Italy’s Columbus Yachts, a Palumbo Superyachts brand, has sold its first 42m Crossover to an American client. The yacht is currently under construction at Palumbo’s Savona shipyard and is due for delivery in 2025.

“Substantial investments have been made in our Savona shipyard which we regard as a strategic facility both in terms of geographical position and of infrastructure and services available to shipowners and their crews,” says Giuseppe Palumbo, CEO of Palumbo Superyachts. “In Savona, our strategy is to keep on with new ship construction, guarantee a strategic berth to our fleet boats and provide our certified skills for the maintenance and refit services of boats up to 60m.”

Hydro Tec studio is responsible for the exterior of the Columbus Crossover 42, while Hot Lab penned the interior design. The exterior lines come in a modern and muscular package, with a predominance of straight and angled surfaces and a concentration of volumes in the bow area, typical of explorers. The hull is displacement, with a bulbous bow and flat, tapered stern sections. The construction is in steel with aluminium superstructures.

The Crossover 42 is a superyacht with compact but flexible dimensions, allowing the cockpit to accommodate not only a large tender with a stern built-in crane in the starboard side, but also a 10m² swimming pool with relaxation areas. It can accommodate up to 12 guests across four cabins positioned below deck (three VIP and one double with twin beds) and a full-beam master cabin on the main deck.

A crew of nine is accommodated across four double cabins below deck while the captain cabin is on the upper deck next to the wheelhouse.

The propulsion system includes two Caterpillar C 32s of 970kW each for a maximum speed of over 14kt and a cruising speed of 12kt. The range is over 5,500 miles at the economical speed of 10kt thanks to tanks of about 60m³ capacity.
