Constructed with an aluminium hull and superstructure, she features a beam of 8.89-metres and a draft of 2.33-metres. Her distinctive low-profile silhouette is characterised by clean lines, expansive glazing and an uncluttered look.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/397167/image/large-b141990b85e5a1cc3403090a05a024dd.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/397167"> <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/397169/image/large-4e688af92b30a4582f0b0fbb18366c98.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/397169">According to the shipyard, the yacht is designed around openness, light and a direct relationship with the marine environment. This philosophy is most evident within her main saloon, where floor-to-ceiling windows and an open-plan arrangement place the sea at the centre of the onboard experience.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/397170/image/large-e99cd323156182c88f6b2afeba609cb3.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/397170"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/397172/image/large-6e383fb85357aabdfd4ca3322b4ee657.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/397172">Moreover, her interiors embrace a calm and contemporary approach, featuring a neutral palette intended to complement, rather than compete with, the surrounding scenery.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/397171/image/large-62a5e66c76c69c3b4b42d76f20dd4f28.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/397171">Moving outside, the cockpit’s raised seating descends towards the aft swim platform, creating a seamless connection to the water. This sense of space is further enhanced by drop-down side wings that broaden the deck. Meanwhile, a generous foredeck lounge forward with additional seating offers the perfect setting for relaxation, with a discreet sunpad crowning the superstructure above.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/397168/image/large-af3b54bffc69a8db8cf37d5eb373d44d.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/397168" style="box-sizing: inherit; border: 0px; font-family: &quot;Open Sans&quot;, sans-serif; position: relative; max-width: 100%; margin: 1rem 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 13.6px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;">"The objective was not to maximize gross tonnage, but to maximize the owner's experience of the sea," commented <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/58" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Luca Dini Design & Architecture (Company)">Luca Dini</a>.

To futureproof the new model, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/18" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Amels (Company)">Amels</a> decided to take it upon themselves to develop and integrate the new Tier III-required systems that would ensure the sustainability of our oceans and a cleaner yachting experience overall. “We laid the keel for this&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/YachtModel/6269" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Amels Limited Edition 18857.7m (189'4&quot;)">Amels 188</a>&nbsp;before the end of 2015, so we were not obliged to comply with the new IMO Tier III emissions regulations.

(Company)">Tim Heywood</a> when asked how the Tier III regulations impacted the design of this project. “Some of the equipment is larger than what we used before and it all had to be considered by the yard. One of the biggest things I had to contend with was ceiling and deck level heights, and for this I made the side structures and deck edges a little thicker so they would look a bit dramatic from the outside.”Sharing a similar profile with the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/YachtModel/6266" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Amels Limited Edition 19962.4m (204'9&quot;)">Amels 199</a>, a favourite of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Tim Heywood Design Ltd.

If a good friend is asking you to do something, you try and do it as quickly as possible. If I have to design the entire GA myself, it would take around 6 weeks while if they have done most of the GA work, it would be closer to a month to create a design that I’m happy with.”However, the design process doesn’t stop when <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Tim Heywood Design Ltd.

"They really wanted something different to the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/YachtModel/6144" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Amels Limited Edition 180 55.0m (180'5&quot;)">180</a> and the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/YachtModel/6266" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Amels Limited Edition 19962.4m (204'9&quot;)">199</a> models which already formed part of the Limited Editions line up.

This is as good as a spec boat can be.”&nbsp;Once <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/6183" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Volpini 257.7m (189'4&quot;)Amels2018">Volpini 2’s</a> owners joined the program, subtle changes were made to suit their yachting lifestyle, as they brought an element of sportiness from the exterior design inside. “Most people will tell you that the interior is very calm and peaceful, but at the same time, it is very detailed as well. It's like haute couture in many ways, it's tailored.”<img src="/uploads/store/photo/54906/image/large-d92a75ece4602258f6c21158db8c7e3b.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/54906"><img src="/uploads/store/photo/70243/image/large-a101a14ba1ff67983f1009906263216a.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/70243">Going hybridIn addition to <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/6183" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Volpini 257.7m (189'4&quot;)Amels2018">Volpini 2’s</a> successful Tier III compliant propulsion system, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/18" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Amels (Company)">Amels</a> went a step further to install the first <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/18" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Amels (Company)">Amels</a> Hybrid Power system; an interconnected package designed to spread energy around the yacht as efficiently as possible and to ensure that not a single milliampere goes to waste.

Excess heat that would otherwise be lost is now used to heat up the Jacuzzi water, for example, as well as improving the heating and ventilation system on board.

Not too fashionable as it can go out of style then very quickly. It should be trendy enough, but classically trendy and I think that is what we have created.”&nbsp;Six guest suites are spread across three decks on board, starting with a grand VIP stateroom on the bridge deck and working down to the four guest cabins on the lower deck. The sophisticated master suite forward on the main deck has retained a similar layout to that found on certain <a data-gid="gid://syiq/YachtModel/6144" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Amels Limited Edition 180 55.0m (180'5&quot;)">Limited Editions 180</a> yachts with the beloved balcony on the starboard side and offset bed to port separated by a cosy lounge area. <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/56" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Reymond Langton Design Ltd.

They also added more colours. The original concept has the same level of detail, but what we see today is a little bit more sporty than that.”<img src="/uploads/store/photo/70241/image/large-55ef0ca6a71278ad2ad28e02876473cb.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/70241">A new breedNitrogen Oxide (NOx).
