pool on the sundeck. The yacht carries a limo tender, a

RIB and personal watercraft.

At least a half-dozen spaces on the five guest decks

accommodate groups of six or more for dining, con-

versation and togetherness. The formal dining table

is within the main salon and can seat 16. The main

dining area for 24 is on the bridge deck aft; it can be

covered and enclosed by sliding windbreak glass pan-

els, and heated or air conditioned. (While the crew

areas and access generally are concealed throughout

the yacht, one exception is an open second galley with

a pass-through window in the bulkhead adjacent to the

bridge-deck dining area.)

Noteworthy gathering spots for smaller groups

include leather lounges for six in the wheelhouse and a

cinema on the main deck. The projection system has a

screen that retracts to reveal a TV for video games. For

Amels Un-limited Editions

Amels delivered its first Limited Editions, Deniki, in 2007. The range now includes six models from 180 feet (55 meters) to

272 feet (83 meters). As of this printing, the builder will have delivered 30 yachts in the range. The concept, while not unique

in large-yacht building, has found success, the company says, in combining the best of fully custom and semicustom, offer-

ing clients extensive options including their choice of interior designer. With pre-engineered hulls and mechanical systems,

the Limited Editions yachts let Amels offer quicker delivery times at lower costs than fully custom yachts.
