Heesen motor yacht ATINA launches following major refit

FDC Yachts has announced the launch of 47m (154ft) motor yacht ATINA following an extensive refit at facilities in Bodrum, Turkey.

Previously known as ELANDESS, the refit on the Heesen superyacht has taken eight months and takes the onboard experience in a notably different direction.

Boasting new paintwork, a modified exterior layout and upgraded interiors, motor yacht ATINA now showcases a captivating vision of bold colours, outstanding exterior facilities and enhanced performance thanks to system and engineering upgrades.

Overseen by Red Yacht Design, the current Owner made requests to completely overhaul the exteriors, with a main focal point on the sundeck. 

Requiring a 12-seater bar, extended pool and a barbeque area, large parties are set to be legendary onboard the superyacht, with ample space for entertaining and watching the latest sports from the new wet bar.

Further exterior adaptations also cover the tender garage, which has now been transformed into a beach club environment complete with gym equipment and media facilities.

Originally penned in collaboration with Omega Architects and built-in 2008, motor yacht ATINA's new Owner also expressed the desire to increase privacy for themselves and their guests, resulting in multiple adaptations to keep crew circulation away from guest social areas. 

A new windbreak has also been constructed to provide more shelter and privacy for guests enjoying the sundeck.
