Amels is a Dutch superyacht builder based in Vlissingen with a heritage since 1918, best known for its Limited Editions semi-custom motor yachts from 55 to 83 metres. The yard’s yachts balance meaningful owner customisation with reliable delivery schedules and Dutch engineering precision. Interior volumes run consistently larger than the length class suggests, and the exterior profiles are characterised by clean, proportionate lines.
Monaco is one of the most prestigious bases for an Amels charter. Port Hercule’s deep berths accommodate Amels yachts up to 90 metres, and the principality’s network of provisioning, crew services, and maritime infrastructure supports the highest-specification charter operations. Crews experienced in Monaco’s protocols manage tender excursions to the Casino square, provisioning from the covered market, and day passages to Cap Ferrat and Antibes.
Weekly charter rates for Amels yachts in Monaco and the South of France range from approximately 150,000 to 500,000 euros depending on size and season. The advance provisioning allowance runs at around 30 percent of the base fee, covering fuel, provisions, harbour dues, and crew gratuity. The Monaco Grand Prix in late May, the Monte-Carlo Galas, and July and August peak season all create strong demand for prime dates.
From Monaco, an Amels yacht reaches Cap Ferrat and Beaulieu-sur-Mer in under an hour, Antibes and the Lérins Islands within a morning, and Menton and the Italian border by early afternoon. Heading west, the entire South of France coast from Nice to Saint-Tropez opens across a week’s charter.
