The new Custom Line 97’...

A new line of the Custom Line fleet is born! After the success of the Custom Line 94’ that saw a total of 21 units sold in six years, this brand has announced the debut of the new Custom Line 97’ for the 2005-2006 season.

This 29.5 meter planing hull is an evolution of the Custom Line 94’ and keeps many of the fundamental characteristics that made it a success. The vessel is a result of the ongoing co-operation between the CRN shipyard and the Zuccon International Project Studio that plans the Interior and Exterior layouts. Significant refinements has allowed an interior layout of four sizeable double guest cabins below deck, one more than the Custom Line 94’.

The new 97’s incorporate windows into the hull, so that each guest cabin has a large oval glass panel from which the guests can appreciate the surrounding sea. Underwater lights are provided as a standard feature to enhance this experience at night.

The lobby below deck has also been slightly enlarged with an extra crew cabin, allowing a total of 10 guests and 5 crew to enjoy life aboard. The aft garage has also been enlarged so that a lager tender can be housed as well. All of the structural modifications made to the Custom Line 97’ comply with the MCA Short Range coding, the latest safety regulations issued by the Maritime Coastguard Agency for charter use.

The newly designed transom features a garage door, a swim ladder, a larger cockpit area and results in a generous dining area with a novel aft-facing sun-sofa. The revamped design also upgrades the flybridge, where a new relaxation area has been included in the forward area.

The new Cutom Line 97’ has a hard top with a central opening. Sun or shade can be chosen by opening or closing the aperture, giving greater flexibility to the flybridge.

Owners can choose between two engine options. The Custom Line 97’ is equipped with two MTU 16v 2000 M93 1790 kW engines and can reach a maximum speed of 29 knots (at half load) and a cruising speed of 27 knots. An engine option of two MTU 16v 2000 M91 1470 kW is also available. Possibly the most incredible feature of these vessels is are the four Mitsubishi ARG (Anti Rolling Gyros) installed in the engine room.

As with all other Custom Line maxi-yachts with planing hulls, the hull design allows the vessel to travel at displacement speeds, between 12 and 14 knots, whilst maintaining trim and reducing fuel consumption on extended voyages.

The increasing requirements of ever more demanding owners has led to extensive research by the team at CRN, who are proud to present this newly refined yacht.
