Blending maritime tradition and superlative craftsmanship, the Navetta 30 offers unprecedented luxury at sea
The Navetta 30 is like floating poetry. Another one of the superyachts from Italy’s Custom Line makes its way to Hong Kong this December, blending maritime tradition, natural materials and superlative craftsmanship. Charming and elegant, she makes an emphatic contemporary style statement.
The 28.43-metre Navetta 30 has a top speed of 14 knots and a range of 2,100 nautical miles when cruising at 10 knots, and has been fitted with stabilising fins and sea keepers, or gyroscopic stabilisers, for complete comfort at anchor. A brace of eco-friendly MANi-6 engines keep carbon dioxide and nitrogen dioxide emissions to a minimum.
The Navetta 30’s immense power bank is encased in a design of sheer beauty, with exteriors conjured up by Filippo Salvetti and interiors conceived by renowned architectural practice Antonio Citterio Patricia Viel.
The overall design incorporates elements that are as intriguing as they are original, ranging from the choice of natural materials such as leather, wood and rope, to the way it makes use of light. Throughout the Navetta 30 are numerous references to the circle as the perfect symbol; the design also hints at the rounded lines that characterised boats in the past, whether coracles or quinqueremes, while the custom design of the resin-film wall coating, consisting of quartz powder on glass fibre, is utterly 21st century.
