The first AMELS 199 yacht ‘EVENT’ has been christened at the Amels yard in Vlissingen, Holland. In a few weeks this avant-garde 60-metre will set out on her maiden voyage to Norway to explore the spectacular fjords.
The successful, on-time delivery of EVENT represents another successful collaboration between Amels and Imperial. The honour of christening the yacht was given to Laura Sessa, the designer who worked closely with the owner in creating an interior that perfectly complements the bold theme of Tim Heywood’s lines for the AMELS 199.
After her maiden voyage to Norway, EVENT will sail south for the Mediterranean where she will become available for charter and then go on to star at the Monaco Yacht Show in September.
The AMELS 199 remains true to the Limited Editions concept that the company been promoting for the past six years: a superior yacht of the highest quality and technical specification, delivered in much less time, whilst avoiding the risks of a full custom design.
