Columbus Yachts, a brand of Palumbo Superyachts, is pleased to announce the launch of M/Y Anjelif, the new 50-metre full custom built entirely in aluminium.

A model tailored to the needs of her experienced owner and packed with technical and stylistic innovations like the hybrid, diesel-electric propulsion. Furthermore, this superyacht 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. The first guarantees the efficient elimination of airborne viruses and bacteria in the incoming airstream, while the second automates the sanitization of each internal area of the boat.

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, developed thanks to the consolidated experience of Palumbo Superyachts in this specific field, 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. A latest generation lithium battery pack is used as electricity back-up, avoiding any possibility of blackout during the transient phases.

Columbus Custom 50m will have its world premiere at the Monaco Yacht Show 2023.
