Project: Atlantis 34

Atlantis continues its range renovation with the project of a new 34 set to be launched coming October. As is all the new range since the launch of the 48 in 2010, the latest Atlantis model is again a work of the Team from Neo Design of Biaggi and Salvetti.  This new entry level Atlantis follows a lot of the features seen in last year introduced 38. For example the 75% hard top covered aft deck resembles a lot of the features seen in this much praised latest 38 model; from the C-shaped settee and chaise lounge to port side, to an L-shaped wet bar and helm to starboard.  Down below things change more as the Atlantis 34 follows the layout of a Vee shaped settee which converts to a double to fore, shower head to starboard, galley to port and a twin cabin to midships, this sleeping a total of four.

Project: Sessa 24 Key Largo IB

One year after the launch of the Key Largo 34 and 27 IB, Sessa boosts more its Open line, introducing the stern drive version of the 24.  This new small Sessa 24 Key Largo IB, strongly expresses the effort and the will of the North Italian factory to strengthen the open range segment, offering the market a small boat characterized by large spaces, created for those who want to enjoy every comfort without sacrificing design.  The squared-off bow together with the aggressive lines of the cockpit area, designed by Christian Grande, Sessa Marine Group designer for many years, remind those sophisticated and typical drawings of sports cars. Versatility is a factor in any yacht but more so in small sizes.  The 24 Key Largo offers loads of it starting from the aft settee which can become a huge sunpad, a big folding bimini, and a cabin with bar unit able to accommodate a forty liters fridge, and a vacuum flush toilet on request.  Power will be from a single Volvo petrol gas engine of 260hp with stern drive propulsion and top speeds of 40 knots.

Project: Cranchi Fifty8 HT

Cranchi presents a project for the Fifty8 HT, another new member of its ever important Yacht Class range which by the end of 2012 will feature six models from 54 to 66 feet.  As is usual to Cranchi a lot of Research and Design goes in each model release, and even tough the Fifty8 HT is the sleek sports version of last year released Fly model of the same designation I am sure this is again the case.  Cranchi Fifty8 HT follows recent trends of a sports yacht with accommodation and comfort which competes to that of a flybridge boat.  The interior layout of the Fifty8 HT follows that of the Fly version with a living on the main deck, and a lower deck dedicated to three double cabins and two heads, of which one en-suite for the master room.  The owner stateroom located to midships has a bed which looks to port side, and having a breakfast table opposite. The main deck which is in a split level shape surprises for its central helm which is accompanied by a dinette to port side, and astern galley located by the patio door.  Power options are twin Volvo engine choices, a 600 or 700hp with the second generation IPS800 or 900 choice.  Speed estimates are not as yet given, but imagine a max of 32 knots possible with the big engine choice similar to that of the Fifty8 Fly model.

The interiors are spacious and wisely organized, in order to exploit living areas at their best. Volumes are notably enlarged by the natural light coming in from the wide windows on the main deck and from the large glazing under deck. The flybridge is the result of an extensive study carried out by the Ferretti Group for indoor and outdoor layout optimization. This area has been has been entirely redesigned so as to ensure all guests the utmost comfort. A choice of three or four double cabins is available, with a crew quarters located to midships behind the owners stateroom.

Project: Fairline 62 Targa GT

Fairline presents the new 62 Targa GT project, a further extension of the 58 model of the same designation.  This new Targa flagship keeps a lot of the praised lower deck layout which chooses for a forward owner stateroom, and two double guest cabins to midships, with the main difference from the 2009 launched model coming in the exterior aft deck.  Here the Fairline design team went for a full Mediterranean layout with a big large central located sun lounger, which can stow a tender underneath, and having an extended bathing platform to stern.  This makes it possible for the new 62 Targa GT to carry two tenders, if one desires so.  In this layout a single crew cabin is available to fore, and for the tender garage the second aft crew cabin option seems lost in the plans although it is on a To Be Confirmed basis in the specification.  Three engine options are available for the 62 Targa GT; twin Volvo 800 or 900hp, and MAN 1200hp.  Speed estimates are not yet announced, but is not the first time that a longer hull, even though a bit heavier can actually copy those of the smaller version.
