Timeless Elegance
The yacht’s was extensively transformed during 2020-21, externally the rebuild refined the sleek Amels hull designed by Tim Heywood, maintaining graceful proportions while integrating new features. A six-metre extension created sweeping new deck spaces, including a helipad on the sun deck aft suitable for a Bell 429 or Airbus H145, in addition to a touch-and-go foredeck helipad. Each level’s aft decks feature glass windbreaks to preserve openness while offering shelter. On the main deck aft, a striking 7x4-metre counter-current pool sits flush with the deck, designed to maximise views with lowered bulwarks and glass handrails. The beach club was reconfigured into a 15x8-metre waterside retreat with fold-down sea terraces, a sit-up bar, lounge seating, and an enlarged swim platform complete with hydraulic steps. Above, a raised jacuzzi is positioned on the sun deck alongside a wet bar, shaded gym area, and expansive sunpads. There's also a full-beam garage with shell doors housing two Yachtwerft Meyer limousine tenders, a Super Air Nautique G23, and a full complement of toys including SeaDoos, SeaBobs, an inflatable marina, and a waterslide.

Within, the interior was crafted by Winch Design, retaining a balance of elegance and practicality. The owner’s deck is a private sanctuary: a forward master suite with wrap‑around views, his & hers bathrooms and dressing rooms, a lounge, and study; multiple balconies and walkaround access to sidedecks enhance the sense of openness. The saloon spans the main deck with bar and dining areas opening to aft terraces. Below, guest accommodations include ten cabins. Two VIP suites on the bridge deck boast 12 m balconies. On the main deck, four guest cabins can combine to form two larger suites with sitting areas and dual bathrooms. Public amenities include a cinema, gym, wellness centre with sauna, steam room and plunge pool, beauty/massage room, and direct access to the beach club.
