After its world premiere at boot Dusseldorf and its U.S. debut at the Miami Boat Show 2024, the new Invictus TT420S will also be featured at the upcoming Palm Beach International Boat Show (March 21-24). This is the outboard version of one of the Italian brand's most successful models, and the interest received immediately in Miami confirms the appreciation Invictus Yacht continues to gain in the United States. In fact, just two years after its debut on the American market, a few dozen units have already been sold.
Also part of Invictus' growth path in the U.S. is the choice to work with Iconic Yacht Group, which has been the official dealer on the American territory for a few months: a company deeply rooted in the U.S. yachting universe and which will therefore represent Invictus at PBIBS 2024 (Booth IW 923-IW 926).
"We face the Palm Beach International Boat Show," explains Christian Grande, "with this TT420S equipped with three 450 HP Yamaha outboard thrusters. This is a boat that makes sportiness one of its hallmarks and for this very reason it is particularly suited to the American market, which prefers this type of outboard motorization."
The engine room, which in the TT420 version was occupied by the inboard thrusters, in the TT420S has been converted into a large and practical storage area for toys. What remains unchanged, however, is a rare feature to be found on this category of boats, such as the actual garage capable of accommodating a 2.10-meter tender.
The taut essential lines of this 42-footer, designed by Christian Grande, are distinctive of Invictus hulls, combining style and attention to performance. The profile of Invictus TT420S, incorporating the stylistic features of its older sister TT460 (winner of the Design Innovation Award in 2020), is characterised by the elegant features of the windshield, which blend seamlessly into the carbon hardtop and further streamline the powerful mass of this model. The integral glass windshield with wipers, in particular, represents an unusual solution on this size of boat and protects during navigation. At the same time, a front opening system ensures effective air circulation when at anchor.
"The Invictus TT420S belongs to the category of luxury tenders," continues Christian Grande, "boats that are often used as chase boats, but at the same time are the perfect example of the concept of luxury because of the meticulous attention to detail, a hallmark of the Invictus brand."
The deck, characterised along its entire length by a comfortable perimeter walkway protected by high bulwarks, has a large bow sundeck that can be converted into a chaise longue, transforming it into a romantic and enchanting corner - ideal for comfortably enjoying the cruise or sipping a quiet aperitif. Amidships, thanks to the folding tables, the spacious dinette can be converted into a large space for relaxation, sheltered by the hard top. At the same height, the sides can be equipped, optionally, with two collapsible side terraces, which increase the living space on board, but, above all, offer a perception of openness towards the outside that is best appreciated during lunch and when relaxing: a solution that breaks down the barrier dividing the boat from the surrounding environment.
Internally, Christian Grande has opted for an open space solution. Upon entering, the spacious living area is on full display, with U-shaped rotating sofas, which can surprisingly transform into a comfortable double bed. Aft is a cabin with separate beds. The generous bulwarks have made it possible to obtain remarkable internal heights, which have been used for a large bathroom with separate shower.
