CUSTOM LINE NAVETTA 50: A 50-METRE-LONG ALUMINIUM MASTERPIECE

Introducing the new flagship that redefines luxury in the sub-500 GT aluminium yacht category, boasting captivating features in Pantone 289. The Custom Line Navetta 50 makes its grand debut with a host of innovative elements, including an upper deck master suite, seamless integration of interiors and exteriors, expansive glazed surfaces, and an exquisite architectural interior design by ACPV ARCHITECTS Antonio Citterio Patricia Viel.

For many yacht owners, a Navetta represents the epitome of cruising luxury, blending unparalleled style, comfort, and onboard well-being. As the newest addition to the brand's displacement line, the Navetta 50 now stands as the stunning flagship of Custom Line. 

Crafted entirely in aluminium with a displacement hull under 500 GT, this vessel spans 49.90 meters in length and 9.60 meters in beam across four remarkable decks. The focal point of the design is the master suite positioned at the bow on the upper deck, serving as the nucleus from which all onboard spaces radiate. Enclosed by floor-to-ceiling windows offering a sweeping 180-degree view, the master suite also features direct access to a sprawling private terrace at the bow, complete with a sunset solarium. 

A hallmark of the Custom Line Navetta 50 is its seamless integration of interiors and exteriors. This distinctive trait is evident throughout all guest areas, particularly the lounges on the main and upper decks, achieved through expansive floor-to-ceiling windows and reflective surfaces that create an immersive experience akin to being on a serene island surrounded by boundless waters. 

The development of the Custom Line Navetta 50 project was a collaboration between the Strategic Product Department led by Mr. Piero Ferrari and the esteemed Ferretti Group Superyacht Yard Engineering Unit. While the exterior styling once again bears the signature of Filippo Salvetti, the interior architecture and décor by ACPV ARCHITECTS Antonio Citterio Patricia Viel exudes refinement and sophistication, reflecting the brand's personality, values, and heritage from a contemporary standpoint. 

The interior design concept focuses on intricate detailing and the use of premium, sustainable materials, including natural leathers featured in both finishes and the bespoke furnishings meticulously crafted by the yard’s skilled artisans. 

The exterior design highlights unique outdoor spaces on each deck, creating individual terraces that offer panoramic views of the surrounding waters, perfect for any time of day. The expansive beach club, nestled at the water's edge, seamlessly connects to the private lounge on the main deck's aft outdoor area. These two spaces merge effortlessly with the rectangular pool at the stern, creating an enchanting atmosphere. 

Continuing with the open-air experience, the expansive bow area can be tailored to the owner's preferences, while the spectacular sun deck offers over 70 square meters of interior space dedicated to a dining area and American bar. The bow area on the sun deck can also be customized with a Jacuzzi and solarium, providing an unparalleled vantage point to enjoy breathtaking views. 

Accommodating a total of 10 guests across five lavish cabins, in addition to a crew of nine including the captain, the Navetta 50 ensures a luxurious and comfortable stay for all onboard. 

In terms of sustainability, the Navetta 50's aluminium construction offers significant advantages, including reduced consumption by approximately 10-15% compared to a steel vessel of similar size. This superior efficiency is optimized at low RPM, enhancing the cruising range by an estimated 10-15%. Moreover, the Navetta 50 is SCR ready (Selective Catalytic Reduction), showcasing the brand's commitment to eco-conscious practices. 

The yacht offers a range of exquisite finishes, including Alpi Lignum walnut paneling, a certified and eco-sustainable material produced with zero added formaldehyde. Mixers from the Hansgrohe Axor Citterio line, designed by Antonio Citterio, feature Airpower Technology for optimal comfort with reduced water consumption. The interior also boasts Foglizzo natural hides and leathers, made from 100% recycled materials, demonstrating the brand's dedication to sustainability. 

Construction of the Custom Line Navetta 50 is set to commence at the end of the year, with the yacht ready for its grand unveiling in 2024. This masterpiece promises to redefine luxury cruising with its unparalleled design, comfort, and eco-conscious features.
