COLUMBUS YACHTS HISTORY
Columbus Yachts began its journey in 1967 when Salvatore Palumbo bought a small steel workshop along the Mediterranean coast. What started as a modest family business grew over three generations into the Palumbo Group—one of the Mediterranean’s top shipbuilders. In 2008, the family made a bold move into luxury superyachts by creating the Columbus Yachts brand. Their first flagship—the 54-meter PRIMA—made a striking debut at the Monaco Yacht Show in 2011, quickly turning heads worldwide. Since then, Columbus Yachts has steadily built a reputation for crafting luxurious vessels, including forward-thinking hybrid models designed with the environment in mind. Rooted in strong family values like dedication and responsibility, Columbus continues to chase a single dream: raising the bar for what luxury yachting can be.

Columbus Yachts moves forward with the ambition to lead the global luxury yacht industry through innovation, craftsmanship and uncompromising excellence. It believes every vision born of the sea and imagination can be realised—enduring like its steel, bold like its design and refined like its yachts.

As owners seek cleaner propulsion and lower impact, Columbus responds with pioneering solutions.
