Columbus Crossover 40: Are you ready for the next voyage?
The Columbus 40 Crossover is the smallest model in the yard's Crossover range, designed by Sergio Cutolo from Hydro Tec, which also includes a 50-metre and a 57-metre.

The Sun Deck is intended for social life and is characterised by a sunbathing area, towards the stern, and an area for observation with a sofa facing the bow.
In the middle, covered by the hard top, we find the outdoor dining / cocktail area, with a large bar on the straight side and a dining table on the left. The hard-top houses a characteristic "crow's nest" from which you can enjoy a 360-degree view.
This model was born from the need to accommodate, even on yachts of fairly compact size, tenders of a size comparable to those of much larger yachts and, at the same time, to adapt to a new lifestyle that makes the boat a private island on which concentrate all the activities of the holiday. The 40 Crossover, for example, can accommodate tenders up to 8 metres in length and 2.5 tons in weight on deck, as well as a whole series of “toys” that are normally supplied to yachts of this type.
The two socialising areas, the deck saloon and the sky lounge, are characterised in such a way as to become, respectively, the main saloon and the formal lunch / dinner area. In particular, the dining room located on the upper deck develops full width and opens to the side, creating a cantilevered loggia over the ocean. The owner's suite is traditionally arranged towards the bow, on the main deck, while the four guest cabins are located below deck in the central area of the hull.
About Columbus Yachts
Palumbo Superyachts began to take root in 2008, when the Columbus Yachts brand was established, and in 2011 launched its first 54 metre superyacht, emblematically christened “Prima” (“the First”). In early 2019, the shipyard launched the new flagship Columbus Classic 80 metre M/Y Dragon which joins in the Columbus star-studded fleet with the award-winning Sport Hybrid 40 M/Y Divine, the 57 metre M/Y Taiba and the 40 metre M/Y Eleonora III.
