Tom Perkins 37m Classic Yacht 'Atlantide' For Sale

Atlantide, Tom Perkins beautiful Gentlemen's yacht has just been listed for sale with yacht brokerage Freedom Marine for €5,000,000m. She is steeped in history, with owner and crew that kept her in pristine condition over the years, she is arguably the best yacht in the 30-40m range on the market today.

She was launched in 1930 by Philip and Sons in Dartmouth, UK. She measures 37m (122ft) in length and was originally designed by the famous English naval architect Alfred Mylne (the designer of the original Royal Yacht Britannia) for Sir William Burton. Burton was a distinguished yachtsman, who was helmsman of the J-Class yacht Shamrock IV. In 1939 Atlantide was requisitioned into the Royal Navy and in 1940 she joined the fleet of little ships to evacuate the allied forces from Dunkirk harbor and surrounding beaches. She set out for Dunkirk on May 31st and upon reaching Dunkirk she operated under intense enemy shell fire and dive bomber attacks over seven days during which she assisted various vessels.

Tom Perkins bought Atlantide in 1998 and put her through a complete rebuild. Her hull was reconstructed at the Manoel Island Shipyard of Malta and the new superstructure and interior was restored and fitted out by Camper and Nicholson in the UK. Ken Freivokh Design took the job of bringing her external and art deco interior design back to life (that can be clearly seen in the below image).

She can accommodate 6 guests in 2 double en suite cabins and a full beam owners stateroom aft on the lower deck. There is also crew accommodation for up to 6 forward on the lower deck. She has a maximum speed of 12kts and a range of 3,250nm at a speed of 10kts. Hopefully she will be able cruise the Norwegian fjords, West Canadian coast and the tropical Islands of the Caribbean with a new owner very soon.

Dixon and Freivokh Combine in "Mantis 80m" Design

Two of the worlds top yacht designers have combined on this project of the Mantis 80m, a spectacular Superyacht of stunning design with an overall length of 82.5m (270ft). Dixon Yacht Design are responsible for the naval architecture and the exterior design and Ken Freivokh and his team took on the task of designing the interior for this project. The great collaboration of these two design studios to produce this design is evident throughout the pictures.

The original concept, which has been registered by Dixon Yacht Design, was to design a flybridge performance Superyacht with the flybridge deck integrated into the hull line. The result is this very stylish yacht with wonderful clean and smooth lines, which not only looks exceptional, but will be extremely comfortable to live on and deliver outstanding performance.


The interior design by Ken Freivokh perfectly complements the exterior, with continuity of lines and the integration of spaces. The custom built interior will be lightweight, so as to have no effect on her performance while sailing in Superyacht regattas or just cruising. She will have 6 staterooms, with the owners master cabin spanning the full beam of the yacht with fold out balconies either side. She will be able to accommodate up to 12 guests and will have a crew of 16.

Exclusive: Ken Freivokh New Designs "Fortissimo" & "Ghost "

Two new designs to come from the renowned designer Ken Freivokh and his team are the 145m Fortissimo and the slightly smaller 144m Ghost. These yacht designs are at the top level of innovative and modern design and are sure to be a major hit in the Superyacht world.

Fortissimo 145m


Fortissimo is a 145m gas turbine yacht designed specially for Fincantieri Yachts in Italy. She is a superyacht designed with total flexibility in mind. The design concept also acknowledges the tremendous power of the turbine installation, and integrates the turbine as an integral part of the total design. She has a generous amount of space and living area for such a sleek yacht, Whilst the owners can enjoy getting to their destination at a top speed in excess of 35kts. Quite an astonishing speed for a yacht of this size.

The yacht features 7 deck which include a sun deck, a high visibility and operational deck, a private owners deck, an entertainment deck with terraces both forward and aft, a guest deck with further terracing, a crew deck and a utility deck. The aft decks are particularly interesting with a see through swimming pool and jacuzzi with the glass walls forming an open feature within the main deck gym and bar.


Fortissimo will be able to accommodate up to 16 guests in 8 guest suites and will have a crew of 48 to accommodate their needs.



Ghost 144m


Ghost is a 144m sleek innovative creation and Ken's approach may be seen as stimulating unpredictability with controlled chaos yet it is totally functional. The Ghost concept similar to that of Fortissimo is one of total flexibility, where a rigid spaceframe system takes care of the torsional rigidity, and allows for large span openings. These large openings can accommodate the likes of a 50ft sportfisher tender, which on most yachts could only be a run-alongside tender or deck tender.

Ghost also boasts a number of unique features such as underwater viewing, sliding helipad platforms, opening skylights, a glass sided swimming pool, a gym, a massive atrium around one of the main structures with balconies and flying bridges linking the various spaces.

These two yachts have been designed to fit in with the forward moving world of today and will stay modern and new throughout their life on the worlds Oceans.
