Italian shipyard VSY has announced the launch at Livorno of new 64m/209ft superyacht ATOMIC, the third hull in a series designed for the shipyard by naval architect Espen Oeino.
The first hull in the series was luxury yacht SEALYON (ex.CANDYSCAPE II) followed on by motor yacht RoMa, with design improvements evolving with each successive hull. M/Y ATOMIC, in particular, has a dynamic positioning system to remain in the same place without dropping anchor in environmentally sensitive regions, diesel-electric thrusters and higher-powered generators encased in sound-insulated cabins. The 4 X 200 kW generators power the thrusters for navigation using electric propulsion without starting the main engine.
Her environmental systems are also cutting edge, designed to reduce environmental impact and allow navigation through protected marine sanctuaries.
French designer Darnet Design produced the interiors, which include six en-suite cabins to sleep up to 12 guests. The Master suite enjoys panoramic views as well as connecting terraces for indoor/outdoor flow. The dive centre has equipment for all 12 guests, who after a dive can warm up beside the fire pit on the sundeck or take a dip in the infinity pool.
Superyacht ATOMIC will now cruise back to the Viareggio facilities for final outfitting before delivery.
