Custom Line 50: A Revolution in Aluminum Superyacht Design
The Custom Line 50 is creating excitement as the first 50-meter superyacht made entirely from aluminum. This groundbreaking vessel, with a length of 49.9 meters (164 feet) and a width of 9.6 meters (31.5 feet), is an extraordinary addition to the under-500-gross-ton displacement yacht category. Developed by the Ferretti Group’s Superyacht Yard in Ancona, this project was directed by the Strategic Product Committee headed by Piero Ferrari, in conjunction with the yard’s engineering team.
Exterior and Interior Design
The sleek exterior of the yacht was conceived by architect Filippo Salvetti, while Studio ACPV ARCHITECTS Antonio Citterio Patricia Viel took care of the completely customizable interiors and overall project architecture. The design team collaborated closely with the owner throughout the entire process, ensuring the final product captured their aspirations. The outcome is a yacht that harmonizes maritime tradition with modern sophistication.
With over 800 square meters (8,611 square feet) of livable area, including 324 square meters (3,487 square feet) of outdoor space, the Custom Line 50 offers spacious volumes that are usually associated with larger yachts, providing unmatched privacy and comfort for owners and guests. Its shallow draft of 2.2 meters (7.2 feet) makes it ideal for cruising in locations like the Caribbean.
Innovative Layout and Features
A notable aspect of the Custom Line 50 is the deck that is exclusively for the owner, a concept usually found on yachts exceeding 60 meters (197 feet). The master suite spans 75 square meters (807.2 square feet) and is situated on the upper deck, featuring encompassing floor-to-ceiling windows that provide stunning views and access to a private terrace. The suite is equipped with an outdoor lounge and solarium for the ultimate in relaxation.
The yacht can accommodate up to 12 guests in a master suite, along with four lower-deck cabins, while nine crew members are accommodated in five additional cabins. This layout ensures a strict division between guest and crew areas, maximizing privacy.
The outdoor areas are striking as well, with each deck showcasing unique sea-view terraces. The two-level beach club, featuring an infinity pool, covers 120 square meters (1,291.6 square feet) and offers a seamless transition to the water.
Interior Elegance
The Custom Line 50’s interiors highlight exquisite craftsmanship. Canaletto walnut wood, textured ivory wallpaper, and Crema d’Orcia marble create a cohesive aesthetic. The design accentuates three-dimensional characteristics, with mirrored surfaces and curved windows enhancing the feeling of space and luminosity.
Warm walnut tones and natural leather complement neutral shades like ivory and beige, resulting in a hospitable yet luxurious environment. Custom-designed furnishings and premium materials further enhance the yacht’s interior ambiance.
Advanced Technology and Performance
Equipped with two Caterpillar C32 ACERT engines that produce 1,450 hp each, the Custom Line 50 reaches a maximum speed of 16 knots and a range of 4,500 nautical miles at an efficient cruising speed of 10 knots. The yacht utilizes an SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) system, which cuts NOx emissions by 70%, allowing it to achieve IMO Tier III certification.
With cutting-edge features, including AMS stern mechanical movement systems and CMC Marine stabilization fins, the yacht guarantees smooth sailing and comfort while at anchor. The hull, constructed from lightweight aluminum alloy and optimized through Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), improves hydrodynamic performance while reducing environmental impact.
