New Model: Atlantic 56 Twin Deck

Presented as a project in 2009 its been a long time coming for the new Atlantic model which finally sees the water, the 56 Twin Deck is a revolution from this Dutch firm which is famous for its aft cabin cruisers featuring a hull design by John Benett.  This new model is a challenge to the Northern boater who wants a motor boat usable all year round thanks to some important changes. The 56 Twin Deck to start has a a full forward cabin layout, designer duties entrusted to Dutch firm Vripack, and also features Volvo IPS pod drives.  Looking on the outside the 56 Twin Deck is a bit of a hybrid from an aft cabin to a sport cruiser thanks to the raised aft deck the 56 Twin Deck offers three double cabins below with an owners room amidships and full beam layout.  A relaxing living is located on the main deck this featuring a C-shaped lounger and two sofas, all this behind the helm station to starboard. Below in between the cabins is also a C-shaped dinette and the L-shape galley. A three meter plus tender garage is located to aft.

Project: Atlantic 18 m Sea Hawk

Atlantic Motor Yachts from Holland present this fast sport yacht project which goes away from what its usual line up from 42 up to 56 feet aft cabin cruisers and yachts offer.  The renderings show a totally different Atlantic from the sports hard top line, to the high technological construction method, and the axe bow. The 18 m Sea Hawk was designed by Richard Sauter from Sauter Carbon Offset Design and this is a high performance zero carbon  sport yacht with a top speed of 50 knots.  For Atlantic Motoryachts, the Sea Hawk is a yacht that enables them to start developing a new range with the latest technical requirements of modern future yacht building methods. For many years the dutch Atlantic has constructed a range of classical fibre glass builds, but this new project is a challenge which with the help of designer Richard Sauter and latest technologies features an innovative solar hybrid power which achieves a very high percentage fuel reduction.  The Atlantic Sea Hawk combines a plug-in Sunpower solar array with an Allison Hybrid system to produce the cleanest marine propulsion system in the world.  Alison Transmission, is a unit of General Motors, in partnership with the U. S. Department of Energy, developed this hybrid system under the DOE's Advanced Heavy Hybrid Propulsion System Program.  The Atlantic 18 m Sea Hawk, apart its innovative propulsion system will also feature a two cabin interior plus a crew cabin located to mid ship.  The living of the 18 m Sea Hawk is to be located on the main deck.

Project: Atlantic 56 Twin Deck

Commissioned by Atlantic Yachts, to a design by Vripack Naval Architects of Sneek the dutch builder and design firm developed an entirely new project model, the 56 Twin Deck. In a market where there is much competition, but also much of the same type of yachts, Atlantic with the help of Vripack sets to brings a revolutionary motor yacht. For example Atlantic has asked to the design firm to do everything finished as flush with the surface as much as possible but also other items set to leave an uncluttered deck as the anchor assembly concealed below deck, fenders storage, concealed hydraulic passarelle gangway, and aft garage for a three metre plus tender. The 56 Twin Deck accommodation layout below deck offers a two or three double cabin choices, and still featuring the much desired mid ship owner's suite with its own separate shower and toilet. Next door to the owners cabin is also an utility room with washing machine and a separate dryer. To fore there is the VIP cabin with a luxurious double bed. On the starboard side fore there is a room that can be specified as a third cabin with double bunk berths or alternatively as a study office. A second head features to fore port side, this also having a washing machine. In the centre of the lower accommodation deck there is the C-shaped sofa to starboard with a fully equipped galley opposite. Above on the main deck is the living area with a central fully equipped pilot station to fully control the 56 Twin Deck, and to port side there is a round settee with two luxurious club chairs. The wheelhouse here is also fitted with a panoramic, electrically operated sliding roof, completely flush concealed. The Atlantic 56 Twin Deck also has a spacious aft deck with an aft bench where the lounge table can be stored, which also features easy connection to the side decks leading to fore, here having a big sun-deck with underneath storage space. The 56 Twin Deck will be powered with IPS600 D6 435hp engines.
