Custom Line Navetta 42 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 42 has won 1 award, most recently for "Best Innovation (38-50m)"). Some people choose their yacht based on its power credentials and the semi-displacement hull of the 42 delivers speeds of up to 18 knots.

Accommodation

If accommodating guests overnight is your main concern, then the Custom Line 42 which offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 12 guests with its 5 cabin layout option does not match its rivals. Many of its competitors including the Gulf Craft 140 offer slightly more guest accommodation sleeping up to 14 guests in 7 cabins, making them better choices for those seeking to maximise the number of family and friends they can sleep onboard. However, for maximum comfort for the owner, the 42 features a master cabin with a his and hers en-suite bathroom, a his and hers dressing room and a study and all cabins have dedicated en-suite bathrooms for family or guest convenience. Equivalently, the Sanlorenzo 40 and Westport Yachts W130 also offer 5 cabins, but with facilities for 10 guests, however they still offer an exceptional level of comfort for family or group vacations.

Performance

When it comes to cruising speed, the Custom Line 42 delivers a steady 15 knots and can't keep up with its faster competitors such as the Sanlorenzo 40 with an impressive cruising speed of 24 knots or the Sunseeker 40M with a respectable cruising speed of 20 knots. The Custom Line 42 emphasizes stability and comfort over outright speed, catering to a different set of priorities. On the other hand, for those not in a hurry the Horizon P130, with the slowest cruising speed of 11 knots, emphasizes stability and comfort over outright speed and enjoying the journey over the destination.

Unique Characteristics

Each yacht also brings unique features to the forefront. The Wider Yachts Wider 43 impresses with its extensive range of 4,700 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The Sunseeker 42M Ocean, Westport Yachts W130, Gulf Craft 125, Wider Yachts Wider 43 and Benetti Oasis 40M all feature shallow drafts for yachts of this size, allowing them to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The performance of the Sanlorenzo 40 is especially impressive, with a top speed of 27 knots and cruising speed of 24 knots. The Sunseeker Ocean 460 has an impressive gross tonnage of 460GT, the largest of the competitors here.

Summary

Despite stiff competition, the Custom Line Navetta 42 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.

When considering a new (or indeed used) yacht, it’s certainly important to wonder about the alternatives in the Custom Line Navetta range or indeed its competitors. Browse our hand-picked selection of 22 competing models.
