Columbus yachts have unveiled the design for their new superyacht ATLANTIQUE 65, the latest and largest in the Atlantique range which includes four other versions ranging from 37-55 meters. She presents with harmonious lines and is full of innovative features.
“This new 65m (213’3”) is the natural evolution of a range that is giving us so much satisfaction.” comments Giuseppe Palumbo, founder and CEO of Palumbo Superyachts. “An even more detailed and sinuous exterior design, where the bridges have such a masterfully balanced and light structure to give the impression that they are suspended. Enrico Lumini and the entire Hot Lab team have marked another incredible milestone in the history of the Columbus shipyard.”
The evolution of the Atlantique range has been incremental and with the 65 version the innovative design focusses on the overall three-dimensional composition to achieve a naturally fluid and coherent shape. The innovation continues with features including an infinity pool that is neither on the main deck nor the aft swim platform. The raised terrace includes a full-height entrance to the aft beach club which allows guests to enjoy the best possible view of the surrounding environment.
“The fundamental idea was to create a volume characterised by great linearity and stylistic coherence, without redundancies, without excesses: an elegant and clean look as if stemmed from a sailboat or a 50s sports car,” explained Enrico Lumini of Hot Lab.
Her helm station has been positioned on the upper deck, allowing for a duplex owner’s suite with three-metre-high ceilings at the bow. The upper level includes an office, walk-in closet and stateroom, while the second is home to a bathroom and elevated sitting room. The suite also benefits from infinite skylights and private access to the bow Jacuzzi.
The main deck owner’s suite is accompanied by four VIP staterooms below deck and a fifth VIP suite on the upper deck giving accommodation for a total of 12 guests. Additionally, there are 10 cabins assigned to the 16 crew members.
Power comes from twin MTU 12v 4,000 M63 engines which deliver a top speed of 17.5 knots, a cruising speed of 14 knots and a range of 5,500 nautical miles at 11 knots.
