The yachts entering the water at the Ferretti Group Superyacht Yard in Ancona were two Custom Line superyachts in the planing line, two in the Navetta line and the new flagship in the 50-metre aluminium made-to-measure line.
Ancona, July 9, 2024 – In the space of just a month, five new Custom Line superyachts have taken to the sea at the Ferretti Group Superyacht Yard in Ancona.
They include the new Custom Line 50 flagship, M/Y ASANTE, the first all-aluminium pleasure vessel in the made-to-measure line, making her debut in the market segment for metal construction yachts under 500 GT. The launch ceremony held on Saturday June 8 was attended by the owner family and the shipyard’s top management and employees, accompanied by their families.
M/Y FELICITY, the twelfth Custom Line Navetta 42 hull launched on May 22 with the owner family in attendance, is a design project developed by the Ferretti Group Engineering Department, with the Custom Line Atelier playing a strategic role in the interior design process by interpreting the style requirements of the owner family based in the EMEA region. With a length of 41.8 m and a beam of 8.1 m, this superyacht in the brand’s displacement line features a powerful sculpted silhouette. Flowing lines, formal clarity and a functional aesthetic are the key features of a design that exploits the yacht’s generous volumes, using a functional approach to maximise the interior and exterior living areas, as well as assuring total privacy for the Owner and guests by providing passageways reserved for the crew and captain.
In the interiors, the chromatic palette juxtaposes vibrant, intense colours with contrasting shades that run from smooth nuances of beige, sand and cream to fresh tints of moss and mint green, featured in the main deck salon and several cabins, right through to elegant tones of Burgundy purple and earth in the owner areas. The interplay of colours is also a feature of the upper deck and cockpit, where blue and pink gold reign supreme, pointing up the colours and the vicinity of the sea in an area designed as a leisure space for owner and guests. Various shades of yellow pervade and illuminate the sun deck, welcoming those on board in an atmosphere of total relaxation. The furnishings feature fine materials such as Arabescato Corchia, Calacatta Viola, Breccia Capraia and Carrara marble, side-by-side with Stone Grey, creating a style characterised by a refined sense of opulence. Several of the freestanding pieces and coverings feature warm, inviting materials such as nubuck leather, velvet and American walnut.
The launch of the eleventh Custom Line 120’ hull was attended last June 12 by the owner family based in the AMAS region, who are particularly fond of the brand’s planing line. Custom Line 120’ M/Y GERRY’S FERRY, an emblem of stylistic purity and bespoke excellence, is a creation of the Ferretti Group Engineering Department, with support from the experts at Custom Line Atelier for the interiors, liaising directly with the customer to ensure that the superyacht is a true portrait of the people who live on her. With a length of 38.36 meters and a beam of 7.65 meters, she has a distinctly dynamic personality defined by sleek, powerful contours and modern styling, offering the maximum in terms of speed, performance and wellbeing on board. The design harmoniously connects the exterior and interior settings through large hull windows and floor-to-ceiling glazing on deck, allowing natural light reflected off the sea to flood in. Energy and sophistication are the main character traits of the interiors, in which the chromatic harmony of the spaces is based on the use of muted, warm colours such as hazelnut, chamois and white, accompanied by sumptuous nuances of ebony, dark brown and bronze. The colour palette is brought to life by the oriental red featured on several freestanding pieces, including the original chaise lounge in the owner’s area and other furnishings. The use of fine, exclusive materials is front and centre, with brown-tinted Patagonia Original, white travertine and bronze travertine marble, as well as nubuck leather used for various finishings, in keeping with the yacht’s distinctive modern style.
On June 19, the twenty-second hull in the Custom Line 106' planing line entered the water under the eyes of her captain, dealer and surveyor. This superyacht is the result of collaboration between the Ferretti Group Engineering Department for the exterior styling and the Custom Line Atelier, which provided strategic interior design advice working in constant, direct contact with the customer from the EMEA area. Custom Line 106’ reflects Made in Italy excellence in a combination of aesthetics and comfort where natural light pervades and expands the on-board spaces. At 32.82 m in length and 7.4 m in the beam, the yacht has generous spaces and clean, rigorous lines. The interconnection of the surfaces and the stern-to-bow fluidity of the volumes dissolve spacial confines, creating a perfect architectural equilibrium between exteriors and interiors. The chic and essential interior design is based on a juxtaposition of soft, dense colours – such as beige, also used in its Arizona beige version, clay, ivory and ice – and the darker, seductive nuances of black, bronze and brown, giving the interiors depth and character in line with the owner’s strong personality and refined tastes. The decor features high quality natural materials such as Nero Marquinia – a fine grain, white veined marble used extensively in the owner’s area – along with bronze travertine and Sahara Noir marble for certain furnishing elements, and American walnut.
A new launch for the successful Custom Line Navetta 30 line took place on June 27, with the owner family in attendance. The twentieth hull in the brand’s displacement line was a joint design effort by the Product Strategy Department, which produced the exterior design, and the Ferretti Group Engineering Department, along with ACPV ARCHITECTS Antonio Citterio Patricia Viel for the interior architecture and architect Filippo Salvetti for the exterior styling. Strategic consulting for the interior design was provided by Custom Line Atelier, which tailored the project to the owner’s stylistic preferences. With a length of 28.43 m and a beam of 7.3 m, this superyacht delivers ambitious volumes while continuing to convey a feeling of lightness and elegance. Refined avant-garde styling and timeless aesthetic taste are the other defining elements. The sleek and dynamic profile of the exteriors is pointed up by the extended sweep of horizontal lines towards the bow. In the interiors, the colour palette is a combination of pale and luminous tones that amplify the incoming light and enhance on-board liveability. The chosen colours range from snow and glacier white to the beige used for the salons, cabins and mosaic walls, or from shell pink, sand and cashmere to the darker, more embracing nuances of anthracite and cobalt blue used for some of the ornamental elements. The decor features elegant and natural materials like rope, natural teak, nubuck leather and Calacatta Oro marble in the freestanding elements.
