Grand ceremony for the launching of M/Y ANJELIF, the brand-new Columbus 50-metre custom superyacht that, built entirely in aluminium, has been designed for a highly demanding and experienced owner.
This is a decidedly innovative superyacht and not only because of its hybrid, diesel-electric propulsion.
This superyacht, in fact, makes use of two distinct and highly advanced technologies: one through the application of cold plasma for the sanitization of air coming from outside and used both for ventilation and air conditioning;
the other one dedicated to room sanitization at preset intervals to ensure daily safety.
Exteriors and interiors are by Marco Casali of Too-Design while the engineering is by the Palumbo Superyachts team. The interior design has been rigorously developed with natural and ecological materials and includes a gym on the main deck, a sauna, massage room.
The swimming pool in the transom with exposed teak finish is of very scenic effect, while a second Jacuzzi is located on the top deck.
At the bow, we find a functional zone complete with sunbathing area and a touch & go helicopter docking platform which can be eventually transformed into an open-air cinema.
The layout includes 4 decks, with the master cabin positioned on the main deck forward and 4 double cabins below deck. The crew is made up of 11 members accommodated in 7 cabins.
Columbus Custom 50m has a 499 GT gross tonnage and can reach a maximum speed of 20 knots with a range of 3000 nautical miles at 12 knots. The diesel engine system includes 2 x MTU 16V 2000 M96L of 1939 kW each, while 2 x 175 kW Kohler generators make up for the electric one.
The hybrid system provides for the possibility of using two electric motors in diesel-electric propulsion with a power of 100 kW each for a speed of approximately 9 knots. The electric motors coupled with the propulsion motors, can in turn be used as shaft generators, allowing navigation with the gen-sets off.
Columbus Custom 50m will have her world premiere at the Monaco Yacht Show 2023.
