She set the tone for what would arguably become the most successful semi-custom superyacht fleet of all time by the same Dutch yard. Designer Tim Heywood is still the hand behind the iconic shape of the Amels Limited Editions ranges that today has grown to 272 feet in length over a decade later. Here Deniki is seen departing the port of Yalikavak in Bodrum, Turkey this week.

Deniki in Juneau, Alaska

Amels, a world leader in the Art of Yacht Building, is meeting global client demand by creating a new model in its highly successful Limited Editions program. The model is the 54.30-meter Limited Editions Amels 177. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/126869/image/large-5266ac3b8a2187247ac32c6f9e83d270.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/126869">Since Amels introduced Limited Editions in 2005, owners have taken full advantage of the concept’s inherent freedom for customizing. The Amels 171 proves this: The series includes a wide-body version, several Amels –inspired interiors by Rome-based architect Laura Sessa Romboli, and custom interiors by Nuvolari Lenard and Peter Heuvelmans. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/126870/image/large-1bf705aeb7350408d57dc179fe662474.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/126870">One client for an Amels 171 asked shipyard designers and engineers to find sufficient space for a touch-and-go helipad, an indoor/outdoor “beach club” with steam bath, shower, day toilet, changing area, entertainment center, a longer aftdeck area, and a larger lazarette for stowing watersports gear. This required a hull extension to about 177 feet, with no change in beam. The changed aesthetics and greater amenities of Tim Heywood’s original shaping led to our offering the Limited Editions Amels 177 as a distinct new model. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/126871/image/large-66f77b379b8d3f1d023588408282e6de.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/126871">The Limited Editions Amels 177 has fundamentally the same accommodations arrangement as her predecessor. The model includes other important features such as a larger transom door to ease water-toy handling, as well as Amels –pioneered zero-speed stabilization and environmentally friendly genset exhaust soot filters. The 650-gross-ton Amels 177 is built to Lloyd’s Register Class and MCA LY2 compliance. Amels currently has 11 projects under way.

Third Amels Limited Editions superyacht created

Amels, a member of the Damen Shipyards Group, announces the delivery of <a href="#managed-by-application" data-legacy="true" data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/25">Deniki</a>, the first in its highly successful Limited Editions Amels 171 semi-custom series. The Limited Editions series were introduced just two years ago, at the Monaco show in September 2005, when preliminary data, drawings, and a model of the Amels 171 were shown to the press, brokers, and potential clients. <img src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/122883/image/large-9ace3eabab65da1e85f37e737e3a1bce.jpg" alt="" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/122883">The exterior was boldly shaped by Tim Heywood; the interior warmly styled by Laura Sessa. Within a few months, on the basis of these early specifications, several of the new model were sold with the central attraction being a much earlier delivery than that of a fully customized yacht. Indeed, <a href="#managed-by-application" data-legacy="true" data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/25">Deniki</a> was delivered to her owner in little more than 14 months from the signing of the contract. Though the fundamentals of the Limited Editions <a href="#managed-by-application" data-legacy="true" data-gid="gid://syiq/YachtModel/24">Amels 171</a> and its larger sister the <a href="#managed-by-application" data-legacy="true" data-gid="gid://syiq/YachtModel/156">Amels 212</a> are set by the shipyard, there is ample room within the design for clients to customize each yacht to assure individuality. <a href="#managed-by-application" data-legacy="true" data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/25">Deniki</a>’s owner chose to have his house architect, Peter Heuvelmans, create a fully customized, extravagant, darkly whimsical mood below, in contrast to Sessa’s quite light, contemporary styling. (The other Amels 171's on order will all have minor variations of Sessa’s luminous interior.) <a href="#managed-by-application" data-legacy="true" data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/25"> Deniki</a> left The Netherlands in early May, making her maiden passage to Monaco in time for the Grand Prix. On the way she encountered two Force 7 gales and highs seas and, according to her captain, Lawrence Cockx, rode them out comfortably. He reported: “<a href="#managed-by-application" data-legacy="true" data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/25">Deniki</a> is the best sea boat I have ever known.” Equally impressed, when the owner came aboard in the Mediterranean he literally exclaimed: “I am happy with every detail. Great job! Fantastic! I love it!” With dark-blue hull, off-white superstructure, and glowing mahogany caprails, <a href="#managed-by-application" data-legacy="true" data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/25">Deniki</a>, has also caught the eye and heart of many mediterranean “critics” who recognize her outstanding quality, originality, and workmanship. The next available Limited Editions Amels 171 is 2010.

Amels delivers Deniki, the first 171 Limited Editions

Last week the first <a href="#managed-by-application" data-legacy="true" data-gid="gid://syiq/YachtModel/24">Limited Editions 171</a>, <a href="#managed-by-application" data-legacy="true" data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/25">Deniki</a>, was completed by Amels Yachts in Vlissingen and has since left Holland on her way to the Mediterranean. At the moment she is cruising half way through the Gulf of Biscay and should make her appearance in the South of France just in time for the Cannes Film Festival and the Monaco Grand Prix. <a href="#managed-by-application" data-legacy="true" data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/25">Deniki</a> is the first of the new line of semi-custom yachts by Amels, the Limited Editions. Two versions of the Limited Edition will be available, the <a href="#managed-by-application" data-legacy="true" data-gid="gid://syiq/YachtModel/24">171</a> and <a href="#managed-by-application" data-legacy="true" data-gid="gid://syiq/YachtModel/156">212</a>. The <a href="#managed-by-application" data-legacy="true" data-gid="gid://syiq/YachtModel/24">LE 171</a> has an exterior design by Tim Heywood and an interior design by Laura Sessa. The owner of <a href="#managed-by-application" data-legacy="true" data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/25">Deniki</a> however choose his own interior Designer for his <a href="#managed-by-application" data-legacy="true" data-gid="gid://syiq/YachtModel/24">171</a>, Peter Heuvelmans. Currently there are six more <a href="#managed-by-application" data-legacy="true" data-gid="gid://syiq/YachtModel/24">171</a>’s under contract.

Amels Yachts launched the first Limited Editions 171 Deniki

The first Amels Limited Editions 171 Deniki is progressing very well at the Amels shipyard in Vlissingen. Deniki is already afloat inside the building shed and delivery to her owner is scheduled for May 2007. The popular limited editions from Amels are designed by Tim Heywood. Besides Deniki three more 171 yachts are under construction and the construction of the first Limited Editions 212 should start soon. It’s still unknown when <a href="#managed-by-application" data-legacy="true" data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/25">Deniki</a> will be launched, but expect the first photos on SuperyachtTimes.com. In the meantime <a href="#managed-by-application" data-legacy="true" data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/437">Waterman Marine Constultancy</a> provided us with these photos of Deniki in the building shed. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/122034/image/large-9785090f88afa3e9e2bf275dc9de9d71.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/122034"><img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/122035/image/large-cc4e333b4029be63a60736395c6ce72c.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/122035"><img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/122036/image/large-55ff4e2e6e264a655f4c2f872ae2365a.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/122036"><img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/122037/image/large-500f79f05691748a00d35af6fc5e5011.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/122037"><noscript></noscript>
