Two New Amels Orders
Superyacht builder Amels has sold two luxury superyachts from the Limited Editions range, both of them orders for the Tim Heywood-designed Amels 177. Managing director Rob Luijendijk explains: “Already the Limited Editions philosophy was doing very well, but in these past three years of global economic downturn, it makes more sense than ever.”
“In such challenging times, the modern superyacht owner is looking for a yacht that will bring him great satisfaction and enjoyment, but which will also give him a good return on investment in the years to come.” The sales of the two were partially the result of a very successful Monaco Yacht Show for the yard. “Monaco was very good for us this year,” said Luijendijk. “We were pleased to note that there is a very positive ‘vibe’ around our brand. Our yard team is young and innovative, which is reflected in every detail of the yachts that we deliver, and the very good relationships that we enjoy with our new clients and repeat clients. The high level of customisation we offer -in combination with the advantages of exceptionally high quality and short delivery times -have been the driving elements behind our recent sales.”
Both new Amels 177s are to have their interiors styled by Laura Sessa from Italy, although she has been commissioned to produce very distinct and individual styles for each yacht. Currently there are twelve projects under way.
