Amels delivers 180 yacht Elixir

Dutch shipyard Amels’ 55m superyacht Elixir has been delivered to her owner, as part of the yard’s Limited Editions 180 series.

Due to debut at next month’s Monaco Yacht Show, Elixir was first on the water back in March, before completing her sea trials in June. She will now be available as a charter yacht, due to spend the winter in the Caribbean before heading to the West Mediterranean next summer.

The limited editions range was first introduced by Amels back in 2005 at the Monaco Yacht Show, and since then more than 20 hulls have been created.

Elixir features a steel hull and aluminium superstructure, with exterior styling completed by British designer Tim Heywood, and interior designs by Laura Sessa Design. Stand out exterior features include a superyacht spa pool on the sun deck, skylounge cinema, and a beach club with a sauna and dive centre.

On board, Elixir features accommodation for 12 guests across six cabins which include a master suite, three double cabins and two twin rooms. Crew quarters then allow for up to 12 staff.

Elixir is powered by two MTU 16V 2000 M70 engines, allowing for a total output of 2,616hp and a top speed of 15.5 knots. She can also achieve a maximum cruising range of 4,500nm at a speed of 13 knots.
