The Maiora Supernova 50 is a 49.80-metre superyacht and the debut model of the yard’s new Atelier Collection, co-authored by naval architect and designer Tommaso Spadolini and the fashion house ELIE SAAB. Revealed at the 2026 Cannes Yachting Festival and currently under construction in Pisa for delivery in the second half of 2028, the Supernova 50 pairs a steel hull and light-alloy superstructure with a styling collaboration unusual in the sector, bringing ELIE SAAB’s couture sensibility to both the yacht’s lines and its interior. At 499 gross tonnes she offers full superyacht volume across accommodation for up to 12 guests in six cabins, with a crew of nine in five cabins. Spadolini’s naval architecture gives the Supernova 50 a displacement hull built for comfort and range: twin MAN D2862-LE489 engines of 1,066 kW each drive the yacht to a top speed of 16 knots, while an 11-knot cruise returns a range of around 4,150 nautical miles from 56,000 litres of fuel. A 13,400-litre fresh-water capacity supports extended cruising. The Atelier Collection positions the Supernova 50 as a design-led alternative to Maiora’s M Collection, trading the latter’s warm modernism for a more sculptural, fashion-informed aesthetic while sharing the same engineering philosophy of steel-hulled, long-range cruising. Built and classed by RINA for unrestricted navigation, she is conceived for owners who want a genuinely bespoke, design-forward superyacht at the 50-metre mark. As a new build under construction, the Supernova 50 is offered through Maiora and Next Yacht Group with pricing confirmed on application.

The Supernova 50 is driven by twin MAN D2862-LE489 diesels of 1,066 kW each, turning at a maximum 2,100 rpm for a top speed of 16 knots. As a steel-hulled displacement superyacht her strength is range rather than pace: at an 11-knot cruise she covers around 4,150 nautical miles, drawing on 56,000 litres of fuel, enough for extended passage-making and ocean crossings. A 13,400-litre fresh-water capacity supports long periods aboard between ports. The 2.40-metre draft and displacement hull are engineered by Tommaso Spadolini for sea-keeping and comfort on long trips, and the yacht is built and classed by RINA for unrestricted navigation. The Supernova 50 is conceived as a yacht to be cruised widely and lived aboard, with the tankage, volume and classification to match serious owners’ itineraries.
The Supernova 50’s exterior is where the ELIE SAAB collaboration is most visible. Working with Tommaso Spadolini, the fashion house has shaped a profile that is more sculptural and couture-influenced than the yard’s M Collection, with flowing lines, carefully composed glazing and a strong sense of proportion across the 49.80-metre hull. The 9.05-metre beam and 499 gross tonnes give the designers the volume to work with generous open decks, while the steel hull and light-alloy superstructure allow the sweeping forms the collaboration calls for. Rather than relying on mechanical deck features, the Supernova 50 makes its statement through styling and surface, treating the yacht as an object of design in its own right. It is a deliberately distinctive superyacht, intended to stand apart on the water.
Inside, ELIE SAAB’s influence continues, bringing a couture sensibility to materials, texture and detail across accommodation for up to twelve guests in six cabins. The 9.05-metre beam and 499 gross tonnes of volume allow a generous owner’s suite alongside guest cabins arranged for comfort and privacy, all finished to the standard the fashion collaboration implies. Large glazed openings keep the main living spaces connected to the sea, and the social areas are composed to flow between interior and exterior with the same attention to line evident outside. A crew of nine in five cabins allows the Supernova 50 to be operated to full charter standard, with service areas kept separate from the guest spaces. The result is an interior that treats a superyacht as a piece of design rather than simply a set of rooms.
As a 499 gross-tonne displacement yacht, the Supernova 50 has the volume to offer expansive, uncluttered deck spaces. A main-deck aft cockpit opens toward the water, with a beach club bringing guests to sea level, while the sun deck above provides the yacht’s largest open area for lounging, dining and sunbathing. A sheltered upper deck offers a quieter space with long views, and the foredeck gives over to private seating. In keeping with the Atelier Collection’s design-led brief, the deck areas are treated as composed outdoor rooms rather than feature-driven spaces, with the styling carried consistently from interior to exterior. The emphasis throughout is on generous, flexible areas that suit both relaxed family cruising and entertaining at anchor.
The Supernova 50 is built in steel with a light-alloy superstructure and classed by RINA for unrestricted navigation, engineered as a genuine long-range cruiser. Her 56,000-litre fuel capacity supports a range of around 4,150 nautical miles, and the 499 gross-tonne volume places her firmly among 50-metre superyachts. Currently under construction in Pisa for delivery in the second half of 2028, she is the debut of Maiora’s Atelier Collection and is offered as a semi-custom build through Maiora and Next Yacht Group. As a new model without an established brokerage record, pricing is best confirmed directly with the yard; our estimate places a new build in the region of 32 million euros, consistent with her size and specification and with comparable new 50-metre Italian displacement superyachts. The ELIE SAAB design collaboration makes the Supernova 50 one of the more distinctive offerings in the sector at this length.
