Atlantis Motor Yacht

Seakeeper stabilisers that hold her level at anchor as well as under way are the first thing to know about Atlantis, because on a 74ft (23m) motor yacht they cut the roll whether she is lying still or running at speed. Azimut built her in 2023 with a professional captain overseeing the work, and she has come to the charter market new.

On deck

The flybridge is a broad open deck with a lounge and a dining table, a grill, a fridge and an ice maker, and sun pads that a retractable awning shades when it is drawn out, which means a meal can be cooked, cooled and eaten in the open air. On the bow a seating area has cushioned sun pads of its own, and the aft deck holds a second table for eating outside. At the stern a hydraulic bathing platform lowers to the sea for an easy way into the water, and it is from there that her tender and toys are launched.

Water toys

Her tender is a 3.9 metre Williams Jet Tender for taking guests ashore, and snorkelling gear aboard means the water beneath her can be looked into rather than only swum in.

Where she cruises

St Tropez in France is her home port, and from there Atlantis works the coast of France and Monaco, a ground of harbours and bays along a single shore.

Accommodation and crew

Two queen beds, a double and a twin sleep eight guests across four ensuite cabins – a master suite that takes the full beam of the boat, a VIP cabin, a double cabin and a twin. Three crew look after the eight, with the peak of her year falling in July and August. The saloon has panoramic windows that let the light through and a Bose sound system for music, and its open plan runs on through the dining area into a galley meant to be sociable.

Comfort under way

Two MAN engines give her a cruising speed of 26 knots and 30 knots flat out, and a carbon fibre superstructure is what lets her pair that pace with stability and room inside. Upgraded air conditioning holds the interior cool, and Starlink keeps her connected wherever she goes.

Charter notes

Atlantis suits a family or a party of friends who want a boat that moves quickly and settles quietly, taken for a full week or a three-day hire. Twelve can be aboard by day, so the eight who sleep on her can grow the party for a day on the water.
