The top secret Columbus Classic 57m superyacht has never been revealed before. This beautiful custom, full displacement steel and aluminium vessel belongs to the Classic line, represented for the first time by motor yacht Prima, the first winner of the prestigious World Superyacht Award branded Columbus Yachts. The interiors of a Classic 57m are eclectic, including a variety of particular woods, mirrors and marbles.
The second Sport Hybrid 40m yacht is built on the proven platform of the first 40S Hybrid superyacht, launched in 2013. She also boasts an aerodynamic light-weight aluminum hull, soft and innovative exterior lines and a modern interior lay-out, plus an amazing “eco-friendly” optional advanced electric propulsion.
Hybrid Sport 40m super yacht Hull no. 2 features spacious and stylish interiors with large windows and eco-friendly materials, as well as large balconies with huge deck space and various sunning as well as dining arrangements. In addition, there are generous and comfortable external areas and the relaxation areas, such as the rear beach club.
At the end of the launch ceremony, Columbus Yachts will unveil three new project lines, destined for Asian and USA market and representing a new perfect balance between sportsmanship and comfort. The range includes all-aluminium, semi-displacement open yachts, which also feature a more classic tri-deck layout.
Three new Columbus Yachts project lines are:
– Columbus Liberty Range from 33m to 38m, developed in partnership with Marco Casali – Too Design Studio. The main idea behind the Liberty range is freedom of living and organizing wide flat spaces, freedom of getting close to the sea, thanks to huge glass surfaces, an open and transparent beach area, as well as a huge swimming platform, as well as freedom of being unique – each Liberty is customizable in layout, exterior and interior design.
– Columbus Sport Oceanic Range from 50m to 80m. This is a forward oriented line with a fresh and dynamic cutting-edge stylistic approach, mixing up generous outdoor areas and deluxe interiors. The vessels boast innovative, pleasant and timeless design, thanks to a great amount of light from the vast glazing.
– Columbus Oceanic Coupé Range of which the first two models are a 45m and a 50m.
The new Oceanic Coupé range as well as the Sport Oceanic range were both designed in a close cooperation with Studio Vafiadis and Associates.
