AMELS 199 superyacht is designed by UK’s Tim Heywood, with flexible interior styling by Italian designer Nuvolari Lenard.

At 1,045 gross tons, it offers an indoor/outdoor beach club and a touch-and-go helipad option.

Like prior Limited Editions models, the AMELS 171, 177, and 212 – the AMELS 199 can be delivered in significantly less time than a new one-off design. The prime reason is that the AMELS 199 is soon to come off the drawing board and into production.

The superyacht’s concept is enhanced by aesthetic and technical input from owners, crews, project managers, suppliers, brokers, Lloyd’s Register, Delft Technical University, MARIN, and AMELS’ highly regarded Continuous Improvement Program.

Tim Heywood gave the Limited Editions AMELS 199 a unique shape with gentle tumblehome, curved vertical stem, bridge-wing pods, arched deck supports, flared wings, round port lights, and vertical mullions.

Nuvolari Lenard created an interior that features strong use of wood, such as bleached stained oak, and has applied natural colors and warm materials. Lighting used in the interior enhances colors and volumes.

The yacht’s exterior features areas with convenient access to all luxury accommodations. AMELS’ naval architects have created a low-resistance underbody through Computational Fluid Dynamics and tank testing. It has ample volume, fine sea-keeping, high fuel efficiency and long range, and assures a 16.5-knot top speed. Two eight meter tenders, plus lots of water toys handled by overhead cranes, are stowed behind the forward topsides; the helipad is easily added atop the reinforced bridge.

The yacht has a 23-meter sun deck with protected dining aft and a Jacuzzi forward. The bridge deck has a lounge aft, and a private social area forward with Jacuzzi. There is direct access between the VIP/owners suite and the foredeck lounge, and between the three guest suites below, and the 35 square meter beach club and 29 square meter swim platform.

The yacht was engineered using 3D design to optimize all features. Noise and vibration are greatly reduced. Machinery, systems, and safety components have a higher degree of redundancy and reliability. Green features include low-power LED lighting; HUG filters to eliminate genset exhaust soot; genset energy output applied to heating fresh water; fully insulated glass, etc.

The yacht will be introduced at the Monaco Yacht Show, to be held from September 23-26 at Monte Carlo, Monaco.
