When I first saw the Custom Line 108 Ferretti yacht resting along the quay in Cannes<\/a>, France, I was struck by her shadow-inducing size juxtaposed with what was a relatively low profile, enhanced by glass. Lots of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Glass is used extensively on the Custom Line 108 to help connect those on board the Ferretti yacht with the salt of the ocean. For instance, the high-impact-resistant, rectangular hullside ocean-view windows in the four VIP cabins measure about 18 square feet apiece. The main-deck master\u2019s windows have a curious eyebrow look, also providing stunning saltwater vistas.\nAfter giving her a good look from the dock, I walked across the passerelle onto a deck of warm, welcoming teak. A bevy of international journalists were mingling, marveling, pointing and staring wide-eyed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This bright-white-hulled Custom Line Ferretti yacht was contemporary yet cozy; opulent, but not ostentatious; and as bright and open as you can get in 108 feet of luxury yacht. (The first four 108 hulls were sold before her debut at the Cannes Yachting Festival.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An abundance of light, both natural and LED, enhances the volume of the salon, while the bleached-oak sole seems to lengthen it. Dark oak furniture adds warmth without affecting the sense of openness. The area is built for cocktails, with a conversation-encouraging, light-fabric, C-shaped settee opposing a large sliding door that leads to the starboard-side foldout teak-deck terrace. A marble-top salon coffee table is a clever and stylish flourish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A dark oak cabinet, around the same height as the settee and just forward of it, provides a physical break between the salon and formal dining area, outfitted with a Gallotti & Radice stainless-steel glass-top dining table. The chairs feature super-soft Poltrona Frau leather.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Forward and to port of the dining area is access to the Miele-equipped galley. Crew quarters access is here too. To the starboard side of the dining area, a corridor leads to a main-deck master stateroom<\/a> with an aft-facing, king-size berth and flat-screen TV mounted into the bulkhead. Abaft the berth to starboard is the master head, while abaft to port is a walk-in closet that will satisfy any clotheshorse. Beyond the view, those flanking side windows flood the room with light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bleached-oak steps off the same corridor lead belowdecks to the guest accommodations, with two VIP suites and two twin-berth staterooms. All have en suite heads and are finished to the same level as the master.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Walking back across the passerelle, my view from the quay changed. The Custom Line 108 wasn\u2019t a large, shadow-inducing Ferretti yacht, but instead the best in waterfront living.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
