The sale of this Amels 180 continues the collaboration between the broker and the yard, whose  six yachts together include the previous 180s Astra and Apollo, the 171 Bel Abri and the striking 199 Event. Imperial will continue as owner’s representative and build supervisor throughout the construction. The completion is scheduled for spring 2017. “The yacht’s timeless exteriors from Tim Heywood and the finesse of interiors from Laura Sessa will enhance the natural beauty of this remarkable motor yacht,” Imperial says.

The renderings for this latest Amels 180 show darkened window areas on the main and bridge decks, which give the yacht a distinctive flavour. The interior and on-deck spaces look just as generous as her sisterships. The hugely successful Limited Editions range from Amels, which now runs from the 180 to the 83-metre 272, all feature Tim Heywood’s exterior styling, and come with the benefit of a reduced build time.
