In contrast to the composite model "Spitfire" (55.55 m), the new model is made of steel and aluminium. The angular exterior lines are the work of Italian design studio Hot Lab, with Van Oossanen providing the construction. "Atlas" is a go-anywhere superyacht with a range of almost 5,000 nautical miles and a speed of more than 16 knots. One feature of the yacht with a volume of just under 500 gross tonnes is the mezzanine bow structure.
"A resort-like atmosphere" on board "Atlas"
Instead of the conventional foredeck, there are several levels for a private outdoor retreat with spa pool, which is directly accessible from the owner's suite. The four VIP guests also have direct access to the beach club, as the engine room is located far forward. The aft area is transformed into a lounge that opens up on three sides, and the bathing platform is equipped with a cocktail bar, sunbeds and lounge. "The result is a resort-like atmosphere," explains Enrico Lumini, Head of Design and co-founder of Hot Lab. Atlas' hull is based on a Fast Displacement Hull Form (FDHF), hybrid propulsion and solar panels are optional.
