The Colombo 30 Bellagio marks the next step in the Italian shipyard’s design development. The style established by the Colombo 40 Bellagio is consistently carried forward in this new model. The boat was developed in collaboration with the designer Davide Cipriani of Centrostiledesign.
The focus is on the fusion of tradition and modernity. Whilst the wooden elements evoke the timeless elegance of motorboats from the 1960s, the hull and superstructure feature clean lines and contemporary shapes. With this, Colombo aims to preserve its own brand heritage whilst simultaneously charting a course for the future.
Distinctive lines and two-tone paintwork
The Colombo 30 Bellagio has a sleek, tapered bow. The lines along the sides taper towards the stern and are accentuated by a continuous chrome trim strip. The two-tone paintwork also adds to its striking appearance: the metallic grey-green hue of the hull contrasts with the cockpit, which is finished in a different colour.
The sleek silhouette is designed to give the boat a sporty yet elegant appearance. Colombo describes its handling as agile and refined.
Flexible cockpit
The layout is also designed to be versatile. The stern is traditionally designed as a sunbathing area. In the cockpit, on the other hand, a multifunctional lounge area can be created in just a few simple steps.
A retractable table can be extended when required. An electrically operated bimini top provides shade and can be integrated into the structure when not in use. This is designed to ensure that the cockpit can be used both for cruising and for breaks and socialising.
Digital screens in the armrests
Colombo has paid particular attention to the cockpit. For the first time in this segment, both the driver’s and front passenger’s seats feature a touchscreen integrated into the armrest.
The monitors can be extended when required. When retracted, they are largely out of sight and blend into the wood-effect dashboard. The aim is for the technology not to look like a display that has been added as an afterthought, but rather as an integral part of the overall design.
Wood right up to the bow
The foredeck is panelled with high-quality timber. The design echoes the look of the cockpit, creating a continuous visual line from bow to stern. The use of wood also highlights the shipyard’s commitment to craftsmanship. Below deck, there is an open-plan area comprising a lounge and a wet room.
With the Colombo 30 Bellagio, the shipyard demonstrates how modern technology and traditional boatbuilding can be combined. The result is a compact motorboat that brings together Italian design, high-quality materials and contemporary functionality in a unique concept. Information: Colombo
