Ancona, June 11, 2024 – Custom Line's First All-Aluminium Yacht Makes a Splash

The first all-aluminium pleasure vessel by Custom Line has been launched at the Ferretti Group Superyacht Yard in Ancona. The new 50-meter flagship, Custom Line 50 M/Y ASANTE, marks the brand's debut in the metal yacht segment under 500 GT. The launch, held on Saturday, June 8, was celebrated with a private ceremony attended by the owner’s family and the shipyard’s top management and employees, along with their families.

“A 50-meter dream. This is the new Custom Line 50, confirming the brand’s state of grace at both design and production levels. Cutting-edge research and innovation, in terms of both style and materials, come together in the use of aluminium, which also offers significant performance and fuel consumption benefits,” said Ferretti Group CEO Alberto Galassi. “The new flagship, which opens up a new market segment for Custom Line, is a vessel bathed in light and water, born out of extraordinarily in-depth and effective studies into the yacht’s volumes and spaces.”

The Custom Line 50, designed and built entirely from aluminium with a displacement hull under 499 GT, measures 49.94 meters in length and 9.60 meters in beam. The yacht is the result of a collaboration between the Product Strategy Department, led by Piero Ferrari, and the Ferretti Group Superyachts Division Engineering team.

Exterior styling was crafted by Filippo Salvetti, while ACPV ARCHITECTS Antonio Citterio Patricia Viel designed the bespoke interiors, embodying the brand’s values and reinterpreting marine tradition through a contemporary lens. Performance Boats USA, LLC served as the owner’s representative, playing a key role in the project.

The yacht spans four decks, with a layout centered around the master suite forward on the upper deck. The owner's stateroom, surrounded by windows offering a 180-degree view, provides direct access to a large private terrace in the bow, featuring a spacious and completely private lounge area with a sunpad. The superyacht includes four additional VIP cabins on the lower deck, accommodating a total of 12 guests, and 9 crew members, including the captain, whose cabin is located next to the wheelhouse.

Multiple features ensure that the owner and his family will have a unique cruising experience. An in-depth study of the yacht’s volumes and the subdivision of the interiors have fine-tuned onboard livability and comfort, offering guests generous convivial spaces along with wellbeing in close contact with the water and a special focus on the owner’s privacy. The interconnection between interiors and exteriors, replicated in all the guest areas and particularly in the lounges on the main and upper decks, features large floor-to-ceiling windows and reflective surfaces that enhance the sense of direct contact with the water, creating seamless spatial and visual continuity. The feeling of total immersion in the surrounding marine environment is also amplified by the generous water’s edge beach club, which has direct access to the aft outdoor area on the main deck, fitted out as a private lounge. These two exterior spaces are integrated perfectly by the rectangular pool in the stern.

Custom Line 50 M/Y ASANTE will make her world debut at the Monaco Yacht Show 2024.
