Custom Line Navetta 28 at the “Motor Boat Awards”

13 January 2016 - If a good beginning makes a good ending, this 2016, when Custom Line celebrates its 20th anniversary, is destined to become a long season of successes and awards. And it couldn't be otherwise, when your fleet may include the Navetta 28, jewel of the brand's semi-displacement series. In fact, this remarkable maxi-yacht has won the 2016 “Motor Boat Awards”, the first of this nautical year, held by IPC Media of Britain - the publishing house of some of the most famous European magazines in the sector.

 The award was presented(given, delivered) to the Italian maxi-yacht during a gala dinner on January 11th at London's Rosewood Hotel, as part of the 62nd edition of the London Boat Show, set to continue until January 17th. The Ferretti Group is attending the show together with its exclusive dealer Ventura UK. Custom Line Navetta 28 triumphed in the “Custom Yacht” category, where the other seven finalists included some of the most important new crafts introduced by major international shipyards over the past several months.

It's an award of exceptional value, as borne out by the fact that each yacht is professionally tested by expert journalists from the British publisher before it can enter the “short list” of finalists and thus be eligible to win. “We're really pleased to begin the year of Custom Line's 20th anniversary with this award that honours one of our most important yachts - said Stefano de Vivo, Ferretti Group Chief Commercial Officer - This is true not only because the prize was given in Great Britain, home of many of our most important competitors and a country with a great nautical tradition and culture, but also because it is awarded by a jury of professionals who choose the winner after an exhaustive series of sea trials and after taking into account the technical, appearance and innovative features of each yacht.

 This victory also highlights the effectiveness of the design and build strategy that Custom Line has followed over the years, a strategy that has made it one of the most commercially successful brands on international markets.”
