The new flagship Custom Line 140' is 42.15m in length overall and a maximum beam of 8.57m. Created in partnership with the Product Strategy Committee led by Mr. Piero Ferrari and the Ferretti Group Engineering Department, she is the third Custom Line yacht with exterior and interior styling by Francesco Paszkowski Design and interiors in collaboration with Margherita Casprini and the Custom Line Atelier.
Custom Line 140' exterior
She has a high speed displacement hull, which enables the yacht to reach a top speed of 21.5 knots (preliminary data). With a gross tonnage of just under 400 tonnes, Custom Line 140’ will be the largest yacht ever built by the brand, using innovative lightweighting technology and hybrid materials to maintain high performance, maximum strength and impeccable safety.
Main saloon
The sleek, powerful contours share the same family feeling as the brand’s other planing yachts, with taught lines sweeping from bow to stern in an exciting alternation of materials and colours represented by light-coloured structural surfaces and dark plate glass. The hull windows are generously sized, while the floor-to-ceiling glazing on deck offers direct contact with the water, emphasised by the open stern rails. Another important detail is the painted aluminium handrail with Y-shaped uprights, an elegant and functional design feature in perfect Paszkowski style.
Sun deck
The layout features three decks for comfort, with guest and service areas clearly separated and social settings flowing seamlessly across exterior and interior spaces. The main deck, with a spacious 30 sq. m lounge, is home to the wide body owner’s cabin, also offering over 30 sq. m of space. It is fitted with a double walk-in wardrobe and a full-beam bathroom with twin sinks and both bath and shower. In the optional version, a panoramic terrace swings open to provide the owner with a private area in direct contact with the sea.
Owner suite
Emphasising this design approach, a stairway on the port hull side directly connects the internal service areas from the main deck to the sun deck via the upper deck. Aft, the water’s edge beach area is designed to offer guests a special setting for leisure activities and socialising. Completely free of technical features, this area can be furnished as desired by the owner for maximum comfort. Tender launch and recovery operations take place on the port hull side. The upper deck offering a sky lounge with forward-to-aft glazing and both exterior and interior spaces, also contains the 18 sq. m bridge with an integrated Teamitalia dashboard.
Fore deck
The chart area in this setting is reminiscent of those on passenger and cargo ships. Introducing an innovative concept, the upper deck is connected directly to the forward area by side corridors, with access also from the bridge. The result of this design approach is a single, spacious deck.
Beach club
On the lower deck are four more cabins: three VIP and a guest with twin beds. The crew area forward accommodates seven people in three double cabins, each with its own bathroom. The captain’s cabin is on the upper deck. The sun deck on Custom Line 140’ is a panoramic deck to enjoy in total privacy. Containing a relaxation area with a hydro massage tub and freestanding furniture, it can be sheltered from the sun by a bimini top.
Custom Line 140' exterior
The Custom Line 140’ superyacht will be fitted with a pair of MTU 16V 2000 M96L engines rated 2,638 mhp. Custom Line 140’, like all latest generation Custom Line yachts, will be certified according to IMO TIER III standards (International Maritime Organization) that ensure environmental protection in the shipbuilding industry by reducing toxic emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOx) in exhaust fumes, confirming that Ferretti Group’s industrial strategy has a strong focus on environmental friendliness and sustainable development.
