Following the success of the Columbus Classic 80 hull, motor yacht DRAGON, Italian shipyard Columbus Yachts, part of Palumbo Superyachts, has decided to add a 120m/393.7ft mega yacht to the range. The project has been designed by Hydro Tec and fuses classic elements with modern purity to create a yacht reminiscent of the elegant 19th Century ocean liners that will appeal to all generations.
