ceiling glazing throughout the main and upper deck salons blurs the distinction between interior and exterior spaces, creating uninterrupted views and a stronger connection to the sea. A redesigned staircase arrangement eliminates the need for an external staircase aft on the main deck, freeing up valuable living space while improving circulation throughout the yacht. Accommodation includes a spacious owner's suite on the main deck and four guest cabins below, while bespoke freestanding furniture designed by Antonio Citterio reinforces the sense of visual lightness. Owners can further personalise the interiors through a choice of design schemes ranging from the bright and contemporary Light Mood concept to the more dramatic Contrast Chocolate Mood and refined Contrast Oyster Mood palettes.

Designed for long-range cruising, the Navetta 35 offers a range of up to 1,750 nautical miles at 10 knots with twin 1,400hp MAN V12 engines that produce a top speed of 15 knots, while optional 1,622hp Caterpillar C32 engines increase top speed to 16 knots. Standard Sleipner fin stabilisers, with optional Seakeeper gyroscopic stabilisation, enhance comfort underway and at anchor. The yacht can also be fitted with an SCR system to reduce NOx emissions in line with IMO Tier III regulations. A stern garage accommodates a five-metre tender and jet ski, while the 2.2-metre draft supports cruising in shallow-water destinations.

According to YachtBuyer MarketWatch, Custom Line continues to broaden its yacht range with models designed for a variety of cruising styles and owner preferences. Alongside the new Navetta 35, the builder's lineup includes the 42m Navetta 42 superyacht, which offers substantial internal volume and long-range cruising capability, and the 38m Custom Line Navetta 38 motor yacht, whose contemporary styling language directly influenced the design of the new model. For readers interested in exploring these yachts in greater detail, YachtBuyer reviews of both the Navetta 42 and Navetta 38 provide further insight into their design, performance and onboard features.
