As the first hull in the Atlante Classic 35 series, Cabana is the result of an international collaboration between Türkiye’s Mengi Yay shipyard and an all-Italian design and engineering team. Naval architecture comes from Arrabito Naval Architects, while the yacht’s clean exterior lines and relaxed, contemporary interior are by Paolo Dose of VYD Studio in Trieste.
The explorer yacht was managed by Fatih Dalkıran of Antalyachts, and commissioned through broker Mark Seaton of YACHT on behalf of an experienced client who was closely involved throughout the build.
Evolving the Concept: From 33m Design to 330GT Explorer
The Atlante Classic 35 was initially conceived as a 33-meter under-300GT concept, but Cabana evolved during development into a larger-volume long-range explorer. She now comes in at 34.5 meters with a gross tonnage of 330GT, optimized for space and function across three decks.
VYD Studio describes the proportions of the superyacht as achieving “a perfect equilibrium” between accommodation, outdoor living areas, and technical spaces, delivering volume usually only seen on longer vessels. The sundeck is a particular focal point, featuring fixed sunpads, a U-shaped dining area, and a dry bar under a hardtop. Other key leisure spaces include the beach club with an unfolding transom and expansive storage for tenders and toys, allowing easy access to the water.
Light, Open and Tailored: Cabana’s Interior Style
The interior of Cabana reflects a soft, contemporary Mediterranean style, with floor-to-ceiling windows, pale wood finishes, and a calming palette of light blues and greys. The design makes full use of natural light and was developed in close collaboration with the owners, who selected high-end Italian furnishings and materials.
Accommodation on board the motor yacht is arranged across five ensuite staterooms for up to 10 guests. The layout prioritizes privacy and space while maintaining direct access to outdoor areas from key communal zones.
Expedition-Ready Performance
Constructed with a steel hull and aluminum superstructure, Cabana is designed for long-range, efficient cruising. Powered by twin Volvo Penta engines, she reaches a cruising speed of 11 knots and a top speed of 14.5 knots.
Her range exceeds 4,000 nautical miles, making her well-suited to extended Mediterranean cruising. The engines are also IMO Tier III compliant, aligning with the latest emissions standards.
