Production Technology
This project is in a concept phase but aluminium construction is planned, both hull and superstructure. In this way you can reduce weight and consumption, and consequently pollution. Furthermore using hybrid propulsion systems, clients are able to visit remote and protected areas only with electric propulsion at low costs and vibrations.
Design Challenge
The inspiration comes from transportation design and nature. To integrate with nature, and sea in particular, you have to be in contact with it, an aspect achieved thanks to glass and multiple folding balconies integrated in the hull and hybrid propulsion cutting pollution, noise and vibrations.
One of the hardest part in the exterior design is creating sinuous lines with aluminium giving it a robust and curved aspect at the same time. Above all elegant and modern.
Research
The research began in the nautical sector comparing various yachts/ships, passing through cars, planes, architecture and nature.
It was important to fully understand the market and the product itself before drawing my vision.
The final aim was reaching green technology and elegant design in the same product, having in mind the future design.
Inspiration
This 77 metres concept yacht has its focus on proportions and modern elegance taking inspiration from elegant yachts bow with modern design. The project aims at timeless beauty.
Project Duration
The project has been drawn in 2019.
Operation Flow
This project is a pleasure yacht and it is operated by a trained crew living aboard offering various services, from captain to specific crew operating helicopters and tender boats. Thanks to folding balconies, garages and platforms it can transform when not in motion. Atlantico is made in aluninium to reduce weight and consumption, thanks to this the speed is higher and the draft reduced. The yacht can be operated in fully electric mode to have low vibrations/noise and zero pollution. Features are: light materials; eco-friendly; double-height spaces, interior-exterior connection and holistic design.
