Design & Layout: A True Tri-Deck Platform
In the 40–45 meter class, genuine tri-deck yachts with meaningful interior volume and defined separation between guest and crew areas remain limited. The Navetta 42 addresses this directly.
The layout accommodates 10 guests in a configuration optimized for privacy and extended time aboard. Natural light defines the main salon and upper lounge, while exterior decks are structured for both formal dining and relaxed cruising. Circulation paths allow crew to operate efficiently without disrupting guest spaces, a hallmark of well-executed semi-custom construction.
Key design advantages include:
- Balanced indoor–outdoor flow across three decks
- Dedicated crew movement and service areas
- Integrated storage that preserves exterior lines
- Proportions that reflect larger displacement yachts
The result is a 42-meter platform that feels substantial without compromising usability.
Engineering & Cruising Capability
Powered by twin Caterpillar C32 ACERT V12 engines (non-SCR), this Navetta 42 cruises comfortably at 13 knots and offers an approximate 3,000-nautical-mile range.
For buyers evaluating propulsion systems, the non-SCR configuration provides:
- Simplified mechanical architecture
- Reduced emissions-system complexity
- Broad global service accessibility
The semi-displacement hull form balances efficiency and stability, making the yacht suitable for extended coastal cruising as well as serious offshore passages.
In direct terms: This is a 42-meter tri-deck capable of long-range cruising with engineering simplicity and operational flexibility.

They know their lane, and they know their customer. The boats they produce are of very high quality, intelligently designed for both owners and crew, and they can build them at a relatively quick pace that a lot of clients find appealing.
