Owner Experience Review

Owners who commission CBI NAVICUSTOMprojects typically arrive with a clear brief and remain closely involved in both layout and operational decisions. Across documented examples, multi‑generation family use has driven practical choices: a main‑deck owner’s suite within a five‑cabin plan, a children’s playroom and a dedicated office, plus unusually generous provisioning with large cold storage and a bespoke wine cellar (around 800 bottles cited). The mood on board is comfortable and home‑like rather than showy, and the crew side benefits from sensible routing, including separate service/laundry access to the engine room and heavy‑duty deck gear specified for real‑world work. A 41mCBI NAVICUSTOMappears on multiple platforms for weekly charter, underlining how this concept adapts to commercial service as well.

On the water, the CUSTOMis a long‑range displacement/explorer optimized for economy and reach rather than outright speed: efficient cruising is quoted around 10.5 knots with approximately 6,900–7,000 nm of range, and a top in the 14.5–15‑knot band. Seakeeping is a strong point, with a CFD‑developed steel hull, thick plating and electric fin stabilizers credited with reducing roll and keeping motion composed in a seaway. From the pilothouse, visibility is excellent, and handling is supported by twin rudders, thrusters and substantial deck gear suited to maneuvering and heavy‑weather operations.

As with any custom steel/aluminum yacht of this scale, ownership rewards disciplined maintenance. Independent surveys of CBI NAVICUSTOMexamples have recorded bilge‑water events from an open valve leading to submerged electrical motors, oil in the bilge and localized corrosion—clear reasons to prioritize robust bilge monitoring and alarming. Ultrasonic testing has identified and prompted replacement of thin hull‑plate areas, and yard modifications such as hull extensions/ramps have been executed on some builds. Sea‑trial notes of inoperative wing‑station tachometers and other digital displays highlight the need for a thorough electronics check, and specialist periodic service for stabilizers, steel hull plating and seawater piping should be planned; older Customs commonly advertise refits and renovations.

Pros and Cons

• Approximate 6,900–7,000 nm range at about 10.5 knots suits expeditions and remote cruising.

• Composed seakeeping from a CFD‑developed steel hull, thick plating and electric fin stabilizers.

• Highly personalized, family‑oriented layouts with options like a main‑deck owner’s suite, playroom, office and large wine/cold storage.

• Custom steel/aluminum build and stabilizers require specialist periodic service and increase upkeep demands.

• Surveys have noted bilge incidents and localized corrosion, underscoring the need for vigilant monitoring and alarms.

• Older examples may have inoperative electronics and require refit work, including checks of wing‑station displays and hull plating.
