The Custom Line 140 is a flagship model from Custom Line, a brand established over 25 years ago by Ferretti Group to cater to the high-end semicustom flybridge yacht market. This 42.6-meter yacht with just under 400 gross tons is designed for discerning customers seeking luxury, performance, and customization.
Design and Features
The Custom Line 140 was developed in collaboration with Italian designer Francesco Paszkowski, known for his innovative and sporty design approach. This model features a wedge-shaped profile and dark strip glazing, giving it a distinctive and dynamic appearance. Unique details like the Y-shaped stanchions on the main deck, sculpted aluminum pieces, and extensive use of high-end materials like blue granite and American walnut add to its luxurious appeal.
The yacht boasts over 200 square meters of open-air real estate, including a large sunbathing and seating area on the foredeck, an alfresco dining space on the upper deck aft, and a sundeck equipped with a bar and hot tub. Additionally, the fold-down transom transforms the stern into a water-level beach club, leading to a semi-floodable tender garage and engine room.
Interior and Customization
Inside, the yacht features a clean, contemporary design by Paszkowski and Margherita Casprini, with an emphasis on customization. Owners can choose from a variety of materials, finishes, and top designer brands to personalize the yacht's interiors. The main saloon impresses with its full-height windows and high ceilings, creating a bright and airy atmosphere.
The 44-square-meter full-beam master stateroom on the main deck forward includes an optional private foldout balcony, a feature that has become popular among Custom Line 140 owners. Guest accommodations comprise four ensuite staterooms on the lower deck, with the option to convert one cabin into a gym, office, or media room. The captain’s cabin is on the bridge deck, and there are three crew cabins forward on the lower deck.
Performance
Powered by twin MTU engines, the Custom Line 140 reaches a top speed of 21-22 knots, making it one of the fastest semi-planing yachts in its class. The yacht achieves a fast cruise speed of 17 knots with a range of around 700 nautical miles, which extends to 1,500 nautical miles at an economical speed of 12 knots. The lightweight construction, with extensive use of carbon fiber for the upper deck and sundeck, contributes to these impressive performance figures.
The Custom Line 140 meets IMO Tier III standards and is equipped with Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) units to reduce nitrogen oxide emissions, demonstrating a commitment to environmental sustainability.
Conclusion
The Custom Line 140 is a testament to Custom Line's dedication to innovation, luxury, and customization. With its blend of sporty design, extensive outdoor spaces, luxurious interiors, and high performance, it stands as a top choice for yacht enthusiasts looking to upsize while maintaining a high level of personalization and quality.
