Ferretti have launched the first
hull of the Ferretti Custom Line 124 maxi yacht at the
Ferretti Group facility in Ancona,
Italy.
Measuring between 26 and 37 metres,
the Custom Line yacht range is made of composite
material with either a planing or semi-displacement
hull.
This was the launch of the very first
unit of the 124’ hull; Custom Line’s new
flagship.
Breaking of the bottle over the
bow keel was particularly thrilling as it symbolised
realization of the engineering and design work, artisan
production and painstaking care the shipyard takes over
every detail of the model.
Custom Line
yachts are distinguished by the ability of the
architect, in this case Gianni Zuccon from Studio Zuccon
International Project, and the owner, to personalise all
those parts of the yacht which are not purely
structural, including the woods, leathers, fabrics, and
on-board decoration and furnishings, to make each
yacht unique to her owner.
“We are very proud of our “new
arrival” and particularly excited about today, which
marks the beginning of renewed, further growth for
Custom Line” commented Marco Segato, Custom Line Brand
Manager.
Two more units have been sold and
are being built at Ancona. The yacht will be presented
as a world premier, at the upcoming Festival de la
Plaisance in Cannes”.
The designer dealt with both the
internal and external layouts, working in association
with Advanced Yacht Technology [ATI],
Ferretti Group’s naval research and design centre. The
first model features a deep blue hull with a white
superstructure, and stands out for her spacious areas
both inside and out, well-distributed between the main,
lower, upper and sun decks.
The exterior of the yacht
features soaring, light, elegant lines, distinctive
signs of Custom Line maxi yachts, thanks to installation
of an extensive glazed surface which naturally lights
the interior. The brand also offers owners the
opportunity to include special aesthetic-functional
features, such as large side doors and windowsin the
salon and platforms which create exclusive private
terraces over the sea.
The upper deck is split between
the helm station and lounge/dining area, set in a raised
position in order to guarantee total onboard
privacy. The model
also features large outdoor areas, and the cockpit has a
teak table for 10 to 12 guests. This area may be
personalised by replacing the table with a lounge area,
complete with sofas. The upper deck features a second
open air luncheon area, where a jacuzzi and sundeck can
be installed. The bow lounge area, complete with
semi-circular sofa, is a true lounge over the sea, to
which a number of sun pads have been added for sun
lovers.
Also for the interior of the
yacht, Studio Zuccon International Project realized
design solutions that features spacious areas, with a
salon measuring over 50 square metres, the master suite
and, on the lower bridge, four large guest cabins. In
all, Ferretti Custom Line 124’ can accommodate up to 10
guests, plus 6 crew members.
Moreover, the extensive range of
personalised solutions makes it possible to alter the
use of some of the areas, according to the owner’s
requests. A fitness area with top quality, last
generation wellness equipment can be installed in place
of one of the cabins, for example, or a chrome therapy
system in the heads, for a cruise centred on wellbeing.
The different areas blend
together harmoniously regards performance, too. This
yacht can reach a top speed of 27 knots (preliminary
data) with the largest MTU engine, 3510hp, and offers
the comfort guaranteed by the Mitsubishi Anti Rolling
Gyro system, which reduces rolling by over
50%.
