Columbus Atlantique 65

Two MTU 12V4000M63 engines set the pace for the Columbus Atlantique 65: a 17.5-knot top speed with a 14-knot cruise. Columbus is building her in Italy, for delivery in 2030.

Build and provenance

She measures 66 metres, 215 feet, with a beam of 12 metres and a draught of 3.3 metres, and a gross tonnage of 1,300. Columbus lists her as in build, for delivery in 2030, from Italy.

Layout and accommodation

Twelve guests are accommodated in six cabins, with a crew of seventeen looking after them: more crew than guests, which on a yacht this size points to comprehensive, not stretched, service.

Performance and engineering

She runs on diesel through her two MTU 12V4000M63 engines, cruising at 14 knots and reaching 17.5 knots at full throttle: enough to shorten a passage without the fuel burn of a hull built purely to plane.

On deck and at anchor

On deck she carries a swimming pool, a beach club and a sun deck, the three spaces where a day on board actually happens once the anchor is down.

Where she lies and how to see her

Italy is where she is taking shape, with a 2030 handover on the yard's schedule. Interested buyers see her through Boatcrowd, who stay for the visit; from an accepted offer, survey and sea trial run before delivery.
