This 1973 Cantieri di Pisa Atlas is a 55-foot wooden motor yacht powered by twin Caterpillar diesel engines rated at 700 horsepower each. Built to traditional standards by the respected Italian yard, the boat combines classic proportions—a 16.6-foot beam and moderate draft—with the substantial displacement characteristic of this era's cruising motor yachts.
The interior accommodates four cabins including an owner's suite and two guest cabins, plus a crew cabin, with three heads. The main saloon benefits from an open layout created by removing internal divisions, complemented by newly finished white and taupe cabinetry, updated galley appliances, and restored joinery throughout. Corridors and cabin spaces feature new cabinetry, updated lighting arrangements, and freshly refinished surfaces. The flybridge includes structural repairs to the deck and updated furnishings.
This yacht has undergone extensive restoration and mechanical refitting. The hull has been treated with epoxy systems and antifouling; submerged topsides and stern areas were rebuilt in certified marine plywood with epoxy resin. Both main engines and generators have received complete overhauls including new cooling lines, fuel systems, and exhaust components. The transmission system—propeller shafts, bearings, and mechanical seals—has been fully serviced. Fresh water, waste water, and fuel systems have been completely renewed with new tanks, pumps, and plumbing throughout. Additional work includes a new hydraulic stern platform, fire suppression in the engine room, and comprehensive soundproofing. New teak decking, railings, and exterior hardware have been installed or restored to specification.
