The first unit in Atlante Yachts' Classic 35 series is undergoing extensive sea trials in Istanbul, Turkey. Christened Cabana, the Italian brand celebrated her launch from Mengi Yay's Tuzla facilities last month, with delivery to her "experienced Northern European" owner scheduled for the end of June.
The 34.5-metre model 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 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. Paolo Dose, lead designer at VYD Studio, called Cabana a "unique project" at her launch, "brought to life through craftsmanship, engineering and international collaboration."
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.
