Columbus Yachts launches new line

Columbus Yachts, a brand of Palumbo Superyachts, has launched a new line, Atlantique, which it says is devoted to elegance and versatility.

The first of a series of three boats, the Columbus Atlantique 43m, is described as a combination of stylistic, design and functional elements dedicated to traveling by sea.

Hot Lab, responsible for both exterior and interior design, says it has pushed the interaction of spaces with the marine environment to the limit with the indoor areas of the main and upper decks allowing for total contact with the surrounding landscape.

It says the ‘sailboat-style’ stern of the Atlantique 43m is its most distinctive area as the whole area is very low on the water thanks to the choice of ‘digging’ the aft section, taking it to just 50cm from the sea, in addition to the two folding side wings, which enhance the feeling of direct contact with the natural environment.

The lower deck houses five cabins (two with bathrooms), two twin and a full beam VIP suite. The lower deck forward is dedicated to the crew, there are four double cabins, all with their own bathroom, and a dedicated staircase leading to the second crew area on the main deck.

The 5.5m tender garage is in the port side aft. The main deck forward has been arranged so as to house both the second tender (rescue boat) and two waverunners.
