Azimut Atlantis 45 by Azimut-Benetti – Sporty design and spacious cabins

 

The Atlantis 45 is the successor to its predecessor, the Atlantis 43, a very popular yacht that has exceeded all expectations with over 140 yachts delivered in four years. With a Volvo IPS engine, this yacht adopts the same design specifications as its older version, the Atlantis 51.

The upper part of the front end rises vertically and partially stretches forward to enhance the dynamics of a boat with a strong sporty character, while the hull windows extend over the entire side, emphasizing the sharpness of the contours and the sporty soul of this yacht. A tender of up to 2.5 metres in length can be accommodated in the aft garage.

Due to the thin posts and no centre support (simple windscreen) you have an excellent view while driving. The main deck and the flush deck are level, the stern and the bow sun decks are very large. The spacious structure, which separates the kitchen and dining area to save space, inherits the characteristics of the 43. The Atlantis 45 has two cabins: the owner’s cabin and a second one in the middle of the boat, with two beds which can be connected to a double bed if required. A third bed can also be added. There are two bathrooms, both with separate shower cabins. The rooms are very spacious and cosy, thanks to a total width of 4.25 metres.

The Atlantis 45 also has a huge storage capacity: almost 8,000 litres are available for storing luggage, equipment and provisions.

Technical data:
Hull length: 14,60 m.
Width: 4,25 m.
Draught: 1,10 m.
Displacement: 15500 kg.

Access to the interior is via the hydraulic bathing platform, leading to a teak deck which runs throughout the living area.

The modified deep V-hull of the Princess Y78, enables planing at lower speeds.

BRABUS Shadow 900 collector’s edition: World premiere at boot 2020

 

 

Welcome to the most awe-inspiring new boat launches of 2020.

BRABUS Shadow 900 collector’s edition: World premiere at boot 2020; @brabusmarine.com/

At the 2020 boot Dusseldorf boat show, Brabus Marine presents two versions of the new BRABUS Shadow 900 – the new flagship of the BRABUS Shadow boat range.

Packed with technical innovation and blistering performance at heart, the company presents the new BRABUS Shadow 900 Spyder, in full-open version, for pure, unadulterated driving pleasure and the new BRABUS Shadow 900 Sun-Top, the comfortable passage maker.

Luxuriously equipped and based on the revolutionary Axopar 37 hull, this series is available in the fully equipped Shadow 900 version and, to top it off, also in a very limited, exclusive “1 of 37” Black Op’s Launch collector’s edition, which traditionally accompanies the launch of a new BRABUS product.

The BRABUS Shadow 900 Black-Ops “1 of 37” is handcrafted and focuses on precision and workmanship. Fairing, painting and polishing the limited edition version to the desired quality is a very labor-intensive, artistic and tedious process that can take up to six weeks to achieve the desired finish without automation.

BRABUS Shadow 900 collector’s edition: World premiere at boot 2020; @brabusmarine.com/

All Limited-Edition models are exclusively delivered in the unmistakable “Gunmetal Grey” paint scheme, in combination with the bright red BRABUS seating – a very striking combination. Owners can now expect even more power than before as Mercury Marine’s latest 450R Verado XL 4.6-litre V8 four-stroke engines reaches over 60 knots, hence the name Shadow 900. These ‘beefy’ new powerhouses in dual rig configuration offer improved performance and the best driveability in their class.

Never been seen before technical and concept innovations – too numerous to list them all here – include, for example, Gullwing doors, that completely transforms the front cabin accommodation, giving this previously under-used space, a fresh sense of space & light that no other performance-orientated sports-weekender or high-power RIB could ever come close to.

Take pleasure in customizing your boat by selecting one of two available gelcoat colours or the new ultra-cool camouflage wrap option for your Shadow 900, and let your boat truly express your personality. Choose from our modern and contemporary gelcoat colours; Platinum Grey or White Grey, and finish your customization by selecting one of the two available seat fabric/sunpad cushion colours; BRABUS Red or BRABUS Cappuccino.

The high-end boat is also introducing an all-new, ergonomic helm, with full glass bridge infotainment / chart plotter based upon two standard 12-inch screens. Another highlights are the newly developed multifunction steering wheel with finger-tip control, extra-grippy new seat design and improved forward and overall visibility, whether standing or seated.

THE PERFECT TENDER OR CHASE BOAT

Built to the kind of quality-standard that every BRABUS Shadow 900 represents, these boats are perfectly at home in the company of the world’s finest superyachts. As such, with versatile storage and people-carrying capability, a Shadow 900 is easily one of the world’s best luxury tenders or chase boats.

Length over all: 11,73 m.
