5 surprising features of VSY's 64m Atomic you might not know

21 March 2025 • Written by Emily Dawkins

Delivered in 2020 by Viareggio Superyachts (VSY), the 63.8-metre motor yacht Atomic presents an unassuming grey and white profile, but a striking red dash along her waterline hints at the unique features within. Built on spec, Atomic was transformed by Espen Øino International, Laurent Giles Naval Architects and Darnet Design into an owner's playground. BOAT takes a closer look at five standout features you might not know about Atomic.

Currently listed for sale for the first time since her launch, Atomic is on the market with Mark Elliot of IYC, asking $49,900,000.

1. Built for an avid deep-sea diver

One of Atomic's most notable features is her professional dive centre. Originally constructed on spec, Atomic was soon acquired by an owner with a passion for scuba diving, who sought a larger yacht to accommodate his hobby after purchasing a 45-metre superyacht. The bulbous bow design of Atomic made her the ideal choice.

Located on the lower deck, the dive centre doubles as a beach club, complete with diving equipment such as oxygen tanks and wetsuits. It also offers direct water access, with a side-opening balcony featuring a ladder and shower for a seamless diving experience.

2. A completely unique red spa pool on the sundeck

Not often seen on superyachts, Atomic boasts a red spa pool on her sundeck. Although compact, the pool is a striking feature, finished with iridescent red and coral tiles that shimmer in the light. It’s an infinity pool, providing 180-degree views over the stern, and the glass-bottomed design creates a beautiful effect below, illuminating the al fresco dining area with colourful, coral-like reflections. The sundeck also features a barbecue, U-shaped bar, sun loungers and a split-level lounge toward the bow, complete with a gas fire pit.

3. Monaco Red accents throughout the yacht

Atomic pays homage to her owner’s favourite colour with accents of "Monaco Red" found throughout the yacht. From sundeck cushions and dive centre towels to throws on the main saloon sofas and red crockery on the dining table, red pops up thoughtfully across both interior and exterior spaces. The sundeck interior lounge, located amidships between the open deck spaces, is notably vibrant with large red pillows and a playful red-and-white patterned carpet. This is another nod to the bold red dash across her hull, symbolising the owner's personal touch.

4. Aft deck designed for easy water access

By 2012, trends in superyacht design focused on improving access to the water for owners. While Atomic doesn’t feature a full beach club, her design cleverly meets these demands. The yacht has an open transom and a spacious aft deck with twin sofas offering optimal sea views. A wide staircase leads to the swim platform, providing easy access to tenders and water toys. “It’s not a beach club, but it’s close,” says Lorenzo Cerulli, VSY’s sales and after-sales manager at the time of the build.

5. Unique features set her apart from her sisterships

Built as a sistership to Candyscape II (now Sealion) and Roma, Atomic boasts several distinctive features. Most notably, vertical windows thanks to Øino, multiple balconies (both fixed and opening), and grey exterior set her apart from her white-hulled sisterships. Additionally, her clever open transom design enhances water access.

Other standout features include an owner's office, a reading nook in the owner’s suite, and a child-friendly, air-conditioned saloon on the top deck. Guests will also notice the raised ceiling height on the main deck, a special request from the owner.
