The first Amels 220 superyacht, 67.1-metre Aurora Borealis was set out for final sea trials ahead of the forthcoming delivery. First known as Project Waka, the yacht hit the water for the first time in March 2019 inside the yard's covered dry docks.


The project has been overseen by Antoine Larricq, sales broker from Fraser, acting as the owner’s representative during the construction process. He expressed at the event:
Everyone is really impressed with how seamless this project has been. This is the result of all those hours of work and meetings, cutting materials, selecting marbles, and now we are right on schedule.

UK-based designer Tim Heywood, who has been responsible for the whole Limited Editions portfolio with Amels, has trademarked the vessel’s exteriors with extended decks, a 65-square-metre swim platform and beach club area.
Special features on-board include a guest elevator to all decks, a steam room, spa and a fully-equipped gym, as well as a tender garage spacious enough to house two eight-metre tenders.

Antoine Larricq also represented the owner in terms of interiors, with interior concept developed by Winch Design. Aurora Borealis' interior volume of 1,500 GT provides nearly 1,150 square metres of interior space, comprising seven luxury guest suites. Thus, accommodation will be offered for up to 14 guests, along with 15 crew members.
The yacht is currently listed for sale asking € 87,500,000 via Fraser.
