In this version, the upper deck serves as a sky lounge with al fresco dining facilities. The accommodation for eight guests on the lower deck comprises four generous cabins with en suite bathrooms.  Smooth service is ensured with independent crew access to guest areas and spacious pantries on the main and upper decks, both served by a dumb waiter from the large galley. For operational efficiency, the chef engineer’s cabin is next to the engine room and the captain’s cabin behind the bridge. There is also a dedicated laundry room on the lower deck.  The Rosetti 48m Supply Vessel is to be powered by twin MTU 1448hp engines or Cats 1300hp reaching a predicted top speed of 16 knots and cruise at 14 knots.

Project: Ferretti Custom Line 106

Ferretti Custom Line is broadening the horizons of yachting with a new project that got an enthusiastic response from the public and members of the trade at the recent US boat shows. The Custom Line 106 is a new addition to the planing range. The 106 is a product of the partnership between the Francesco Paszkowski Design studio, his second for Ferretti Custom Line and follows the 120 which was launched at the end of 2017, the Ferretti Group's Engineering Department and the Product Strategy Committee led by the engineer Piero Ferrari. The design of the lines on the bottom and the hull helps it to replicate and build on the outstanding hydrodynamic performance of the latest models in the brand’s planing range. The Ferretti Custom Line 106 has large floor surfaces totaling 220 square meters that are all interconnected. To the stern is a more advanced version of the patented Dual Mode Transom system. It features two hatches that cover the stairs when the vessel is in motion, thus giving the stern a clean-cut appearance. When the super yacht stops, they disappear into the central part of the door so that guests can climb up. From the garage, a tender of up to 5.45 meters and a three-person jet ski can be lowered into the water. The forward area is even bigger than on other recent models: on the raised central island there are sofas and upholstered seating with reclining backrests and on the bow area there is a large sun pad spanning a total of 36 squared meters. There is also an additional garage for a Williams 2.80 Jet or a three-person jet ski.  The forward area is directly connected to the 53 squared meters flybridge by a walkway. Protected by two large windows on the sides, it has a standard hard top with two skylights. In addition, bimini tops or canopies can be fitted to provide shade in the external areas. The interiors are bathed in natural light thanks to the large, full-height windows. On request, the central window on the starboard side of the lounge can be fitted with an electric opening mechanism. The support columns used on the Custom Line 120 can also be found here, with lighting, audio and air conditioning systems on them. Further along the starboard side, there is a full-beam master cabin in the foredeck which contains plenty of storage space for the owner, as well as two dressing rooms and a large bathroom with dual facilities and a central shower. On request, a panoramic terrace can be added. The port-side bulwark of the main deck provides access to the galley, the crew quarters; consisting of a cabin for the captain with a bathroom and a separate shower, and two crew cabins with a separate bathroom, and the integrated raised bridge. The layout on the lower deck contains four standard cabins: two VIP cabins amidships and two twin ones forward, all with separate bathrooms. The beds in the VIP cabins face the bulwark to make the most of the view from the large hull windows, while an optional additional Pullman bed can be fitted in each of the two twin cabins. The style of the vessel continues in the same vein as the Ferretti Custom Line 120: it explores greater formal balance and there are distinctive, strong color contrasts in the furnishings and coverings. Like the other recent Custom Line models, the 106 comes with innovative software that allows an iPad to be used to operate the entertainment system installed in the lounge on the main deck, meaning that the various remote controls can be replaced by a single device. This technological solution can be extended to all of the different parts of the maxi yacht and it can also be used in conjunction with the owner’s personal devices. The Ferretti Custom Line 106 is to be powered by twin MTU 2217hp engines, which can take it to a maximum speed of 23 knots. Alternatively, it is possible to ask for twin MTU 2638hp engines and reach a maximum speed of 26 knots. The standard version is equipped with electro-hydraulic stabilizing fins, offering both underway and zero-speed modes. On request, gyroscopic stabilizers can also be fitted for maximum comfort at anchor.
