The highly stylized Invictus TT460 flagship, made in Borgia, Italy, will make its U.S. debut at the Miami boat show, starting February 16, along with a smaller outboard-powered GT280S.
Invictus Yacht started just six years ago, with another 28, and has grown rapidly in the European market, largely because of the boats’ unique lines and the company’s semi-custom approach where owners can choose among a variety of upholstery, colors, decks and, in the case of the TT460, the interior arrangements. All Invictus Yachts are designed by Christian Grande, who has won a lot of international awards for his innovative thinking.
The TT460 is powered by twin 480-hp Volvo IPS650 pod drives, producing a top speed of about 35 knots. But the TT460 is designed as a social animal, capable of holding 14 people in a variety of inviting lounges and settees from stem to stern. And two platforms that fold out from the bulwarks aft create even more space for sunning or enjoying water sports.
The new flagship has the yard’s signature “half reverse” bow and a futuristic sweeping carbon-fiber hardtop that protects a three-seat helm deck. A large sun lounge with a fixed seat is on the foredeck, and an even larger one is in the cockpit, over the tender garage.
Below, an owner can customize the accommodations layout, choosing from an open plan to a two-stateroom with private partitions plan. In the open plan, the master stateroom is full-beam amidships with two beds that can be arranged together. A large settee is forward as part of a large social area.
In the two-stateroom plan, the forward area becomes the master stateroom, with a queen bed and a partition for privacy, while the midships cabin can be used for guests or family. The boat has one head.
