COLUMBUS ATLANTIQUE 47M – LAUNCHING CEREMONY

Columbus Yachts announces the launch of the first unit of the Atlantique 47 metres. The vessel has been named M/Y Acqua Chiara. 

Unmistakable exteriors with taut yet fluid lines, which widen at the centre of the boat and then taper at the stern and bow. Unquestionably an innovative design that focuses on liveability on board and unobstructed contact with the sea. 

With a steel hull and aluminium superstructure, a width of 9.10m and a draft of 2.4m, M/Y Acqua Chiara was specifically designed to reach a volume of 499GT. 

Boasting an exterior and interior design by Hot Lab studio, Columbus Atlantique 47 represents a significant new stage in the development of the Shipyard’s design. Her naval architecture was developed by Columbus Yachts. 

The stern lines, as with the entire Atlantique range, are certainly the focal element of this superyacht, which makes sailing inspiration its real identity. At the stern, the outdoor spaces spread over three close levels: from bow to stern we find a first covered dining area, a living area with a scenic pool and opening balconies, and finally a platform with transformer, just 50 cm above water. A second large pool is located at the bow of the main deck and is served by a sunbathing area, a circular sofa and side tables. 

The interiors are modern, at times almost urban with combinations of materials in visual and sensorial contrast: leather and white and dark marble, glass and mosaic, all by Sicis, in different shades and patterns. 

The Master cabin is located forward on the main deck while, below deck, there are two king-size bed cabins and two cabins with twin beds, all with private bathrooms in marble and mosaic. 

The crew is made up of 8 people accommodated in 4 comfortable cabins forward on the lower deck, whereas the Captain cabin is adjacent to the wheelhouse. 

The garage on the starboard side houses the 5-metre tender, while at the bow on the port side we find the second garage for the rescue tender and two jet skis. 

Two engines of 1350 horsepower each guarantee a maximum speed of 15.5 knots, cruising at 14.5 knots and 3400 nautical miles at 12 knots.
