Atlante Yachts unveils new Classic 36 model with aft deck lounge

7 August 2025 • Written by Emily Dawkins

Italian brand Atlante Yachts has unveiled a new 36.2-metre addition to its explorer yacht range: the Classic 36. Said to complement the existing 34.5-metre Classic 35 design, the series is based on the same, high-volume Arrabito Naval Architects hull platform and is once again penned throughout by Italian designer VYD Studio.

The news follows the successful launch of Cabana, the first unit in the Atlante Classic 35 series built by Turkish yard Mengi Yay, which was designed as a modern, all-Italian interpretation of the full displacement explorer yacht. The Classic 36 builds upon this smaller 34.5-metre model with the addition of two extra metres, allowing for an aft deck lounge with infinity pool and a sundeck Jacuzzi.

The aft deck also features folding bulwarks for additional space, and a handy descending ladder for easy water access

Other similarities between the models include a steel and aluminium build and cruising abilities, with the latter set to provide an "ocean crossing" range in excess of 4,000 nautical miles.

Other specs of the Classic 36 include a cruising speed of 11 knots, a maximum speed of 14 knots and a 40,000-litre fuel capacity, with power coming from twin 850hp IMO Tier III certified Volva Penta engines. She has a beam of 8.3 metres and a 2.4-metre draft.

As with the previous Atlante semi-custom platforms, the Classic 36 offers flexibility for new clients: the layouts can be customised, performance-optimised and have equipment tailored to any specific requirements. The interior design on board can also be reimagined per the owners' request, adorned by "tasteful contemporary tones" and "the highest-quality Italian materials and fabrics".

Accommodation is for 10 guests in a traditional five cabin-layout - four guest cabins on the lower deck and a full-beam master suite on the main deck forward. There are further quarters for a crew of seven.

An interior volume of 338GT – noted by the yard to be "usually only available in vessels several metres longer" – allows for a broad open-plan main saloon, a large skylounge and deck spaces aplenty, from the sundeck and the upper deck al fresco lounge to the new open aft deck.

The first Atlante Classic 36 is available for delivery in 2027. In other news, the brand recently unveiled a new explorer yacht model known as the Classic 42.
