The Amels 242 is a superyacht from Dutch builder Amels. This multi-award winning displacement yacht is constructed from steel and can deliver speeds in excess of 16 knots.

The 242 takes owner space and options to a whole new level, that level being the owner’s deck. Gone is an owner’s suite on the 242, the owner now has a dedicated 240 square meters of luxurious space and privacy to themselves, with a 180° panoramic view forward.

About

It’s not just the owner who benefits from the extra space, their guests do too. There are two large VIP suites on the main deck while at the aft end of the main deck is a 180m2 aft deck-cum-party area with dance floor, bar and 6.5m infinity pool.

Around both the main deck and owners deck the 242 has full-height windows to make the most of any view. Designer Tim Heywood has worked his magic on the lines, creating a timelessly elegant design with feature accents wrapping cleanly around the bridge deck. Closer to the water there’s a large beach deck aft and a fold-down sea terrace accessed from the lower deck.

From The Manufacturer

The AMELS 242 is the perfect size yacht. It's so large that you have your own dedicated Owners Deck, magnificent spaces and grand lobbies, but still able to reach the most charming ports and romantic small bays. You’ll not only stand out as the largest yacht there, but also as the yacht with the absolute top AMELS quality and finish.

The AMELS 242 is exceptionally manoeuvrable, comfortable and quiet. Our naval architecture has already been proven in global voyages covering thousands of miles. Plus, thanks to our Limited Editions approach to yacht building, we have total control of the production process and we deliver what we promise.
