More than love: Custom Line 50m Asante

Asante is the largest and most unique yacht in the history of Custom Line. Initially developed within the Navetta line due to its displacement hull, the yacht marked the shipyard's transition from fibreglass to full aluminium construction. This change in materials for the hull and superstructure allows for a fuel consumption reduction of 10-15% compared to similar 50-meter vessels.

As a result, the yacht is considered a distinct project within the Custom Line 50 series, aimed at the future. A similar example can be found in another Ferretti Group brand, Riva, which established its Superyacht Division alongside the construction of the 50-meter yacht Race. Currently, this division boasts three models, with work underway on a 70-meter megayacht. It’s clear that Custom Line could easily follow a similar path.

The yacht's elegant exterior is the work of Filippo Salvetti. Its technical excellence is the result of a collaboration between the engineering department and the product development strategy committee of the Ferretti Group, led by Piero Ferrari. Renowned designers Antonio Citterio and Patricia Viel crafted the interiors. This team first came together in 2019-2020 to work on the smaller 30-meter Navetta model. Now, they have created something even greater: a flagship. Rather than scaling up past experiences, the Custom Line 50 represents a new step in the evolution of the brand.



Asante retains distinctive features characteristic of the shipyard’s products, such as an elegant arrowhead profile, angled windows at the bow of the main deck, a spacious sun deck, and a sunbathing area.

The yacht boasts a sophisticated appearance, a multi-level superstructure, two swimming pools, a master suite with a private terrace, and extensive customisation options. With so much glass, the fully illuminated yacht at night resembles a mesmerising crystal mountain, radiating warm light.

Moreover, Salvetti's approach to reimagining the exterior is bold and decisive. He has fundamentally altered the design of the transom, moving away from the patented Dual Mode Transom, which Ferretti Group takes pride in. Now, the beach club is flanked by semicircular bulwarks with openings for fresh air, while the rear features two rectangular folding platforms separated by a gangway. When the yacht is in motion, these platforms are raised and serve as bulwarks. When docked, they lower and extend a railing, allowing access to the water via the gangway. There is ample space behind them for two, and possibly three, loungers.

Above the swim platform rises a rectangular pool with a transparent wall. On either side, two parallel staircases lead down to the cockpit. The cockpit area behind the pool on Asante is thoughtfully designed, featuring three loungers, a bar, and a relaxation zone with two sofas facing each other. By simply removing the loungers, the space transforms into a dance floor by the pool, where a DJ booth can be set up at the bar.

Guests will enjoy a vast sundeck that includes not only sun loungers but also forward and aft lounges, along with two corner bar areas. This space is perfect for hosting gatherings with friends while moored in a marina or at anchor. The view from this personal oasis is simply breathtaking. 

An optional elevator can connect all decks of the superyacht, opening below into a lobby between the cabins and bringing guests directly up to the bar, while a jacuzzi can be installed on the overhang. This is exactly the choice made by the owner of Asante.

The upper deck is entirely dedicated to the owner’s private quarters, salon, and open relaxation areas. The dimensions of this deck level are comparable to those of an average floating home. The owner of the Custom Line 50 will reside in an environment where comfort and privacy are taken to the utmost level. A dining area is situated on the protruding section of the deck.




Children can stay downstairs in the guest cabins, enjoy themselves at the beach club on the main deck, and join their parents for alfresco dining. The whole family gathers around the communal table. By simply sliding open the slightly tinted glass doors, the dining area seamlessly connects to a small salon furnished with plush sofas and a large television. This space is perfect for watching movies, playing poker or bridge, or having intimate conversations.



Often, the layout of a master cabin can feel cramped and overly designed. However, even in a spacious room with luxurious finishes, there can be a sense of it being a regulated hotel space, where every square meter is maximised for utility. There’s a bed, a mini-office by the window, and the bathroom and walk-in closet are adjacent to the bedroom... But this is your home, where you’ll be living continuously during your travels! One craves airiness, freedom, and the illusion of an urban apartment.

Salvetti understands this well. He designed the master cabin generously and expansively; one might even say lavishly. The layout resembles a "G" shape and occupies about half of the entire superstructure on the upper deck (don’t forget that the salon on this deck is also private!). A vestibule leads into the bedroom, from which one can access the bathroom and a spacious walk-in closet. This arrangement allows for windows and plenty of natural light in both spaces.

Three walls of the bedroom are entirely glazed, yet the room's orientation and the tint of the glass ensure the owner's comfort. A king-size bed with a bench is centrally positioned and aligned with the ship's direction of travel. There is ample space for passage behind the headboard, and a long wardrobe is fitted along the back wall. Flanking the side windows are a dressing table and a writing desk.

Imagine rising from your bed in the morning, sliding open the transparent doors, and stepping out onto the front terrace—what a pleasure! The terrace is equipped with high bulwarks that serve as backrests for the sofas arranged around the perimeter. It’s the ideal spot for morning stretches, enjoying a cup of coffee, or having intimate gatherings. While there is plenty of sunlight, the terrace is not typically used as a solarium. For sunbathing, one must ascend the steps to the flybridge, where two large loungers await.

The main deck features a walkaround layout, allowing passage along the sides, with only one section requiring a climb of three steps. The bow area remains open, and no lounge zone has been established there.


The bow of the main deck has been allocated for the storage of a jet ski and a small RIB (the compartments for these are situated in front of the wheelhouse), as well as a lifeboat (on the open deck). This arrangement was necessary to free up the garage in the aft section of the lower deck for a larger RIB from Williams Jet Tenders.

The wheelhouse, designed to span the full width of the superstructure, offers comfort while navigating the yacht. Inside, there is an abundance of space. The sloped windscreen widens towards the top, and its sections create minimal, barely noticeable seams.

On the starboard side, behind a wall, lies the captain's cabin, comparable in size to VIP cabins on many vessels. It is separated from the main saloon and the flybridge by the galley, technical spaces, and storage areas, ensuring that the crew and guests do not interfere with one another.

The main saloon boasts magnificent panoramic views, thanks to its floor-to-ceiling windows. The glossy ceiling, polished steel window frames, white furnishings, and carpets enhance the sense of space and height. In the dining area, the walls are clad in honey-hued teak planks, while the chairs are upholstered in soft, reddish-brown leather. Together, these elements create an atmosphere of warmth and comfort.



Privacy from prying eyes is ensured by tinted glass and electric curtains that lower at the touch of a button on a smartphone.

Four luxurious guest cabins are symmetrically arranged in the central section of the lower deck around a central lobby. In terms of layout and design, they can rightly be described as “miniature masters.” The rooms form a G-shape and include a small corridor with a built-in wardrobe. The beds are orientated towards the portholes, and bedside tables equipped with retractable television screens are positioned beneath the windows. The bathrooms are divided into three sections (toilet, washbasin, and shower) and are quite spacious, with windows in the showers. In two of the cabins, a Pullman sleeping arrangement can be optionally installed—this feature proves useful when accommodating larger groups or children. The crew of nine resides in the bow section, with all service areas and staircases located away from the guest quarters.

In creating the interiors and selecting the finishes, Antonio Citterio and Patricia Viel from the design studio ACPV Architects aimed not only to uphold the values of the Custom Line brand but also to incorporate the key trends of contemporary yacht design while, of course, fulfilling the client's wishes—all with a distinctly Italian sense of style.



The designers have selected exclusively eco-friendly materials for the interior. For instance, the Canaletto walnut veneer meets the most stringent international standards: no formaldehyde is used during its production and installation on the bulkheads.

The superyacht is equipped with two 12-cylinder CAT C32 engines, delivering a total power output of 3,244 horsepower. It can reach a maximum speed of 16 knots, with a cruising range approaching 4,000 nautical miles. The first hull in the series incorporates an SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) system, which reduces nitrogen oxide emissions to nearly zero.

All of this positions the Custom Line 50 as one of the most advanced models on the market. It represents true luxury combined with thoughtful design and modern technology—a comfortable floating mansion for a large family.
