If you entertain guests, they'll not trip over each other in the cavernous cockpit: if they in turn enjoy sunbathing, lounging, chatting and listening to music - all the things you should do on a boat - there is copious space in which to do so.
From the oversized bathing platform, to the flared guardrails and the king size sunpad at the bow, and the generously proportioned engine room; the emphasis during the design process was obvioulsy to maximise useable space - and it works.
Sliding back the heavy glass door that provides access and light below, I stepped down into the welcome air conditioned environment of the salon.
The ‘open plan' theme continues here, with bench seating and an equally solid foldaway table to starboard, a well appointed galley to port and access to the day head that doubles as an en-suite for the master cabin. Light oatmeal fabrics, a darkwood sole and the understated use of chrome completes the contemporary interior.
Light wood cabinet doors that contrast with the sole are heavily hinged, ensuring no rattles whilst underway and conceal appliances that are practical enough to allow self-catered cruises of extended duration.
In addition to the two ring hob, microwave and separate stainless steel Frigoboat fridge and freezer units, the Atlantis 50 also neatly sports secure stowage for crockery and glasswear in cupboards with specially designed receptacles.
As is traditional in craft of this class, the guest accomodation is aft, with the bow reserved for the VIP cabin. With a twin cabin to starboard, the larger master cabin sits to port and is afforded fantastic headroom by the designers opting to replace the usual bench above with a huge sunpad.
Atlantis Hotel Resort
The Atlantis Hotel, has already become another landmark in Dubai for residents and boaters alike. With a commanding position on the Palm Jumeirah's breakwater, the resort boasts 1,539 guest rooms, 16 restaurants, a waterpark and conferencing facilities.
Given the resort's name, it obviously follows an aquatic theme and its aquarium that is fast becoming the talk of the town. Home to 65,000 marine animals, the Ambassador Lagoon is one of the largest of its type in the world and if you want a really unique view of it, then book one of the two Ambassador suites.
Aquaventure, the resort's waterpark also boasts some unique experiences with one ride passing through a tube in a shark tank!
