The 42m Amels Tranquillity underway

Tranquillity leaving San Juan, Puerto Rico

The custom-built Tranquillity is the result of an all-Dutch collaboration involving designers Felix Buytendijk and Diana Yacht Design. She was launched in 1984 at Amels’ then Makkum shipyard as Jamaica Bay. Still in perfect condition today, Tranquillity last underwent a refit in 2008. She carries eight guests in a classically-styled interior along with a company of eight crew.
