Owner Experience Review
Owners typically run the CL 97byFERRETTI CUSTOM LINEas a private family yacht with a full-time crew, and several examples transition smoothly into crewed charter in the Mediterranean. The layout and deck plan suit weekend entertaining just as well, with a large flybridge, a generous aft deck for al fresco dining, and a beach‑club‑style stern that encourages easy days on the water.
Underway and at anchor, the boat is praised for its stability: many yachts are fitted with Mitsubishi ARG gyros (working both zero‑speed and underway) alongside fin stabilisers, delivering strong roll reduction. Reported performance is confident, with comfortable cruise in the mid‑20s knots (around 24–27 kt depending on load) and top speeds near 28–29 knots at half load. A launch review summed up the appeal as a combination of generous spaces and ocean‑going security that gives the CL 97real panache.
On board, a five‑ensuite‑cabin arrangement is common, often including a full‑beam master on the main deck for owner privacy, plus a domestic‑style galley (frequently specified with Gaggenau/Miele in listings) and dedicated crew quarters. Maintenance expectations are serious but manageable with proper planning: the typical MTU 16V2000 (M91/M93) installation benefits from authorised routine service, while major W‑series overhauls are significant cost events; gyro and stabiliser systems are generally robust yet still see service during refits. Many listings note a full‑time engineer/crew, reflecting the hands‑on systems management these yachts reward.
Pros and Cons
- Excellent stability at anchor and underway thanks to commonly fitted Mitsubishi ARG gyros and fin stabilisers.
- Five‑ensuite‑cabin layout with a main‑deck full‑beam master supports private family use and guest capacity.
- Expansive flybridge and aft deck, often with wet bar/Jacuzzi, suit al fresco dining and social weekends.
- Major MTU 16V2000 W‑series overhauls are costly and require forward planning.
- Efficient operation typically assumes a full‑time engineer/crew and ongoing systems attention.
- Despite low‑maintenance claims, gyro/stabiliser units still need periodic service during refits.
