Hydro Tec by Sergio Cutolo S.r.l have achieved further shortlist success in the International Yacht & Aviation Awards 2015, with their Columbus 40 Sport Hybrid yacht, constructed by Columbus Yachts, part of Palumbo S.p.a.. Luxury motor yacht Columbus Sport Hybrid 40M will compete for the ‘Power Yacht 25-40 metres’ category.
The first Hybrid boat of her kind the all-aluminium superyacht Columbus Sport Hybrid 40M combines new lines and high technology whilst respecting the environment.
The aim of the 40m sport hybrid yacht is to provide owners with a fast and sporty yacht without renouncing the comfort, elegance and style of a mega yacht. The sleek aggressive lines are designed to merge seamlessly with the environment and work harmoniously with the interior. Sport indicates the high performance of the vessel, being equipped with two MTU engines and incredibly efficient hull lines she reaches 23 knots and easily cruises at 18-20 knots.
The revolutionary hybrid propulsion system offers a new quiet and efficient way of yachting. With this green approach the owner can cruise slowly with the main engines switched off, transforming this high performance yacht into an incredibly quiet, fuel efficient and graceful superyacht. The addition of the folding balconies and beach club offers owners direct contact with the surrounding environment.
Hydro Tec feel the design works well because she bring two different yachting approaches into one experience with a combination of high speeds and long range. The addition of aggressive styling and technological advances really makes this yacht a success in all categories.
