The Columbus Yachts shipyard, part of Italy’s Palumbo Group, has launched the first yacht in the Columbus Atlantique 43 series. Two further units will be delivered to their respective owners by the middle of the year.

The launching ceremony of the Atlantique 43-metre Night Fury II took place in the presence of the owner and his family at the Palumbo shipyard in Italy.

The Columbus Atlantique 43m, built with a steel hull and aluminium superstructure, has exteriors and interiors designed by Hot Lab. Palumbo Superyachts, in collaboration with the Hydro Tec studio, is responsible for naval engineering.

The external lines are said to be reminiscent of a shell, with no sharp edges, maintaining soft and aggressive lines that lend this motor yacht a natural elegance.
