Project: Rose Island 65 Lobster

The 65 Lobster by Rose Island, is the review of the 60 Lobster project presented in 2001 and will be the biggest build so far from this Italian company. Founded in 1999, Rose Island was first among the Italians, to build traditional cruisers based on the lines of the American lobster boat of the early nineteenth century, in fact the Lobster name is registered to its name. The philosophy behind this new important project from Rose Island, is that of classic looks and appearance, that really takes you back in time. Unlike the competition, Rose Island and architects Aldo Gatti and Marino Alfani went for a classic over all mentality in there models, and even in this new flagship project they did follow suit and kept it traditional as with the 49 and 38. The accommodation layout, is very spacious featuring 3 separate cabins all with en-suite facilities and a separate crew lobby with accommodation for 2. Striking features of the 65 lobster are the traditional American double cockpit, and the upper deck with a second helm station area. Power is for twin 800hp MAN, which Rose Island says should give top speeds of about 33 knots.

Projects: Atlantis 42 HT, Atlantis 425 SC HT

World renowned builder Atlantis updates it's 42 model, without changing much of the original shape but modifying the radar arch, now forward looking and adding a hardtop, following recent client requests and trends. As we can see in the picture the result is a great looking boat, and follows what was done on the 47 a year ago. The interior remains the same functional 2 cabins with en suite layout. Main deck cockpit up top is offered in two versions. A standard version with a c-shaped settee and a sun lounger which underneath houses a tender garage, what is a typical Mediterranean layout or else if the above is not good for you, Atlantis also offers the 42 Plus version with a different and roomier 2 c-shaped settees layout. Top seller for Atlantis brand, the 425 SC was projected by Gobbi before the company take over by the Azimut Benetti Group in 2001. As the case with the Atlantis 42 above and 47 before it, the 425 SC gets also the cosmetic add up of a hard top, aimed at continuing the 7 years of successful production this model has enjoyed. The hard top design updates the 425 SC to current market trends and follows what was done with the 47 HT introduced last year. Top selling characteristics of the 425 SC remain there, like the much admired full beam owners cabin unheard of in boats of similar size, but also the functionality of a boat which changed the way medium large sized sports cruisers look.
