Columbus Tomahawk 52m: what a prow!

Columbus Tomahawk 52m, developed with the experience in naval research of Insenaval, has been studied to ensure the best seaworthiness and stability in all weather conditions. The name “Tomahawk”, which recalls the battle-ax of Native Americans, gives the bow its peculiar shape: designed to ensure a favorable impact with the water, it recalls at the same time the strength and profile of this ancient weapon. The sharp lines of this explorer vessel match vast areas for guests. But Columbus 52m Tomahawk is an open concept, that can be developed in sizes from 40 to 100 meters: a full custom yacht able to answer to all the wishes of the owner on a single technical platform.

Columbus-Tomahawk-52-M_2 “The Columbus Tomahawk 52m was conceived as a yacht inside a ship – explains the designer Marco Casali. The master cabin (75 square meters) is located directly in the bow with front windows, and features a private terrace of 21 sqm with table, sun bed and a hot tub, all with 180-degree view and total privacy. The guest area on the lower deck is directly connected to the beach area with overlooking windows. The guests and the owner can directly reach the beach, the pool and the sea without crossing the halls. A dining room is located to bow, along with an American bar, and a movie theater / karaoke space. Even the crew area is larger than the common standards”.

The volumes are designed to accommodate a large beach area (200 square meters on three levels) and a garage for all types of water toys. The aft deck directly overlooks the sea, with the chance to accommodate up to two 12-meter tenders, four jet-skis and a submarine, or more jet skis that can be stowed in the garage below. A bow garage provides room for an additional tender and various water toys and gear. When completely clear, the area reveals a large swimming pool (6 × 2.5 m) with full-height and an ample space of 9×7 m. This area could be furnished with free standing tables, chairs and sofas, or it could be a big playground.

The crane of the tender is designed to hold a sunshade as well, to protect a large part of the beach area. Among the other features that make this project unique, there is the opportunity to host a MCA compatible heliport on the upper deck, with direct access to the main staircase, and a control bridge designed to offer a perfect visibility for mooring and navigation in any area.
