The all-aluminium, sub-500GT Custom Line 50 is the brand’s new flagship and its first metal yacht. Custom Line builds all its fibreglass planing and Navetta displacement models on the west side of the Ferretti Group Superyacht Yard in Ancona, on Italy’s east coast.
However, the Custom Line 50 was built in the east side of the yard, where larger halls produce megayachts by CRN and more recently metal yachts by Riva and Pershing, such as Riva’s 50Metri and 54Metri, and the Pershing 140’.
The Custom Line 50 is the result of collaboration between Ferretti Group’s Strategic Product Committee led by Piero Ferrari and its Superyacht Yard Engineering Department, also based in Ancona. Architect Filippo Salvetti handled the exteriors, while ACPV Architects, founded by Antonio Citterio and Patricia Viel, was responsible for the project architecture and made-to-measure interiors.
Offering 324sqm of outdoor space among a total of over 800sqm of liveable spaces, the Custom Line 50 has an overall length of 49.9m, a beam of 9.6m and a draught of 2.2m, making the yacht suitable for cruising and mooring in shallow waters such as those in the Caribbean and Southeast Asia.
Highlights include a beach club with an infinity pool integrated into the main deck, a bar, sunpad area, central ‘drawer’ transformer platform and two transom sections that fold down. Outdoor areas include a 106sqm sundeck with a hydromassage pool aft, sunbed, sofas, a retractable TV, American Bar and a barbecue area with tables that can be joined to offer dining for 12.
The yacht’s interior includes accommodation for up to 12 guests in the upper-deck master suite and four lower-deck cabins, plus nine crew in five cabins. A lift connects the three interior decks and optionally the sundeck.
On the main deck, the saloon has two large sofas flanked by leather armchairs and pouffes, side tables, a 55-inch TV that drops down from the ceiling, and a dining area with a white Calacatta marble oval table seating up to 12 guests.
Forward is the galley and pantry, plus the captain’s cabin and helm station on a raised mezzanine level. The bow area includes open-air stowage space for a rescue tender and two jetskis, plus a davit.
Custom Line describes the owner-focused upper deck as “an unprecedented feature for the segment … something usually found only on ships over 60m”.
The deck includes a full-beam 75sqm master suite with full-height windows, walk-in wardrobe, en-suite bathroom, custom desk to starboard side and white daybed to port, plus a private forward terrace with sofas and sunpads. The aft end of the deck includes a 60sqm outdoor deck with sofas and a custom table seating 12, plus an indoor skylounge with a 77-inch Bang & Olufsen TV.
Interior materials include Canaletto walnut in the living areas and cabins, Crema d’Orcia marble cladding all bathroom walls, and natural leather for the finishings and detailing of the custom-designed furnishings.
The Custom Line 50 is fitted with two Cat C32 Acert engines providing 1,081kW, which produce a top speed of 16 knots and a range of about 4,500 nautical miles at 10 knots. The yacht has been designed with the SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) system and is IMO Tier III-certified.
