Custom Line Navetta 28 (2014 - 2019) Rivals

Which yacht is best for you? As always, it’s all about personal choice. Some people choose a yacht on its characteristics (incidentally the 28 has won 1 award, most recently for "Custom Yachts"). Some people choose their yacht based on its power credentials and the semi-displacement hull of the 28 delivers speeds of up to 16 knots.

Accommodation

If your priority is guest accommodation then the Custom Line 28 offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 10 guests with its 5 cabin layout option. Some of its rivals, including the Sunseeker 95 and Monte Carlo Yachts 96, share the same 10 guest sleeping capacity, making them excellent choices for those seeking to enjoy their yachting experience with family and friends. The 28 benefits from a master cabin with an en-suite bathroom, a dressing room and full-standing headroom is a standout and all cabins have dedicated en-suite bathrooms for family or guest convenience. The Hatteras M90 Panacera and Gulf Craft 95 SUV, although designed for slightly smaller groups of 10 guests in 4 cabins, still offer an exceptional level of comfort for family getaways.

Performance

When it comes to cruising speed, the Custom Line 28 has been designed for those not in a hurry, with the slowest cruising speed of the group at 13 knots and a top speed of 16 knots. The Custom Line 28 emphasizes stability and comfort over outright speed and its target audience will be those who enjoy the journey over the destination. The title for the fastest cruising speed goes to the Riva 90' Argo which has an impressive cruising speed of 26 knots powered by its twin 2,185hp MTU 16V 2000 M84 engines and can reach a top speed of 30 knots. This is closely followed by the Ferretti Yachts 920 with a notable cruising speed of 26 knots and top speed of 30 knots.

Unique Characteristics

Each yacht also brings unique features to the forefront. The Monte Carlo Yachts 96 impresses with its extensive range of 2,787 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The shallow draft of the Gulf Craft 90 allows it to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The performance of the Riva 90' Argo is especially impressive, with a top speed of 30 knots and cruising speed of 26 knots. The Gulf Craft 95 SUV has an impressive gross tonnage of 200GT, the largest of the competitors here.

Summary

Despite stiff competition, the Custom Line Navetta 28 stands out with notable features and design elements. These yachts cater to a wide range of preferences and needs, making the choice a matter of personal taste and specific requirements in the world of luxury yachting.
