U.S.-based Atlantic Yachts has contracted with Rolls-Royce’s Marine division to design and engineer a new line of superyachts dubbed the NVC 85 Y.

The 85-metre craft will be built by Germany’s Nobiskrug GmbH while Atlantic’s founder Paul Madden, formerly of Blohm + Voss will oversee the project.

“The German built version of the NVC 85 Y is all about design, technology, safety at sea, and comfort,” explains Madden.

“Rolls-Royce Marine’s design team in Norway has worked diligently with us to create a yachting platform without equal.”

Featuring a steel superstructure and hydrodynamically efficient hull the NVC 85 Ys will be capable of a maximum speed of about 20 knots and a cruising speed of 17 knots with a range of 8,000 nautical miles at cruising speed, with the aim of minimizing fuel consumption and environmental impact.

Accommodation for 12 passengers in six double cabins and 22 crew members will be the base configuration, while a helipad on the foredeck assures they will arrive in style.

While no price has yet been named, Killian Yacht & Ship Brokers will handle sales beginning with the first completed hull in 2012.
