Owner Experience Review
Across the CUSTOM2017spectrum, experience depends entirely on the specific build. Documented uses span 14 m gulets for day charters and small-group, multi-day family cruising, through to global‑explorer superyachts such as Safira. On the small‑boat end, a 2017 custom center‑console was described by its seller/owner as a head‑turner with excellent handling, cruising around 35 mph and reaching about 43 mph. At the opposite end, displacement customs report steady long‑range passages with zero‑speed stabilizers, typically cruising near 9–10 knots and topping out around 12–14 knots.
Onboard comfort is consistently highlighted in listings despite platform differences: gulet charters note generous outdoor lounging and shaded dining, while a 100' 2017 “Dauntless” spec shows a liveaboard/charter‑friendly plan with four cabins and five heads alongside a full‑beam galley, salon, flybridge, and boat deck. Charter feedback trends positive—“We had a great day. The captain and skipper were amazing.” Prospective owners and charterers should still evaluate each hull individually: some 2017 customs carry high machinery hours, wood/teak brightwork needs periodic varnish/teak oil, and the condition and value of extras (e.g., paddleboards) are worth verifying in advance.
Pros and Cons
- Versatile applications documented across CUSTOM2017builds, from small‑group gulet charters and family day trips to long‑range expedition cruising.
- Displacement examples such as Safira emphasize stable passages around 9–10 knots with zero‑speed stabilizers.
- Onboard comfort is well represented in listings, with generous outdoor lounging/shaded dining and spacious layouts (e.g., a 100' 2017 spec with 4 cabins/5 heads).
- Specifications and performance vary widely by hull—from 35–43 mph center‑consoles to 9–14 knot displacement yachts—so assumptions don’t transfer between boats.
- Some 2017 customs show high engine/generator hours, requiring close survey and budgeting for machinery overhauls.
- Wood/teak finishes demand ongoing cosmetic care, with sellers noting recent varnish and teak‑oil work.
