Columbus Atlantique 55

A gross tonnage of 900 on a 55-metre hull is a volume figure that points toward a design brief built around space rather than speed. Columbus is building the Columbus Atlantique 55 now, for delivery in 2029, a full-displacement motor yacht designed to give her owner room rather than knots. Buying her at this stage means buying into her construction, not stepping aboard a finished boat.

Build and provenance

Columbus classes her as still in build, a full-displacement motor yacht with a hull designed for seagoing comfort rather than speed, with delivery due in 2029. At this stage a buyer commissions alongside the yard rather than inspecting a completed vessel; the build contract stands in for the survey a finished yacht would need.

Layout and accommodation

The accommodation is set for twelve guests in six cabins, with thirteen crew aboard to run her - a service ratio on a 55-metre hull that speaks to a full owner's programme rather than a light delivery crew.

Performance and engineering

Two CAT C32 ACERT engines, each rated at 1,350 hp, give her a 14-knot cruise and 16 knots flat out, figures that suit a displacement hull built to cover distance steadily rather than to plane. A beam of 10.2 metres and a draught of 3.3 metres are proportions for a yacht that spends her time in open water rather than close to shore.

On deck and at anchor

A swimming pool and a dedicated sun deck sit alongside the beach club, giving the Columbus Atlantique 55 three distinct zones on deck rather than one open area.

Where she lies and how to see her

Delivery is still three years away, and for now she exists as a build slot in Italy rather than a berth to visit. Boatcrowd puts a buyer in front of the yard directly, walking the build with them and standing alongside them at any inspection. An accepted offer starts the formal process: survey, sea trial and the paperwork that follow a completed yacht, timed to her 2029 handover.
