The three-masted schooner ATLANTIC offers you the opportunity to step back into a bygone era without giving up luxuries one expects onboard modern superyacht charters. Her hull lines are a faithful reproduction (almost religious in fact – taking two and a half years to gather the information needed) of the 1903 yacht that held the monohull transatlantic crossing record for almost a century, and while the original ATLANTIC is sadly no more, this beautiful 2010 recreation that measures 69.2m (227ft) from bowsprit to boom, is more than worthy of the great yacht’s name.

About ATLANTIC

Description

The three-masted schooner ATLANTIC offers you the opportunity to step back into a bygone era without giving up luxuries one expects onboard modern superyacht charters. Her hull lines are a faithful reproduction (almost religious in fact – taking two and a half years to gather the information needed) of the 1903 yacht that held the monohull transatlantic crossing record for almost a century, and while the original ATLANTIC is sadly no more, this beautiful 2010 recreation that measures 69.2m (227ft) from bowsprit to boom, is more than worthy of the great yacht’s name.


View all yachts for charter

She is beautiful, both inside and out, and you and your guests will be treated to an unforgettable sailing holiday on this, the most gracious of modern classic schooners. Wherever you go, you’ll be sure to stand out against a harbour of modern motor yachts for all the right reasons. She has a vast 56.4m (185ft) long deck that is perfect for entertaining and al fresco dining, while skylights along the deck allow natural light and fresh air to flood the interior. Aft of the deckhouse is a large and comfortable guest cockpit, everywhere you look on deck and below are carefully thought-out period details that add to ATLANTIC’s enchanting allure.

Below decks is accessed via the deckhouse, as soon as you’re inside you’ll notice the stand-out details; swathes of carefully crafted mahogany and white-painted panelling above and overhead. This keeps her light with a wonderful feel. Her rich deep-red upholstery compliments her definitive design to give her the traditional feel of a classic yacht. At the base of the steps from the deckhouse is the master suite. It has a private lounge area with a built-in sofa, table and armchairs. In total ATLANTIC can accommodate 12 guests in six stunning suites (one double master suite, two double-berth suits and three twin-berth suites) and everyone will be looked after by ATLANTIC’s complement of 12 crew. The master suite is to port and two guest suites are to starboard. Forward is the main saloon and formal dining area for 12 guests. There are two more guest suites forward and a double aft of the deckhouse.

It’s no exaggeration to say that few yachts in the world have the on-the-water presence of ATLANTIC. Under sail, she carries the equivalent of six and a half tennis courts of canvas, almost two and a half times the sail area of a J-Class yacht. She is truly a stunning yacht to look at and sail.
