Long Range, Massive Space

Thoughtful touches like the forward-facing owner’s suite and an aft deck built for social gatherings show an understanding of how people actually spend time at sea. She is built for the long haul.

Custom Line Goes Metal

A New Speed Standard

Ferretti Group-Custom-Line-50-1-19-25

DITCHING THE MOLD Custom Line is entering the alloy arena with the new 50-meter flagship. By utilizing aluminum, the yard has managed to keep her under the 500GT threshold while pushing performance boundaries. This material choice isn't just about weight; it changes how the interior volumes are managed and how she handles the sea at top speed. See why the biggest names in Italian boat building are trading resins for welding torches.

Shamrock’s Lasting Influence

shamrock classic yacht

LAST OF THE LINE Building a J-Class vessel is an exercise in scale, but Shamrock V holds a special place in the fleet. She was the first of her kind built to the Universal Rule and the only one of Lipton's challengers to survive the scrapyard. From her green hull to her towering rig, she represents the end of an era when sport and sportsmanship were one and the same. See what happened when the tea king’s dream finally hit the water.
