As the first Columbus Crossover 42, Big Naan was built for an American owner seeking long-range capability within a 42-meter platform.
Inside the Columbus Crossover 42: Calm Tones and Sculptural Detailing
Hot Lab’s interior styling on Big Naan leans toward restrained sophistication, using natural light, soft fabrics, and metallic highlights to create balance across the guest areas. The main saloon of the superyacht, as seen in the video, opens directly onto the sea through sliding glass doors. Cream upholstery, taupe curtains, and dark accent walls introduce warmth while maintaining a minimalist feel.
A marble and mirrored bar acts as a focal point, pairing polished stone with woven metal textures and brushed steel details. Lighting design is clearly integral throughout, with recessed ceiling strips and pendant fixtures that shift tone from daylight to evening ambience. The adjoining dining area continues the sculptural theme, featuring a contemporary chandelier suspended above a table surrounded by soft, curved seating and framed by large windows that flood the space with natural light.
The main staircase inside the yacht is another highlight, captured dramatically in the video. Its illuminated treads and bronze-toned surrounds add a sculptural edge, tying in with the darker architectural elements of the interior. Across all levels, finishes alternate between satin metals, textured leathers, and oak-style flooring to achieve a soft, layered look.
The motor yacht accommodates up to 10 guests across five cabins, with the option to sleep 11 via a pullman. The full-beam owner’s suite occupies the forward section of the main deck, featuring a plush suede headboard, pendant lighting, and a neutral palette accented by bronze and marble detailing.
On the lower deck, three VIP suites and one convertible twin cabin echo the same material palette, with soft fabrics, geometric cushions, and integrated lighting that emphasizes depth and comfort. Crew accommodations for nine are located forward
Functional Form: Hydro Tec’s Exterior Vision
Designed by Hydro Tec, Big Naan carries the purposeful stance of an explorer yacht, defined by strong horizontal lines, a forward superstructure, and a robust hull form. The steel hull and aluminum superstructure sit on a full-displacement platform with a bulbous bow and flared stern sections, supporting a range of 5,500 nautical miles at 10 knots.
At the stern, a glass-sided 17-square-meter pool sits above a beach club that doubles as a gym. The new video captures this space from inside, showing the dramatic underwater view through the pool’s transparent wall - a feature that brings light and movement directly into the fitness area. The beach club’s clean white surfaces, teak flooring, and vertical slatted ceilings reinforce the yacht’s modern, architectural tone.
Above, the main deck extends aft into a large social area with loungers and a shaded lounge. The upper decks build on this theme with multiple outdoor spaces, including a sundeck equipped with a bar, convertible dining tables, and built-in sunpads. Wide walkaround decks lead forward to a Portuguese bridge with seating and storage for expedition gear, reflecting the vessel’s dual-purpose design.
Powered by twin Caterpillar C32 ACERT engines, Big Naan reaches a top speed of 14 knots and cruises comfortably at 12 knots. At her 10-knot economic speed, she achieves a transoceanic range of over 5,500 nautical miles, supported by 60,000 liters of fuel and advanced stabilization systems for comfort both underway and at anchor.
