A Clear Beauty: On Board The 47M Hot Lab-Designed Acqua Chiara

Milan-based studio Hot Lab, part of the Viken Group, has revealed its latest, truly spectacular superyacht project: the 47-metre Columbus Yachts’ Acqua Chiara. Delivered to an Italian entrepreneur in 2025, the superyacht was originally based on a 43-metre platform before being lengthened under her owner’s direction to achieve more elegant proportions and a heightened onboard balance.
 
A head-turning vessel on the water, Acqua Chiara follows the unmistakable design pattern of her predecessors in the Atlantique line, despite her four additional metres in length, and still fits comfortably within a 499 GT envelope.
 
With exterior lines by Hot Lab and naval architecture penned by Columbus Yachts, the stern lines are a defining feature of the vessel, whose identity, like all of those in the Atlantique range, is drawn from a sailing-inspired design philosophy. The aft spaces are arranged across three closely connected levels in a design which prioritises onboard liveability, whilst maintaining a strong connection with the sea.
 
Travelling from bow to stern, Acqua Chiara features an elegant covered dining area, a central lounge with a pool and fold-down balconies, and a flexible platform complete with a transformer, which is positioned just 50 centimetres above the waterline.
