Belle Ile

A crew of five looking after eight guests puts fewer than two guests to each crew member, and it says something about what owning Belle Ile is meant to feel like: fully crewed, not self-run. Custom Line built her in 2023 as part of the Navetta 30 series, and she lies in Italy today.

Build and provenance

Belle Ile is a Custom Line Navetta 30, a displacement motor yacht on a monohull, built and delivered in 2023 at 28 metres, 93 feet, with a beam of 7.3 metres and a draft of 2.2 metres. At 199 gross tonnes she carries real volume for her length, and a build this recent means a buyer inherits a short history rather than years of prior ownership decisions.

Layout and accommodation

Eight guests are accommodated in four cabins, with a crew of five, a split that keeps guest space and crew space clearly separate. That is the kind of cover that keeps service running without an owner or guest ever needing to think about it.

Performance and engineering

Two MAN engines of 1,000 hp each give Belle Ile a 13-knot cruise and a 14.5-knot top speed, figures for a displacement hull built to cover ground steadily rather than plane. She carries zero-speed stabilisers and a Seakeeper gyro.

On deck and at anchor

The sun deck carries an on-deck jacuzzi and a barbecue, and a gym below gives guests a reason to stay active between anchorages. A tender is carried for the short hops ashore.

Where she lies and how to see her

Belle Ile lies in Italy. We set up viewings and are present for each one, and once a buyer's offer is accepted we bring in the surveyor and arrange the sea trial before anything moves to handover.
