Italian brand Atlante Yachts has announced the launch of the first unit in its Atlante Classic 35 series, christened Cabana. The 34.5-metre model made a splash at Mengi Yay's shipyard in Tuzla, Turkey, with delivery to her "experienced Northern European" owner imminent.
The Atlante Classic 35 is a modern interpretation of the full displacement explorer yacht, with Atlante Yachts committed to an all-Italian design. Exterior and interior design is therefore owed to VYD Studio, while naval architecture has been completed by Arrabito Naval Architects.
"The launch of Cabana marks the culmination of a unique project brought to life through craftsmanship, engineering and international collaboration," said Paolo Dose, lead designer at VYD Studio. The build was initially conceived as a 33-metre concept under 300GT, with Dose explaining that Cabana "evolved" throughout the development process to become a long-range explorer at 330GT.
Accommodation is across five en suite cabins. Interior renderings reveal a fresh, contemporary style with floor-to-ceiling windows, light-wood wall panelling and a gentle colour palette of blues and greys. The design was developed with extensive input from the owners, including the choice of high-quality Italian materials and fabrics.
Leisure highlights include a beach club with an unfolding transom and ample entertainment areas across its three decks. The hardtop sundeck is the main communal area, fitted with fixed sunpads, an al fresco dining area with U-shaped sofa seating and a dry bar.
"With the layout of the Atlante Classic 35 we have aimed to achieve a perfect equilibrium within the parameters of length, beam and within a very high volume, usually only available in vessels several metres longer," added Dose. "This allows a harmonious balance between accommodation, living, exterior and technical areas."
Powered by twin Volvo Penta engines, Cabana has a cruising speed of 11 knots and a range in excess of 4,000 nautical miles.
The second Atlante Classic 35 is currently for sale, with delivery scheduled for the first quarter of 2027.
