Ares Yachts, part of Ares Shipyard based in Antalya, Turkey, has revealed details of its new 54-metre explorer superyacht concept, Atlas. The yacht is designed to remain under the 500-GT threshold, with features to enhance the experience for both owners and guests. Atlas includes options for hybrid propulsion and other sustainable solutions.

The exterior design, developed by the Italian design studio Hot Lab, combines contemporary styling with efficient naval architecture by Van Oossanen Naval Architects in the Netherlands. “Atlas‘s unique features deliver something which is both strikingly styled and strikingly practical for owners and guests,” says Piraye Şahinkaya Orhun, managing director of Ares Yachts. “With her long-range capability and her seaworthy design, she is sure to deliver extraordinary experiences.”

“We have always believed that each project should bring with it some small inventions: this is what we call ‘incremental innovation,’” adds Antonio Romano, business director and co-founder of Hot Lab and commercial director of the Viken Group.
