The compact 28 metre Custom Line Navetta 30 has a glass breakfast bar perched on the sundeck, giving its owners spectacular morning views. Its resort-like, barefoot informality complements the conviviality of the upper deck with Ferretti's chief executive officer Alberto Galassi referring to the area as his favourite on the yacht. "The sundeck is huge," he said. "You could have a game of football there."
The top deck of 69.55 metre Elysian is party central, with a kitchen, grill and bar, a drop-down cinema screen and a sound system and DJ set-up for a disco. Delivered by Lürssen in 2014, Elysian features exterior styling by the world-renowned Espen Øino and a sumptuous Reymond Langton Design interior that provides accommodation for up to 12 guests.
