Owner Experience Review

Owners and charter operators use the 142 LUXURY SAFARI YACHTbyCUSTOMfor large‑group family cruising and dive‑focused itineraries in the Maldives. Listings and reviews consistently describe spacious, light interiors with many equal‑sized en‑suite cabins accommodating roughly 12–28 guests, plus generous outdoor areas—sundeck with jacuzzi, gym/spa, and a large swim platform set up as a beach‑club. Charter guestbooks echo the experience: "The crew were spectacular! ... We will never forget the time we had here!" and "Cabins awesome. Been on a few liveaboards and by far this is the best."

On the water, the steel hull is credited with strong seakeeping and stability, while the shallowish draft helps with atoll access. Expect a typical 11–13‑knot cruise, around 15 knots max, and roughly 1,500 NM of range to support remote, expedition‑style routes. Maintenance aligns with the brief: twin Caterpillar C18 mains are generally durable but demand disciplined servicing and experienced CAT marine diagnostics, and the steel hull brings recurring coatings, cathodic protection, and inspection work—listings may show an "immaculate engine room," but that standard reflects ongoing attention.

Pros and Cons

Steel hull delivers expedition‑style stability, and the shallowish draft is repeatedly noted as helpful for Maldives/atoll access.

Cabin plan suits large groups, with many equal‑size en‑suite staterooms highlighted in listings and reviews.

Strong outdoor living setup including sundeck/jacuzzi, gym/spa and a large swim platform/beach‑club.

Twin Caterpillar C18s require disciplined maintenance and experienced CAT support, with parts and diagnostics costs to match.

Steel hull ownership entails recurring anti‑corrosion coatings, cathodic protection and structural inspections.

Modest top speed near 15 knots limits pace on long repositioning legs.
