Presented to the best new series yacht, this category honours innovation, aesthetics, R&D and potential commercial appeal. Ferretti Group tapped Francesco Paszkowski and Margherita Casprini to work with its Strategic Product Committee and engineers for a new flagship – the Custom Line 120 – focused on removing boundaries between interior and exterior. With styling cues from the automotive sector, the profile has a sleek, powerful look from single long window lines and a deeply notched bulwark. Ferretti Group innovated a glass aft bulkhead for the main saloon that either slides open like a regular door or lifts in one piece, storing in the aft deck overhead, totally opening the main deck from stern rail to the owner’s suite door. The vessel hits the performance mark as well, with a 25 knots top-end speed and 1,150nm range at 11 knots. Competitively priced among its peers, orders for sister ships were received in the model’s first season.
