Daniela De Marco, Fraser’s head of charter management in Europe, says only three Columbus motoryachts are available for charter in the world today, with Anjelif being the newest. This bronze beauty was delivered in 2024 to a first-time owner who had definite ideas about how to make a charter yacht stand out.
“The owner is an experienced charterer from the past, so she implemented everything that she experienced and that she thought could be improved from her experiences when chartering boats,” De Marco says. “She was very much part of the design of the yacht.”
One example is the flexibility in how spaces can be used. The helipad on the bow is only for the owner’s use, De Marco says, “but it converts to a dance floor or an outdoor cinema. At night, this area becomes amazing, really.” By day, that same space can be used for yoga or other exercise, she adds: “Actually, we have a member of the crew who was a yoga instructor before coming aboard Anjelif.”
Inside, too, the owner aimed for a multipurpose experience. “What you normally wouldn’t find on a yacht this size is that there is a gym and a massage room on the main deck going toward the master suite,” De Marco says. “The massage room is to starboard, and the gym is to port. And the master suite is very special. It has a balcony, a walk-through dressing room and then also a study. There is also an en suite with a Jacuzzi, an infrared sauna—it’s really an outstanding space.”
Belowdecks, the four guest staterooms can be arranged in various ways, including with an apartment-style space for a family with kids.
And speaking of kids, a portion of proceeds go to the owner’s charity, which supports children all around the world.
Fully Custom, All Aluminum
When Columbus Yachts launched Anjelif in 2024, the shipyard said the model was “packed with technical and stylistic innovations.” They include hybrid diesel-electric propulsion, and the application of cold plasma to sanitize air coming from outside for use in ventilation and air conditioning. The goal is to eliminate airborne viruses and bacteria in the airstream.
