The first Amels 180, STEP ONE, wil be on display at the Monaco Yacht Show
The brand new Amels 55-metre yacht, STEP ONE, is set to make her first public appearance at the Monaco Yacht Show this September. With a sun deck measuring 24.5 metres long, and a helipad with 2000kg take-off weight, STEP ONE is the first Amels 180 of the highly successful Amels Limited Editions range, designed to bridge the gap between semi-custom and full custom yachts.

The yacht’s streamlined exterior was drawn by renowned British designer Tim Heywood and her full custom interior by Laura Sessa from Rome. STEP ONE passed all tests on the first day of her sea trial in April, to the full satisfaction of Lloyds Register and the Owner’s Representative, Moran Yachts & Ship.
With annual growth of 10% over the past four years, Amels is the largest superyacht builder in the Netherlands. Already 2012 has been a busy year, with three new-builds and two refits successfully delivered on time, and with another nine new construction projects underway.
