The yacht will be available for charter cruises around Amalfi, Sardinia, Corsica and the South of France starting from this summer. Based on the same platform as the Arcadia 100+, both exteriors and interiors of Arcadia 105 were developed in collaboration with Italian design studio Hot Lab. Sea Coral II comes as the second hull in the series, after the 2018 RJ.The 199-GT semi-planing superyacht has been constructed with a fibreglass hull onto a beam of 7.76 metres.The model is trademarked with glass walls between the aft-deck and main salon and openable floor-to-ceiling windows creating a fluid indoor-outdoor space.Thanks to the convertible 35-square-metre skylounge, a fully enclosed third deck can be protected against bad weather or open to enjoy the breeze and the scents of the sea.Accommodation on-board is provided for up to 10 guests within two doubles, two twins and one convertible cabin, along with the staff capacity for six. The yacht is equipped with games room, dining room and a private lounge.Toy storage of Sea Coral II comprises a Castoldi tender stored aft, two paddleboards, two Seabobs, a Kayak, wakeboard and water skis. Powered by two MAN V8 1200HP engines, the yacht cruises at 12-14 knots under reportedly low fuel consumption.As to other projects by the yard, with ten units now under construction, it has recently revealed the first Sherpa XL, that is approaching her completion.

The 54.3-metre Amels superyacht 4You, previously owned by co-founder of Russian real-estate development company PIK Group, Kirill Pisarev, has been sold with both the buyer and the seller represented by Edmiston.The second hull in Dutch shipyard Amels' successful Limited Editions 180 line, 4You was commissioned by her previous owner and launched in 2012. She has undergone several refit and maintenance works in 2016, 2017, with the latest one held in April 2019.The yacht features exterior design by UK-based Tim Heywood and interiors by Italian studio Laura Sessa. She is trademarked with a large sundeck and six staterooms for accommodation of up to 12 guests. Similarly to her sisterships Astra and Apollo, 4You features a timeless light grey hull and white superstructure.Propelled by MTU 12V 2000 M70 engines, 4You can reach a top speed of 15.5 knots and cruises at 13 knots. At the time of sale, 4You was asking €29,500,000.In 2016, the yacht’s previous owner Kirill Pisarev (net worth estimated at $6.1 billion, Forbes) won a law suit against Moran Yacht & Ship over a claim on commission over his previous yacht, also named 4You. The 47-metre 2009 Hessen could accommodate 10 guests in 5 cabins and was said to be too small for the owner’s family. Mr Pisarev therefore decided to sell the yacht and to commission a 55m yacht from Amels. Following the sale, Mr Pisarev ended up in court after the brokerage agency who managed and crewed the yacht, Moran Yacht and Ship, argued they were owed a £615,000 commission on the deal, 4% of the sale price. Their claim was dismissed by the High Court in 2014, and on February 11th 2016 Lord Justice Christopher Clarke dismissed the motion once again, reaffirming Mr Pisarev's victory in this legal dispute.
