Established in 2008 and based in Naples, Italy, Columbus Yachts is the luxury brand of the Palumbo Group — one of Europe’s most advanced shipbuilders. The yard quickly made a name for itself with its hybrid propulsion technologies, environmentally friendly practices, and collaboration with top designers like Hydro Tec and Luca Dini.

Columbus builds semi-custom and full-custom yachts ranging from 30 meters to over 80 meters, with distinctive Italian flair and technical innovation as their foundation.

Each Columbus yacht is a showcase of modern technology, sustainable thinking, and stylish design. Standout features include:

• Hybrid or full-diesel propulsion systems

• Lightweight aluminum or steel/aluminum construction

• Fuel efficiency and low emissions

• Fast displacement hulls (FDHF) for stability and speed

• Expansive indoor-outdoor spaces

• Custom interiors with world-class finishes

Columbus Yachts is also committed to building yachts under RINA “Green Plus” certifications, ensuring lower environmental impact for eco-minded owners.

Columbus builds several lines of yachts, each designed for a specific style of ownership — from family cruising to charter-ready megayachts.
