The Navetta 38 features a stylish and imposing exterior design.
The Custom Line Navetta 38 was launched in January 2024, heralding a new era in displacement yacht design by providing outstanding comfort, artistic elegance, and state-of-the-art engineering.
Created by the Ferretti Group’s Strategic Product Committee, spearheaded by Piero Ferrari, with exteriors designed by Filippo Salvetti and interiors crafted by ACPV Architects Antonio Citterio Patricia Viel, the Navetta 38 enhances the brand’s bespoke identity.
