SYNTHESIS
Silhouette and Seascape
Amels 242 Synthesis is a striking 74-metre yacht from the prestigious Amels Limited Editions range, blending contemporary elegance with proven Dutch craftsmanship. Delivered in 2021 and nominated for the 2022 BOAT Design & Innovation Awards, she offers exceptional volume with a 12.45-metre beam and approximately 1,790 GT. Her steel hull and displacement design provide a smooth, confident ride, while twin Caterpillar 3516 engines deliver a cruising speed of 14 knots and a top speed of 16.5 knots. Meticulously maintained and continually upgraded, Synthesis is operated by a highly experienced rotational crew led by an accomplished fleet captain. Supported by a leading Dutch maintenance and refit supervisor, she recently completed an extensive six-month refit at the Amels yard in Vlissingen, Netherlands, in April 2026, ensuring impeccable condition for global cruising.
Timeless Tim Heywood Styling, Paired With An Effortless Connection To The Sea
Tim Heywood’s exterior for SYNTHESIS is all about poise, proportion and presence at sea, with long, fluid lines that frame vast terraces and glass. A sweeping aft deck centers on a striking pool surrounded by generous sunpads and lounges, creating a resort-style waterfront that flows effortlessly from interior to ocean. Above, the sun deck becomes an intimate club in the sky, with a Jacuzzi, open-air gym options and flexible lounging for sunrise workouts or sunset cocktails. The bridge deck, arranged for relaxed pre-dinner drinks and open-air cinema nights, extends the dedicated Owner’s Deck with its private foredeck Jacuzzi, panoramic views and discreet connection to the tenders and toys below, ensuring every anchorage becomes a private estate.
Contemporary Winch Design Interiors With A Full Wellness Retreat
Winch Design’s interiors for SYNTHESIS evoke a refined beach house sanctuary, where pale timbers, soft textiles and curated art meet sweeping sea views. An extensive wellness spa on the lower deck forms a private retreat, complete with plunge pool, sauna, hammam, massage room, juice bar and direct access to the sea, turning every day on board into a tailored reset. A sculptural feature staircase and foyer with elevator connect multiple salons and dining areas, each arranged for effortless entertaining rather than formal convention. Open-flow lounges dissolve into aft terraces, reinforcing the yacht’s constant dialogue between inside and out. Innovative dining and social layouts across the decks allow hosts to orchestrate anything from intimate family lunches to grand, multi-level parties with instinctive ease.
