Custom Line Navetta 38 M/Y TELLI, the new made-to-measure yacht in the brand’s Navetta line, received prizes in two categories at the eagerly awaited BOAT International Design and Innovation Awards 2025: Best Interior Design – Motor Yachts 499GT and below, 40m and above; and Outstanding Exterior Design – Motor Yachts 24m to 41.9m. The award ceremony took place on the evening of Sunday February 2 in the magnificent alpine setting of Kitzbühel (Austria) at an event attended by many leading names in the yachting world.
“Custom Line’s double victory with Navetta 38 M/Y Telli in the “Outstanding Exterior Design – Motor Yachts 24m to 41.9m” and “Best Interior Design – Motor Yachts 499GT and below, 40m and above” categories is a success that rewards the uniqueness of this spectacular made-to-measure yacht. Her triumph at the “BOAT International Design & Innovation Awards 2025” rewards our design and engineering quality and confirms what we were seeking to do with the design and construction of this magnificent superyacht: Custom Line Navetta 38 is an artwork of incomparable elegance, a masterpiece that weaves spaces, design, style and art into an infinite dialogue with the sea,” said Ferretti Group CEO Alberto Galassi.
The BOAT International Design & Innovation Awards 2025, organised by BOAT International Media, the renowned publishing group serving the global yachting community, with a jury made up of designers, naval architects, superyacht captains and global yachting industry experts, reward newly designed yachts for their design, style and comfort, while also taking account of their innovative technology and engineering.
Custom Line Navetta 38, with a length of 38.76 m, a beam of 8.00 m and a gross tonnage of 299GT, is the result of collaboration between the Product Strategy Department led by Piero Ferrari and the Ferretti Group Engineering Department. With exterior styling by architect Filippo Salvetti and interior design by ACPV ARCHITECTS Antonio Citterio Patricia Viel, the new Custom Line Navetta 38 expresses the values of fine craftsmanship, high quality, generous volumes, absolute comfort, functional design and innovation that have been part of the brand’s bespoke DNA from the outset.
Custom Line Navetta 38 was victorious in the Best Interior Design – Motor Yachts 499GT and below, 40m and above category, winning the jury over with her made-to-measure interiors, generous glazing and mirror surfaces that establish a close relationship between interior and exterior, in direct contact with the natural light, the sea and the surrounding environment. Navetta 38 won the Best Interior Design award for its fluid, refined elegance, pleasing consistency, and subtle yet eye-catching details, all enhanced by a soft-colored palette. Attention to detail in the customisation of the furnishings, the materiality of the surfaces and the definition of the spaces, as well as the use of a natural palette of delicate sand and ivory colour tones, help create a smooth and fluid balance with the ambience. Refined elegance and absolute comfort contribute to the wellbeing of both owner and guests. These superlative aesthetic and design standards are the result of collaboration with ACPV ARCHITECTS Antonio Citterio Patricia Viel, who revisited the stylistic features of maritime tradition – from the concept to the colour palette – through a contemporary lens in order to create a unique living experience.
The award in the Outstanding Exterior Design – Motor Yachts 24m to 41.9m category recognises the extremely refined contemporary design and understated lines of this yacht, which are the overall focus of this masterpiece of design and technology. The jury also appreciated the total integration between interior and exterior spaces, as well as the clear separation between guest areas and crew workspaces to ensure maximum privacy for the owner. Another key factor for the judges was Navetta 38’s cleverly conceived foredeck, which enhances both functionality and aesthetics on board. The exterior spaces, including the beach club – a distinctive feature of Custom Line Navetta 38 – and the sundeck – which has a total surface area of 65 square metres, a length of 15 metres and is split into four virtual outdoor areas with a unique 360-degree sea view – were other factors influencing the judges’ decision.
