Delivered in May 2000, Atmosphere is available for charter. This superb 53m three-deck Perini Navi motor sailer is a masterpiece, a vessel combining all the advantages of both sail and power - with accommodation comparable to that found on a motor yacht of her size as well as the grace and pleasure of being propelled by the wind. Her enormous ketch rig delivers around 15 knots in ideal sailing conditions, a performance also provided by her twin 1,257 hp Deutz diesels.

On deck are two delightful open-air guest areas, both in the shelter of the cockpit and above the saloons on the sun deck. When at anchor or under power there is also a third area on the foredeck where an awning can be rigged to provide shade. The tenders are stored below the foredeck, ensuring that they are clutter-free, whilst the yacht's impressive water toys are kept out of sight in the lazarette's water sports room. The sedate and elegant interior is exquisitely crafted using mellow cherrywood panelling and warm tones.
