Columbus Atlantique 43 Video Review: Marble, a Sauna and Two Jacuzzis
By the YachtWay editorial deskUpdated October 2026Video walkthrough6 min read
The Columbus Atlantique 43 is a 43 m Italian superyacht with a steel hull and an aluminium superstructure, which keeps her at about 462 gross tons. We took a quick tour of one in Cannes. She has a main deck owner's suite with a sauna, a VIP cabin and twin cabins below, and a 12-seat marble dining room on the upper deck. There is a Jacuzzi on the aft deck, another at the bow, and a sun deck with a bar and a teppanyaki grill.
A 43 m yacht that feels like a 50 m
The wide beam and the curved, symmetrical lines make the inside feel wider than some 50 m yachts we have seen. Teak gives way to oak floors laid at 45 degrees, and marble runs through every deck. The owner asked that it never feel heavy, and it does not. Linen, metal and wood panels with LED lighting give the interior a bright, modern look.

Up top, two tables for 12 and a teppanyaki grill make her a great boat for entertaining. With a quoted range of over 4,000 nm, she can cross oceans. This was a quick tour, so we did not see every space on board.
