K2

K2 is a 50-metre aluminium displacement yacht built in 2021 by Columbus Yachts to their Sport 50 MT model, registered in the Cayman Islands. Both exterior and interior were conceived by LUCA DINI Design and Architecture — a practice known for bold contemporary volumes and an approach that treats the yacht as an architectural object rather than a conventional vessel. At 499 gross tonnes, K2 sits just under the 500 GT threshold that defines additional regulatory requirements, a practical consideration for charter operators.

She accommodates up to 11 guests across five cabins with 11 crew — a crew-to-guest ratio of 1:1 that allows for highly attentive service. Her charter regions are focused on the Western Mediterranean: the French Riviera, Amalfi Coast, Corsica, Sardinia, Monaco, and Italy. Guests seeking broader Atlantic deployments or Eastern Mediterranean itineraries will find her operational focus does not extend there.

Columbus Yachts, operating within the Ferretti Group ecosystem, applies rigorous build standards to their explorer-influenced designs, and K2's 2021 delivery means she enters the charter market with relatively few years of operational wear. Her aluminium hull provides a favourable strength-to-weight ratio, and a cruising speed of 16 knots with a maximum of 21 knots places her meaningfully above the displacement norm for a vessel of her size — a practical advantage for guests with ambitious itineraries.

The onboard amenity set includes a deck jacuzzi, exterior bar, gym, beach club, hydraulic swim platform, underwater lights, and stabilisers both underway and at anchor. The water sport inventory features a SeaDoo jet-ski, two Seabobs, inflatable paddleboards, inflatable kayaks, a Jetsurf, water-skis, a floating pool, and towable toys. The beach club and hydraulic platform make K2 a charter yacht oriented firmly toward water access and active use.

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