Ferretti Custom Line 108

Ferretti Custom Line, a brand of the Ferretti Group specialising in the production of planing and semi-displacement maxi yachts between 28 and 38 metres, is introducing the Custom Line 108’.|

The new project, which is part of the planing line, will make its debut next summer and is the heir to its successful 100ft predecessor, 14 of which sold in only three years.

Stefano De Vivo, Ferretti Group’s Chief Commercial Officer, underlines the value of the new project: "We have perfected an already winning product, implementing on this new 108-footer innovations that were presented during the autumn boat shows, such as the patented Dual Mode Transom system and the VOTIS infotainment system.

"And our choice has been immediately endorsed by the market: two hulls have already been sold in Europe. Over the next few months we intend to widen our new-customer base as much as possible and we hope reap the benefits of our work next summer, when the 108' will officially make its debut.”

The new boat is characterised by much larger volumes than the model it draws inspiration from, the overall length has been increased to 32.95 metres (108 ft./1 in.) and the beam is 7.25 metres (23 ft./9 in.), resulting in over one square metre more on the main deck and the flybridge. The aft area has been enlarged thanks to the installation of the Dual Mode Transom (DMT) which allows the aft door to open both upwards and downwards. This makes a float-in garage for a tender of over five metres plus a jetski.

On the main deck the superstructure and the glazed surfaces have been restyled, highlighting the visual impact of the raised pilot house. The restyling has also involved the large glazing in the master stateroom which is also on the main deck.

The cockpit is now dominated by a large sunbathing area, where the sofa can be converted into chaise longue (facing aft or forward) and into a sunpad, allowing guests to enjoy 'beach club'. The central table seating eight people completes the cockpit furniture.

Walking past the cockpit’s glass door, guests can step into the saloon, which is more than one metre larger than that found on the 100 footer. The saloon includes the living area followed by the dining area, as well as a cocktail corner near the entrance on the starboard side, furnished with a low cabinet with bottle rack/refrigerator, an icemaker, and a sliding top with optional sink. Full-height glazing, which upon request can be replaced by a sliding glazed door, opens up onto the starboard deck, at the level of the collapsible gunwale which, once lowered, turns into a charming terrace overlooking the sea.

On the lower deck there is a large lobby giving access to the the four guest cabins – two doubles aft, and two twin cabins forward.

All cabins are en-suite with separate showers; the two fore ones are furnished with a vanity set and a pouf, while the two located aft feature a desk (that can also be used as a vanity), as well as a walk-in wardrobe.

The crew quarters in the bow are also very comfortable. They are  accessed via a dinette /galley. Opposite is the captain’s cabin, with ensuite head and separate shower while two ensuite cabins with bunk beds accommodate the crew.

The massive flybridge extends over 36 square metres, and can be customised to the owner’s taste.
At the extreme bow, on the port side, is the second helm station, access to which can be gained through the sliding hatch located behind the raised pilot house; the co-pilot seat is on the starboard side.

The outdoor dining area, sheltered by a slender hard-top that can be fitted with a sliding Bimini, is furnished with a large C-shaped sofa and two tables that can be joined together. Opposite is a cocktail bar where guest can be served while comfortably seated.

The remaining part of the flybridge offers a spacious relaxation area that can be fitted with freestanding furniture. A davit for an additional water toys can however be installed upon request.

Standard power for the new 108 is two MTU 16V 2000 M94, 2638hp engines, allowing the yacht to reach a maximum speed of 26 knots and a cruising speed of 23 knots, with a range of 350 and 430 nautical miles, respectively. The range at the economical cruising speed of 12 knots will be around 1000 nautical miles (preliminary data).
