Custom Line continues to work at a sustained production pace in 2026, celebrating the launch of eleven new made-to-measure yachts between April and September - seven from the Navetta range and four from the Saetta range - at the Ferretti Group Superyacht Yard in Ancona.

They include two stand-out firsts. One is Custom Line Navetta 35, the new model that consolidates the strategic positioning of the displacement line in the segment under 270 GT: the first hull was launched on May 28, followed by the second on September 17, confirming strong interest in the project. The second is Custom Line Saetta 128', a new chapter in the planing line, with the first hull launched on September 30.

These results confirm Custom Line's solidity, dynamism and design continuity, all outcomes of the brand's ability to combine expert craftsmanship, technical innovation and the perfect alignment of owners, designers and highly skilled workers. Each yacht is a unique creation, designed to embody the identity, desires and lifestyle of the owner. The bespoke design process takes shape thanks to close collaboration between Ferretti Group's Engineering Department and the Custom Line Atelier, the in-house team of architects who support owners at every stage of the project - from defining the layout to selecting materials, finishes and furnishings - focusing on exclusivity, attention to detail and a culture of bespoke craftsmanship.

The launches in recent months form part of a particularly busy 2026 for the brand, which will see a total of 19 yachts launched by the end of the year: 18 composite hulls and one aluminium - Custom Line 50. These numbers bear witness to the shipyard's production capacity, combined with a level of customisation aligned with the demands of discerning international customers, blending masterful craftsmanship, functional engineering, comfort and beauty. This pace is set to continue into the new year, with four launches already scheduled for January 2027 alone.

Kicking off the spring season, the sixth Custom Line Navetta 38 hull was launched on April 1, a 299 GT made-to-measure displacement yacht with an overall length of 38.76 metres and a beam of 8 metres. The exterior styling is by architect Filippo Salvetti, while the interiors are designed by ACPV ARCHITECTS Antonio Citterio Patricia Viel. Designed with a tailor-made approach that combines refined aesthetics, ultimate liveability and an authentic connection with the water, the project puts the focus on conviviality and shared moments, from the living and dining areas on the main deck to the panoramic pool on the sun deck. Warm, cosy spaces and a palette of cream and sand tones create a wonderfully refined and bright atmosphere.

On April 14 and June 16, the launches of the twenty-ninth and thirtieth Custom Line Saetta 106' confirmed the success of this model in the planing line.

June 5 saw the launch of the eighth hull of the flagship model in the planing line, Custom Line Saetta 140', a made-to-measure yacht with a sleek and assertive silhouette. The project is the result of a joint effort by the Strategic Product Committee - which handled the exterior styling - and the Ferretti Group Engineering Department for the interiors. The design reflects the owner family's desire to experience the yacht as a place for socialising and sharing, translating this vision into generous spaces, welcoming furnishings and areas designed for socialising. On the main deck, the lounge features generous arrangements of sofas and swivel armchairs, alongside a spacious dining area with a table seating twelve. The same emphasis on socialising extends to the upper deck, where a second saloon with comfortable sofas and cosy armchairs is an invitation to enjoy more informal moments, while outside, a spacious dining and lounge area offers even more space for on-board gatherings. The stylistic choices reflect the owners' taste for a contemporary, warm and refined elegance, expressed through a palette of natural shades ranging from beige to deeper browns.

The seventh Custom Line Navetta 38 hull was launched on July 23. The interior design embodies a vision of contemporary, warm and understated elegance, in the form of bright, welcoming spaces where comfort, harmonious proportions and the flow of the layout create a refined and relaxed mood. On the main deck, the living area, centred around a large corner sofa, flows seamlessly into the dining area, designed to seat ten guests, enhancing the sense of conviviality and the pleasure of life on board. In the owner's suite, the same pursuit of balance between aesthetics and well-being creates an intimate and cosy ambience. Outside, the spaces - from the sun deck with its bar and panoramic pool to the beach area overlooking the water - offer a wealth of opportunities for relaxation and socialising. Rounding off the design is a warm, natural colour palette, in which wood finishes in shades of sandy oak and walnut are combined with cashmere-coloured lacquered surfaces.

Following the launch of the twenty-eighth Custom Line Navetta 30 on May 13, the twenty-ninth hull was launched on July 30, with interiors designed by ACPV ARCHITECTS Antonio Citterio Patricia Viel and exteriors by architect Filippo Salvetti. Measuring 28.43 metres in length and a beam of 7.3 metres, the yacht embodies a contemporary vision of life at sea, where light, comfort and harmonious spaces define an understated elegance. On the main deck, the living area - characterised by furnishings with clean, welcoming lines - complements the dining area designed for ten guests, while the upper deck offers further spaces dedicated to socialising. The interiors, with their refined and natural aesthetic, enhance the connection with the seascape through airy spaces and a pale colour palette set off by bolder accents, creating a harmonious balance between lightness and depth.

September 3 saw the launch of the eighteenth Custom Line Navetta 42, the flagship of the brand's displacement line. With a length of 41.8 metres and a beam of 8.1 metres, the yacht spans four decks and embodies a vision of life at sea where comfort, refinement and conviviality are expressed through spacious living areas. The many custom solutions include the sixth guest cabin on the upper deck and the full-custom bathroom in the owner's suite. From the beach club at the water's edge to the panoramic pool in the bow, the outdoor spaces emphasise the yacht's social character, while a bright yet natural palette, featuring anthracite details and textural accents, introduces an elegant contemporary contrast.

Capping off a busy season of launches, the first Custom Line Saetta 128' hull entered the water on September 30, marking the debut of the new model in the brand's planing line.
