Columbus Yachts has delivered the first yacht in its Atlantique 43 series, named Night Fury II. According to BOATPro, Night Fury II is currently en route to Malta and is estimated to reach her destination on Friday. She will be on display at Monaco Yacht Show later this year.
The 43-metre yacht was launched in April in a ceremony attended by the European owner and his family, having been sold in 2021 with the buyer introduced by Renaud Canivet of Ocean Drive. Two more 43-metre hulls will be launched by the Italian brand, to a design by Milan-based studio Hot Lab.
According to the studio, Night Fury II's exterior is "a fairly organic blend of a motor yacht and a classic sailing hull", seen best in the "sailing-type" stern. Naval architecture is by Palumbo Superyachts in collaboration with Hydro Tec.
Night Fury II's defining feature is her beach club, which has two fold-out side wings and is arranged around a panoramic swimming pool that sits 50 centimetres above the water. A connection with the outdoors is further encouraged with the yacht's fold-out balconies and bow dip pool, surrounded by sunpads, an al fresco lounge and far-reaching ocean views.
Guest accommodation is across four double cabins, two VIP en suite cabins and two twin cabins. Meanwhile, the full-beam master cabin on the main deck is arranged with a kingsize bed, full-length windows, a dressing room and a private terrace aft.
The main saloon offers two relaxation areas, including one designed as a cinema lounge with its large sofa and 82-inch, wall-mounted television screen.
Other amenities on board include an al fresco dining table for 12 guests and an adaptable guest room that can be used as a gym or library.
A 5.5-metre tender garage is located aft, with additional storage space for a second tender or rescue boat alongside two Jet Skis located on the main deck forward.
Powered by twin Cat C32 Acert engines of 970kW, Night Fury II can reach a maximum speed of 15.5 knots and a cruising speed of 14.5 knots.
