The New Custom Line Saetta 128 – Superyacht Design, Market Insights & Industry Updates

Katia's article in Forbes about Ferretti Group's Custom Line Saetta: https://www.forbes.com/sites/katiadamborsky/2025/11/25/meet-the-new-yacht-designed-with-inspiration-from-a-lightning-bolt/ David and Katia sit down to discuss what’s been happening across the superyacht industry over the past few weeks. From new launches to market data, rebuilds, viewer questions and the realities of running three YouTube channels at once, this conversation covers a lot of ground. We talk about Project Ouzel, a new 29-metre sailing yacht launched in Maine; Oceanco’s Leviathan and Dreamboat; and a remarkable rebuild at Balk Shipyard that transformed the yacht Ursus beyond recognition. There’s also a look at Custom Line’s Saetta 128, including the inspiration behind the design. Katia shares fresh data from Superyacht IQ: total yacht sales this year compared to previous years, major deals between Q1 and Q3, and the year’s most expensive transactions so far. We also go deep on a topic you’ve asked about: off-market yacht sales — what they are, why they happen, and how they affect the industry. Questions from viewers include the mystery of the rising tender-hatch door and the reasons brokers and owners choose to sell yachts privately rather than listing them online. Finally, we share some behind-the-scenes updates about filming, upcoming yacht tours, and what’s coming next on the channel.
