New Model: Invictus TT420

Invictus starts the 2023 year by presenting its second in size new TT420 model at the Dusseldorf boat show.  An announced model at the fall of 2022, the TT420 comes from Christian Grande, the designer who has thus far designed all Invictus, and is all about offering the TT460 qualities in a smaller package.  It is in reality a big competitor to the current Invictus flagship in exterior spaces, offering a similar layout, with the difference being felt much more inside in the accommodation area below decks.  Like the TT460 the TT420 is all about exterior living which spans the whole twelve meters length of this sport cruiser, and is easy to navigate thanks to the walk around deck, split only by one step forward, and the option of two port and starboard drop down balconies which extend the space. The main deck welcomes you aft with a central sun-pad which also features a garage for a tender over two meters in size underneath, further forward  is a dinette with  opposite looking settees and space for six to eight persons, followed by a huge galley wet-bar, and then the triple settee helm station. To fore-deck is a V-shaped sun-pad.  Down below the Invictus offers four berths accommodation, in two single berths at midships and a V-shaped dinette which scissor closes and becomes a double berth.  In between the cabins is a spacious head to starboard, with a separate shower box looking aft.  The Invictus TT420 is powered by Volvo 320hp up 440hp in stern drive propulsion.

Project: Invictus TT420

Invictus completes its range with the project of TT420, filling the gap between the TT460 flagship and GT370 models, and currently under going finishing touches and preparing itself to make its world début at the upcoming Dusseldorf 2023 boat show, set to be held in Düsseldorf January 2023.  Designed as the other Invictus by Christian Grande the essential lines of this new twelve meter are distinctive of Invictus hulls, combining style and attention to performance, with the profile incorporating the stylistic features of its bigger TT460 sister a winner of the Design Innovation Award in 2020, and characterised by the elegant features of the windshield, which blend seamlessly into the carbon hardtop and further streamline the powerful mass of this model. The integral glass windshield with wipers, in particular, represents an unusual solution on this size of boat and protects during navigation. At the same time, a front opening system ensures an effective air circulation when at anchor.  The deck, characterised along its entire length by a comfortable perimeter walkway protected by high bulwarks, has a large bow sundeck that can be converted into a chaise longue, transforming it into a romantic and enchanting corner ideal for comfortably enjoying the cruise or sipping a quiet aperitif. Amidships, thanks to the folding tables, the spacious dinette can be converted into a large space for relaxation, sheltered by the hard top. At the same height, the sides can be equipped, optionally, with two collapsible side terraces, thus increasing the living space on board, but, above all, offering a perception of openness towards the outside that is best appreciated during lunch and when relaxing: a solution that breaks down the ideal barrier dividing the boat from the surrounding environment.  The aft swim platform is teak-covered, as is the whole deck. The shipyard offers the option of equipping it with a hydraulic handling device to facilitate boarding and managing the tender plus a garage large enough to accommodate a 2.10-metre tender, are features rarely found on this category of sport cruisers.  Internally, Christian Grande has opted for an open space solution. Upon entering, the spacious living area is in full display, with U-shaped rotating sofas, which can surprisingly transform into a comfortable double bed. Aft is a cabin with separate beds. The generous bulwarks have made it possible to obtain remarkable internal heights, which have been used for a large bathroom with separate shower.  The first unit of the new TT420 will be in the shipyard's identifying Personal White colour. But this new TT420, like its larger TT460, will later be available in the special Vogue White colour, which represents the ability of Invictus to always deliver a unique interpretation of even a “simple” colour as white. The Invictus TT420 is to be powered by twin Volvo 320hp or 440hp with stern drive propulsion.

New Model: Invictus TT460

The Invictus TT460 was one of the most awaited novelties for the fall 2020, designed by Christian Grande the new flagship of the Italian builder did not defy expectations and by the end of Genoa boat show 2020 the company had already sold six units, with two already launched.  A walk around centre console full of unique characteristics the TT460 philosophy revolves around a cutting edge modern design.  So much all this is true that the model has already won its first prize for Design Innovation Award 2020.  Like any walk around sport cruiser the Invictus TT460 revolves around its outside area, with a central three seat centre console taking centre stage. Behind the helm one finds a galley, which is followed by a dinette with opposite seats and a central aft sun pad.  To both sides we have opening bulk heads which open to increase space and also offer two outlets to the water.  Inside the TT460 offers accommodation for four in an island double master bed forward, and twin berths at midships.  To starboard we have the shower head.  An alternative layout exists where instead of a double berth forward one trades this for a lounge area with sofa and entertainment area opposite.  The Invictus TT460 is powered by twin Volvo 480hp with IPS pod drives, giving estimated top speeds up to 38 knots.

Project: Invictus TT460

Invictus keeps growing and presents the new TT460, a fourteen meter sport cruiser designed by Chistian Grande which is to be the Italian shipyard’s new flagship and will be launched this summer. The taut, essential lines are typical of Invictus hulls, in which style and attention to performance are combined: the new TT460 is equipped with twin Volvo 480hp couple to IPS650 forward looking pod propulsion.  The characterizing element of the new Invictus TT460 is the elegant style of the windscreen, from the bow to amidships, which blends seamlessly with the carbon hardtop and further enhances the size of this center console sport cruiser.  The deck, which includes a comfortable walkway on its perimeter, has a large sundeck in the bow with a flush-seat at the edge. Amidships, the dinette tables can be folded back to make room for a second sundeck, shaded by the hardtop. In the same position, the topsides can be equipped with two fold-able platforms, which increase the living space onboard.  Teak wood can be laid on the stern swim platform and on the whole deck. A hydraulic moving device can be added to help swimmers climb back aboard and to manage the tender, which is an unusual feature on this type of yacht.  Invictus has given owners plenty of opportunities to customize the interiors, ranging from an open-space solution with a transformable double bed in the stern and a lounge area in the bow, to the inclusion of partitions to divide areas and increase privacy.  “Personalization” is the keyword when focusing on finishes and details: there are plenty of colours and types of upholstery to choose from the Atelier Invictus, so owners can configure their boat to satisfy their needs and according to their personal taste.  The Atelier Invictus also offers its customers a network of specialized craftsmen and highly qualified suppliers. Customers are therefore followed from the early stages of purchase and guided through a true virtual laboratory, in which the boat is designed with individual material inserts and equipment. This allows to customize an industrially produced boat, so that it expresses the owner’s personality, style and tastes.

New Model: Invictus CX250

Invictus presents the new CX250 a sterndrive day boat sport cruiser designed by Christian Grande and able to offer comfortable living space in only just over seven meters of length. The new Invictus CX250 comes in a perfect place as an ideal alternative between the CX240 and the CX280. In common with the other CX range models, this mini sport cruiser was conceived to concentrate lots of equipment with high level comfort and encase them all in a little space. The choice of a stern-drive, with a hull especially designed for it, allows for a spacious stern platform that excels in comfort while at anchor and at the same time makes it easy to come aboard from the dock. The reclining L-shaped settee extends the sun bathing zone towards the cockpit. The vertical control console is located central of the boat, while behind it is the living zone set amidships, and easily transformable to complete the stern dinette and giving another seat to those who love to enjoy their boat with friends. Protection from the midday sun comes from the retractable awning that opens over the entire living area.  Below deck we have an open space with double Vee berth, a corner washroom featuring a cabinet that holds the toilet when not needed, while a very roomy cabinet to the left of the stairs guarantees ample storage space. These are all featured in a luminous ambient, thanks to two wide side windows that increase the perceptions coming from the outside and reduce the effect of the hull as an architectural barrier. You must not be distracted by the beauty of the finishing and fine detailing from the noteworthy sea-keeping qualities of the hull, always easily driven and smooth riding even in rough water. The Invictus CX250 is powered by a single 250hp engine with stern drive propulsion which allows top speeds of 36 knots, and a comfortable cruising speed of 25 knots.

New Model: Invictus GT320

With the new GT320 model Invictus raises its philosophy as outlined by designer Christian Grande, with features which are part of the smaller 280 and bigger 370 GT models, and in the same time renewing the identity of the brand and the GT range. From the GT280 the 320 takes its dynamic properties, which combine with the large living areas inspired from the GT370 flagship.  The Invictus GT 320 follows family design features from the reverse bow, further emphasized by the oval-section edge that runs the length of the boat, from the bow down to the stern swim platform.  The Invictus GT320 deck layout offers access to the cockpit via the stern swim platform, moving left of the large sundeck, which can be further expanded by transforming the fore sofa. In the middle of the cockpit, the L-shaped dinette has a table and faces a real outdoor galley; with fridge, ice maker, grill and basin, all neatly tucked into a stand-up cabinet in Invictus style which can conceal all behind doors. The cockpit can be sheltered by a standard hidden sun canopy. Among the Invictus GT320 optional, the carbon hardtop stands out and this can be extended to provide more shade with a transpiring, ventilated fabric held in place by carbon rods. The pilot and co-pilot chairs, with a bottle-holder between them, add value to the helm station.  At the bow, the large sundeck has headrests positioned on the deck-house, creating relaxing areas. Inside the Invictus GT320 has a transforming dinette along the port topside, with a container cabinet on the starboard side. At the stern, a second open-space cabin with double bed makes the best of the cockpit’s architecture, without adding weight to the boat’s profile, which appears slim and streamlined.  A bathroom is in the center of the cabin areat and has all the comforts needed to fully enjoy life on board. Invictus GT 320  is powered by engines up to twin 430hp in various stern drive propulsion from twin or single petrol gas or diesel engines. Invictus GT series is very much a semi custom project and the GT 320 is no exception offering eight color options for the exterior and a variety the interesting option of the carbon T-Top or a fully open look.

New Model: Invictus 370 GT Special Edition

The Invictus 370 GT took the yachting world by storm when it was presented at the 2016 Cannes Yachting Festival. With its sculpted hull, distinctive reverse bow, elegant interior and choice of layout, the award-winning sport cruiser offered a level of innovation and sophistication, comfort and performance, completely new in its size category. Now Invictus Yacht has taken this philosophy a step further. The new 370 GT Special Edition takes all these distinguishing features, but adds another layer of exclusivity with interior decor and furnishings revisited by the famous fashion stylist Anna Fendi. The project started during a chance meeting between Anna Fendi and Christian Grande, the principle designer of the Invictus range. They discovered they shared the same creative sensibilities and the ideas started to flow. From this aesthetic alchemy, a new project was born that took the 370 GT as its starting point. Conceived as a deluxe daybout for overnight cruising, the series model can just as well serve as a super yacht tender or chase boat. The challenge was how to bring something extra to the original design that would appeal to clients with even more discerning tastes. Among the four layout options available, the arrangement with a forward dinette and a full-beam owner’s cabin was selected as the most suitable for the 370 GT Special Edition. But the already distinctive style of the series has been transformed by introducing a subtle colour palette of contrasting black and white tones for the furnishings and fabrics. A wide variety of opaque and polished finishes add warmth and texture to the monochrome tones. The black surfaces, for example, are metallic chromed using a special Physical Vapour Deposition process that deposits a nickel film onto the substrate. A velvety ivory finish, on the other hand, has been applied to the furniture pieces of pale Tanganyika White frisé that highlights the softness of the wood. This black and white theme continues in the soft furnishings and fabrics, from the day sofa in warm, ivory white chenille, to the linen drapes bordered in dark leather. Other Anna Fendi hallmarks include the design motifs borrowed from leather goods and travel cases. The wardrobe in the owner’s cabin is styled to resemble a classic travel case and finished in a combination of nappa and glossy black leather with metallic detailing. The dinette furniture is styled in similar fashion with storage for wine bottles, glassware and bespoke tableware, typical of the Anna Fendi Collection, under its lifting top. A final touch is the mirrored forward bulkhead with a metal framework of black nickel that pays tribute to the Villa Laetitia boutique hotel refurbished by Anna Fendi. The same style and attention to detail extends to the exterior cockpit where the teak decking with ivory caulking is laid out in a herring-bone pattern, and the sofas are decorated with black leather belts and buckles embossed with the Anna Fendi signature. Last but not least guaranteed to turn heads, is the ivory white livery of the hull with its strip windows and topsides bordered in black.

New Model: Invictus 280 GT

Invictus was born from a challenge to offer a new reference to the world yachting market. Invictus features three different lines, the GT, FX and TT models, all conceived and built according to the qualities that have made Italian shipyards appreciated in the world: aesthetics, dependability, flexibility and a long lifespan.  Thanks to the collaboration with the famous Christian Grande DesignWorks office, Invictus has incorporated a remarkable technology component and a careful attention to details into the design of this new 280GT model. The new 280 GT strikes for its reverse bow, appearing both sharp and massive at the same time, merging into the sides of the hull without frippery, and crafted using uniform transitions between full and empty shapes, while the cabin windows and the air intakes for the engines are shaped like simple lines that emphasize the monolithic characters that Christian Grande desired. The choice of this particular bow structure also allows for a longer waterline length for length, which gives better stability and interior space, with a substantial increase in below-deck livability. Surfaces are designed as if they were carved shapes, and impart a sensation of sturdiness. When aboard the 280GT we find an ample stern bathing platform, with the engine housing covered with a sunbathing cushion that enlarges by rotating the rear backrest. The central zone hosts a comfortable L-shaped settee that faces the steering area, the latter with a solid double ergonomic seat and a midships position equipped with a galley module, complete with a refrigerator and lockers.The bridge, which also includes access to the interior, is protected by a wide sweep-around windscreen and equipped with the latest digital instrumentation, and includes a video monitor. The left side bulwarks is optimized for on-board movements and equipped with a spacious stowage space that can also be customized by the owner in several versions, including housing for a set of matching accessories. The bow zone, suited for sunbathing, is quite large and designed for total ease of use and covers the forward portion of the ample cabin, which is a small suite. The Invictus 280GT comes equipped with a Volvo 320hp stern-drive petrol engine, capable of 38 knots top speeds. The 280GT can carry up to eight passengers and comes with a large cabin and separate bath and external galley module, with all the extras. At present four color schemes are available: the delicate “Vanilla Sea”, the more aggressive “Attack Grey”, the elegant “Dark Wood”, and the classic “Personal White”. The 280GT, like all the vessels of this series, can be customized both with accessories and equipment.
