With curved lines, the Columbus Atlantique 43m achieves a modern elegant profile
On August 7, the Camper & Nicholsons New Build Division took delivery of M/Y Frette, the second 43m unit from the new Atlantique line from Columbus Yachts. The vessel’s project management has been directed by Daniela Duck and Raffaello Putti of Camper & Nicholsons New Build Division, in conjunction with Carmen Lau, who is a senior advisor at Camper & Nicholsons Hong Kong.
Frette‘s name pays homage to the exceptional Italian craftsmanship of her historied luxury-linen counterpart, and has an interior arrangement that’s not only tailored to the owner’s preferences, but also displays refined materials from the Frette textiles label.
Built upon a steel hull with an aluminium superstructure, Frette’s naval engineering was executed by the shipyard in partnership with Hydro Tec studio. According to Columbus, the exterior profile “evokes the elegance of a smoothly carved stone; devoid of sharp edges and abrupt changes in inclination”.
Milan-based design house Hot Lab took responsibility for both the exterior and interior design, achieving a “natural synthesis between a motoryacht and a classic sailing boat”.
“Frette joins the Columbus fleet as an emblem of modernity, elegance, attention to detail and tailor-made customisations to meet the owner’s desires,” said Giuseppe Palumbo, CEO of Palumbo Superyachts.
Camper & Nicholsons New Build Division provided comprehensive representation for the owner, overseeing the project from the precontractual stage to completion, and fulfilling the roles of project manager and technical surveyor.
“Working alongside the shipyard and Hot Lab on this project has been an incredible experience, bolstered by the unwavering support of the owner and their team,” said Lau. “We look forward to welcoming the first custom-built Columbus Yacht to cruise Asia.”
Frette will be joining the Camper & Nicholsons Yacht Management Division.
Duck said the beautiful new yacht is sure to turn heads at yacht shows. “The Columbus Atlantique 43m is yet another masterpiece we have had the chance to project manage since the pre-contract phase, subsequently offering both flagging and yacht management and thereby proving the great advantage of our holistic suite of services,” he added.
Frette will be on display at both the Cannes Yachting Festival and Monaco Yacht Show in September.
