CLOUD ATLAS

CLOUD ATLAS is a 46-metre semi-displacement aluminium motor yacht originally built by Lloyds Ships in 1990 and extensively refitted in 2021. She carries exterior lines by Phil Curran Design and an interior by Karim Hakin, and her Portuguese registration reflects a vessel with a long-standing operational history. At 8.50 metres in the beam with a 2.87-metre draft and a gross tonnage of 373, she accommodates up to 12 guests in 5 cabins attended by a crew of 9. Twin Caterpillar engines drive her at 12 knots cruising with a range of 3,000 nautical miles — a genuine passage-making capability that her age belies.

CLOUD ATLAS is best suited for experienced charter clients who understand the difference between a well-refitted classic and a newbuild, and who value the design intent and spatial character that a larger-hulled vessel of her era can offer. She is a sound choice for groups exploring the Western Mediterranean — the Amalfi Coast, Sardinia, Corsica, the French Riviera — who want volume and range without requiring the contemporary fit-out of a vessel built in the last decade. She is not ideal for guests who expect new-vessel material finishes throughout, or for those whose priority is maximum speed.

Her 2021 refit represents a substantive investment in a vessel that was already generous in volume. The amenity list includes a beach club, gym, deck jacuzzi, at-anchor and underway stabilisers, and a sun deck with sunpads — all features that reward guests who spend extended time at anchor. The aluminium hull, a practical choice for a vessel of her vintage that prioritises weight efficiency and corrosion resistance, contributes to her seakeeping at displacement speeds.

The water toys offering is active: dual jet-skis, two Seabobs, an inflatable kayak, a stand-up paddleboard, a wakeboard, water skis, and a variety of towable inflatables. CLOUD ATLAS combines passage-making range, a beach club, and a full toys complement in a hull that has been deliberately modernised without losing the proportions that originally defined her.

The provisional rating is based on available public data, reflecting acceptable standards across safety documentation, maintenance records, and operational protocols.
