Best New Semi-Production Series ~ Custom Line 128
Custom Line 128 motor yacht
Custom Line 128 motor yacht
The Custom Line 128, the largest boat built at Ferretti Group’s CRN shipyard under the Custom Line banner, is a beautiful and innovative semi-planing design. Built entirely in composite, this boat delivers 12-guest, eight-crew volume as well as exceptional 26-knot performance on a pair of 12-cylinder MTU 4000-series engines. Thanks to her 26.4-foot beam, Ariela – the first launch in the series – offers features never before found in a fast 40-meter yacht, including a main-deck owner’s suite, large open salon and dining area, panoramic skylounge, double VIP cabins, upper-deck captain’s cabin and large tender garage with port and starboard side doors for launching and retrieval. The yacht’s water toy access is enhanced by a large swim platform opening onto an ample-sized lazarette. The swim platform also incorporates a unique set of hydraulically operated, teak-covered steps that lower into the water for safe boarding. The Custom Line 128 also features a flybridge sun deck and a covered, terrace-style upper aft deck.
