Born from the collaboration between the Strategic Product Department, chaired by Engineer Piero Ferrari, and the Engineering Department of Ferretti Group, the Navetta 38, launched in January 2024, is a displacement superyacht measuring 38.76 meters in length with an 8-meter beam. Its exterior lines, designed by Filippo Salvetti, are dominated by horizontal and dynamic features intersected by a triangular motif—a “simple design that is nonetheless expressive.”
Particularly notable is the “liquid treatment of the surfaces, alternating straight and convex lines.” The vast areas spanning 3 decks benefit from extreme fluidity and openness between interior and exterior spaces, offering maximum comfort in both privacy and shared experiences, maintaining continual visual and physical contact with the marine environment. This is enhanced by a beach club that transforms into a water-level terrace, courtesy of two fold-down bulwarks.
As Patricia Viel of ACPV Architects notes, who designed the interiors in collaboration with Custom Line Atelier, “a significant effort was made on the overall layout to make the Navetta 38 as ‘Custom Line’ as possible, utilizing all usable spaces.”
The result of this optimal control of all volumes is nearly 465 square meters of made-to-measure livability for 12 guests, distributed among 3 VIP cabins and one Guest cabin on the lower deck, and a 40-square-meter owner’s suite on the main deck, where the more formal living/dining salon is also located.
This space opens via extensive floor-to-ceiling windows that extend to the side walls and cockpit, furnished with modular free-standing elements. Large glass surfaces that open on three sides also characterize the 90-square-meter upper deck, which features an internal panoramic lounge, external dining and lounge areas, and a custom-made helm station.
The central lobby, fully clad in stitched leather, houses the oak staircase connecting the Navetta’s three levels. Leather, oak, teak, Pietra d’Orcia stone, linen, parchment, and raffia harmonize and alternate to create a material code extended to surfaces and furniture, favoring natural, uncoated materials, understated and refined in a palette of warm neutral colors like beige, ivory, and biscuit.
The three-dimensional structure of the oak slatted ceilings is a characteristic feature of all interiors, creating enveloping environments that adapt to the hull’s shape and become a distinctive sign of ACPV Architects’ refined contemporary vision of traditional nautical style.
