37m Custom Line TITO EL PATRON Sold After $14.9m Asking Price

Sept. 1, 2026 Sale Custom Line

The 37m Custom Line motor yacht TITO EL PATRON has been sold, with IYC representing the seller and Worth Avenue Yachts introducing the buyer after a $14.9 million asking price.

The 37-metre Custom Line motor yacht TITO EL PATRON has been sold, closing a brokerage campaign that had most recently positioned the 2022-built Navetta 37 on the market at $14.9 million. The transaction removes a relatively young example of Custom Line's semi-displacement range from the brokerage market at the beginning of the autumn sales season.

IYC confirmed that Sales and Charter Consultant Mark Elliott represented the seller in the transaction, while Worth Avenue Yachts announced that William Blackwell represented the buyer. Neither brokerage has disclosed the final sale price or identified the yacht's new owner, so the $14.9 million figure remains the last public asking price rather than a confirmed transaction value.

TITO EL PATRON combines the established Navetta 37 platform with five guest cabins, substantial exterior areas and the relatively high internal volume associated with Custom Line's semi-displacement range. IYC had marketed the yacht as a turnkey opportunity for private or charter-oriented ownership before confirming the sale at the end of August.

IYC represented the seller and Worth Avenue introduced the buyer

The transaction brought together two established brokerage houses. IYC's official company feed identifies Mark Elliott as the representative of the seller, while Worth Avenue Yachts separately identifies William Blackwell as the broker who represented the buyer.

That dual confirmation is important because brokerage yacht pages do not always change status immediately when a transaction closes. TITO EL PATRON remained accessible through sales material around the time of the announcement, but the official statements from both sides establish that the yacht itself has been sold.

The final transaction value remains confidential. The $14.9 million figure should therefore be treated only as the yacht's last publicly advertised asking price, not as evidence that the buyer paid that amount.

TITO EL PATRON had joined IYC's global sales fleet in February 2026. The brokerage described the yacht as a Custom Line Navetta 37 combining Italian design, substantial volume and long-range cruising capability within a semi-displacement platform.

A 2022 Navetta 37 with substantial volume

IYC lists TITO EL PATRON at 37 metres overall with an 8-metre beam and a gross tonnage of 289GT. The yacht was built in 2022 and accommodates 11 guests in five cabins, supported by accommodation for seven crew.

The guest arrangement includes a full-beam owner's suite on the main deck together with four additional guest cabins. That layout reflects one of the defining characteristics of the Navetta concept, using beam and interior volume to create residential accommodation rather than concentrating primarily on outright speed.

Custom Line's own technical material for the Navetta 37 gives the underlying model an overall length of 37.04 metres. The builder introduced the series as a semi-displacement flagship designed around comfort, efficiency and the ability to customise a proven platform around an individual owner's requirements.

Those dimensions place TITO EL PATRON well inside the conventional superyacht market while avoiding the operational scale associated with substantially larger custom yachts. For buyers, that can provide significant living volume without moving into the berth, crew and general operating requirements of a 50- or 60-metre vessel.

Outdoor living is central to the yacht

IYC's sales presentation placed considerable emphasis on TITO EL PATRON's exterior areas. The yacht incorporates an aft beach club, a sundeck with Jacuzzi, forward seating and sunbathing areas, creating several distinct outdoor zones across the vessel.

That distribution allows different groups of guests to use separate areas at the same time and reflects the wider move towards making exterior space central to a yacht's design proposition. Stern areas in particular have evolved from predominantly functional tender and swimming platforms into important guest spaces at water level.

The interior follows a similarly residential approach. IYC highlights the full-beam main-deck master suite, panoramic views and high-end Italian finishes, while the combination of indoor and outdoor spaces is intended to support both private use and the type of entertaining expected aboard a yacht of this size.

For the new owner, those spaces are available immediately rather than after a multi-year construction programme. That distinction is one of the strongest commercial arguments for a relatively young brokerage yacht when compared with ordering a new semi-custom vessel.

The Navetta 37 was designed around long-range comfort

Custom Line introduced the Navetta 37 as an important development of its semi-displacement range. The builder's original material emphasised an efficient hull form, substantial internal volume and a design intended to balance seaworthiness with the comfort expected from a large cruising yacht.

The model's 8-metre beam is an important part of that equation because beam contributes directly to interior width and deck area. It allows generous salons, cabins and circulation spaces without requiring the yacht to extend into a much larger overall-length category.

IYC lists TITO EL PATRON with a cruising speed of 12.5 knots and a maximum speed of 15.5 knots. Those figures underline an emphasis on comfortable passage-making and onboard living rather than the high-speed performance associated with sportier yacht categories.

That positioning has made semi-displacement yachts increasingly relevant in the brokerage market. Owners who prioritise volume, cruising comfort and usable deck space can obtain a different balance of capabilities than they would from a narrower performance yacht of similar length.

A late-model yacht offers an alternative to a new build

One of TITO EL PATRON's principal brokerage advantages was its age. Built in 2022, it offers a relatively modern technical and interior package while allowing a purchaser to take ownership without waiting through the design, engineering, construction, outfitting and sea-trial cycle of a new yacht.

The compromise is that the buyer inherits an existing layout and specification rather than designing every element from the beginning. On a semi-custom platform such as the Navetta 37, however, individual owner choices can still make one yacht materially different from another within the same series.

TITO EL PATRON had been marketed on that basis, combining the established engineering of the Navetta platform with the particular finishes, equipment and arrangements selected for this yacht. IYC also highlighted features including stabilisation, extensive communications equipment and a configuration suitable for international cruising.

The sale demonstrates why relatively young production and semi-custom superyachts occupy an important part of the brokerage market. They sit between completely bespoke new construction and older second-hand yachts that may require more extensive refit or modernisation before a new owner begins cruising.

The $14.9 million figure was an asking price, not the sale price

The yacht's final advertised asking price was $14.9 million, but neither IYC nor Worth Avenue Yachts has disclosed the amount paid by the buyer. Asking prices provide useful market context, yet negotiated transaction values can differ because of survey results, timing, equipment, tax status, location and the motivations of both parties.

For that reason, the transaction should not be treated as a confirmed $14.9 million comparable without evidence of the closing figure. What can be established is that a 2022 Custom Line Navetta 37 was marketed at that level and subsequently found a buyer.

The distinction matters when individual yacht sales are used to assess broader market values. Two apparently similar vessels may have different maintenance histories, specifications, VAT positions, refit requirements and seller circumstances, all of which can influence the eventual negotiated price.

Nevertheless, the public asking figure provides a useful reference point for buyers comparing the immediate availability of a late-model brokerage yacht with the cost, specification freedom and delivery timetable of new construction. It is useful context without being evidence of the confidential closing price.

The sale adds to an active late-summer brokerage market

The transaction follows other brokerage activity ahead of the principal autumn yacht shows. Superyacht Guide recently reported the sale of 33m Custom Line 4LEON, another Navetta-series yacht whose transaction added a recent data point for the builder's secondary market.

TITO EL PATRON sits in a particularly active size range because the 37-metre category can provide full superyacht accommodation and professional crew while remaining accessible to a broader buyer pool than very large custom yachts. That can improve liquidity relative to vessels whose operating and berthing requirements sharply narrow the number of potential purchasers.

For Custom Line, secondary-market transactions also matter beyond the individual sale. Buyers considering a new yacht often pay attention to the resale history and market depth of a builder's existing fleet, making completed brokerage deals part of the wider ownership proposition.

IYC and Worth Avenue Yachts have not disclosed the length of negotiations or whether competing offers were involved, so conclusions about demand should remain measured. The confirmed development is that the yacht has moved from an active brokerage campaign to a completed transaction during the 2026 summer market.

TITO EL PATRON begins a new ownership chapter

The new owner takes over a relatively young 37-metre yacht based on an established Italian semi-displacement platform, with five guest cabins and an arrangement structured around extended onboard living rather than short-distance performance. The identities of both buyer and seller remain private, which is common in superyacht brokerage transactions.

The brokerages have also kept the financial terms confidential beyond the yacht's previously public asking price. For market analysis, the important point is therefore the completion of the transaction rather than an assumed sale value.

The deal gives IYC a completed sale on behalf of its seller and Worth Avenue Yachts a successful buyer-side transaction. For the yacht herself, it marks the transition from a brokerage asset to the beginning of a new ownership programme.

TITO EL PATRON had been publicly offered through IYC since February and now leaves the available pool of late-model Navetta 37 yachts. With the sale independently announced by both sides of the transaction, the yacht's brokerage status is no longer ambiguous even though some sales material may remain accessible online.
