Columbus Yachts has announced that its Columbus 80m mega yacht has left the shipyard in Naples to join the completed aluminium superstructure in Ancona.

Columbus Yachts’s 80m mega yacht leaving the Naples shipyard

Due to the unique construction process the construction was split over 2 sites, the result of which is a swifter production time, reducing the overall process by 8 months without compromising on quality.

Before heading to Ancona, the hull contained a number of finished systems and areas, including piping, stabilizing fins, engines, generators, pumps and bow thruster, with the crew area nearing completion.

The Columbus 80m represents the first in a series of superyachts, with greater sizes expected to be produced in the coming years.
