Global‑cruising pedigree with timeless design.

WERE DREAMS is a 52.30 m (171′ 7″) tri‑deck motor yacht built in 2008 by Amels B.V. in the Netherlands, and styled by designer Tim Heywood. She is a limited‑edition Amels 171, offering raised volume, premium build quality and long‑range capability for true world cruising. Previously privately used, she has never been offered for charter and presents an exceptional opportunity to acquire a yacht of high pedigree with ocean‑crossing credentials. Her layout accommodates six cabins for up to 11 guests plus accommodation for 13 crew, allowing both luxury and discrete service.

Exterior design

Expansive decks ready for leisure and adventure.

WERE DREAMS features broad exterior spaces both fore and aft, including a redesigned sundeck that houses a Jacuzzi surrounded by generous sun‑pads, offering an elevated vantage point for relaxation and socialising. A beach club at water‑level enhances the sea‑access experience, and a forward tender garage under the main deck allows for launch of the owner’s tender with ease. With stabilisers that operate at zero‑speed, her exterior is designed so that being at anchor is as comfortable as underway.

Interior design

Luxurious living, crafted for comfort

The interior, styled by Laura Sessa, features light polished woods, contemporary decorative touches and full‑width owner’s accommodation on the main deck for an elevated private retreat. Guest cabins are en‑suite and carefully arranged to provide both privacy and a social flow. The combination of stylish finishes and well‑proportioned spaces makes the interior feel both elegant and practical for extended living aboard.
