C.Boat 90 Domus: 27 meters of Italian elegance, combining custom design and long-range autonomy

The concept of a custom yacht takes on a particularly concrete dimension in the new C.Boat 90 Domus, a project born from the collaboration between Custom Boat and designer Paolo Tamburini. It is a motor yacht with an overall length of 27 meters that aims to combine structural solidity, range, comfort, and design freedom.

Built in Ancona and therefore possessing a 100% Italian soul, the C.Boat 90 Domus was created around a clear principle: offering every owner the opportunity to configure the spaces according to their own way of experiencing the sea. The result is a yacht of significant proportions, characterized by large windows, bright interiors, and an architectural layout designed to create continuity between inside and outside.

The construction can be executed in steel and aluminum or entirely in aluminum. The maximum beam is 7.10 meters, and the waterline length remains under 24 meters.

C.Boat 90 Domus, a custom project built in Ancona

The C.Boat 90 Domus represents the culmination of over twenty years of experience by Custom Boat in building yachts and superyachts. Over the years, the Ancona-based shipyard has built more than 40 units, acquiring specific know-how in the construction of customized vessels. The project designed by Paolo Tamburini interprets this experience through contemporary lines that are not tied to fleeting trends. Indeed, the aesthetic language focuses on durability over time, while the interior design is planned to make the most of the volumes generated by the hull’s dimensions.

The Domus 90 is thus proposed as a sort of residence on the sea, with a space distribution that can be modified according to the owner’s needs.

Configurable layout with up to five cabins

One of the yacht’s most interesting features is the option to choose between three, four, or five cabins, all equipped with an en-suite bathroom. This flexibility allows the Domus 90 to be configured both as a yacht intended for family and private cruises and as a vessel capable of hosting a larger number of guests during extended stays.

The large panoramic windows contribute to making the interiors exceptionally bright and establish a direct connection with the surrounding landscape. The layout also includes a crew area, an essential feature on a yacht of this size.

The ability to customize the interior configuration represents one of the primary defining elements of the project: the Domus 90 was not born as a standard product to be adapted to the owner’s needs, but rather as a design platform upon which to build a truly customized vessel.

The generous dimensions of the C.Boat 90 Domus

Dimensions represent a central element of the C.Boat 90 Domus’s architecture. With an overall length of 27 meters and a beam of 7.10 meters, the yacht features volumes that allow for a layout comparable in terms of livability to units belonging to higher categories. The special attention given to glass surfaces further amplifies the perception of space, allowing natural light to flood the interiors and maintaining a constant relationship between the inside and the sea.

The choice of materials reflects the Domus 90’s dedication to solidity and durability. The project can be built in steel and aluminum or with a full-aluminum construction, leaving room for different interpretations of the design depending on the owner’s requirements. Construction in Ancona enables the shipyard to maintain direct control over the production process and customizations.

The combination of a structure designed for long-range cruising and extensive options for customization positions the Domus 90 in the custom yacht segment intended for an owner seeking a product built around their personal lifestyle.

Two Caterpillar C18 engines and a top speed of 14 knots

On the propulsion front, the C.Boat 90 Domus adopts a pair of Caterpillar C18 engines delivering a total output of 1,216 horsepower. The declared maximum speed is 14 knots, while the cruising speed is 11 knots. These values align with a design philosophy focused more on ride quality and range than on the pursuit of absolute speed. Indeed, the Domus 90 is conceived as a cruising yacht where comfort, stability, and the ability to spend long periods on board take priority.

A villa on the sea

The name Domus effectively summarizes the philosophy of the project. The interiors are designed to offer a sense of continuity and openness, featuring generous spaces and large glass surfaces that turn the relationship with the landscape into one of the central elements of the on-board experience.

The interior layout, the configurability of the cabins, and the presence of a crew area make it possible to envision various usage scenarios, from family cruising to longer voyages with a professional crew. The goal is to surpass the traditional distinction between a yacht and a luxury residence, transferring some of the principles of contemporary residential architecture onto the water.

Customization as a central element of the C.Boat 90 Domus

In the custom segment, personalization represents much more than an aesthetic choice. In the case of the C.Boat 90 Domus, it involves the distribution of spaces, the number of cabins, the areas dedicated to the crew, and, more generally, the way the yacht is organized around the owner’s needs. It is precisely this ability to shape the project that sets the C.Boat 90 Domus apart from series-production models: the baseline design remains defined, but the final interpretation can change significantly, transforming every unit into a vessel with its own unique identity.

Conclusions

The C.Boat 90 Domus represents a perfect synthesis between traditional Italian shipbuilding and a contemporary vision of the custom yacht. Its 27 meters in length, 7.10 meters in beam, steel-and-aluminum or full-aluminum construction, and the choice of three, four, or five cabins outline a project where volume becomes a tool to build a true residential experience on the sea.

Propulsion powered by two Caterpillar C18 engines and a top speed of 14 knots confirms a philosophy oriented toward cruising and comfort rather than pure performance. However, what further distinguishes the Domus 90 above all is its potential for customization, backed by the experience gained by Custom Boat in Ancona. It is this combination of solidity, space, and design freedom that defines the character of a yacht meant to be built around its owner.
