Columbus Atlantique 37

Buying into a yacht still on the slipway means choosing a build slot rather than a finished boat, and Columbus Atlantique 37 is one the yard is completing for delivery in 2028. At 37 metres and 299 gross tons, she sits at a size where an owner still knows every cabin by name, not just by deck plan. She is a flybridge motor yacht, built for an owner who wants a private deck and open water within reach, both at once.

Build and provenance

She is a monohull flybridge yacht from Columbus, 37 metres long with an 8-metre beam and a 2.3-metre draught, at 299 gross tons. Her 121-foot length keeps her inside most marina berths that a longer yacht would outgrow, a practical trade an owner feels every time she comes alongside.

Layout and accommodation

The owner's suite sits on the main deck with its own panoramic windows, so the owner does not give up the best view for private space. Below, four further cabins bring the total to five, sleeping the rest of the ten guests, and two separate dining areas mean formal and casual meals do not have to share a table. A crew of seven live and work in their own quarters, enough hands to run a boat this size without an owner asking twice.

Performance and engineering

Twin MAN V12-2000 engines, rated at 1471 kilowatts apiece, drive Columbus Atlantique 37 to a 19-knot cruise and a 22-knot top speed, brisk enough that a day trip does not eat the whole afternoon. A forward garage takes a tender and jet skis, so the toys that make a day at anchor worth staying for are always to hand. For an owner who splits time between a home port and a favourite coastline, that combination turns a distant anchorage into an easy outing rather than a full day's passage.

Where she lies and how to see her

Columbus builds her in Italy, and Boatcrowd sets up a yard visit there, walking the build stages with anyone who wants to see Columbus Atlantique 37 before she is finished. Once an offer is accepted, survey and sea trial follow in the normal order, timed to her delivery.
