QU2 is a stunning, brand-new 60-metre motor yacht delivered by the Dutch shipyard Amels in 2026, the ninth yacht in the acclaimed Amels 60 Limited Editions series and one of the most anticipated new charter yachts of the year, offering the rare opportunity to experience a pristine superyacht at the very start of her charter career. She brings together three of the most distinguished names in yachting, pairing the proven technical platform of Amels and Damen Yachting with sleek, angular exterior lines by Espen Oeino and highly personalised interiors by Winch Design. Built on a displacement steel hull with an aluminium superstructure and teak decks, and powered by an advanced diesel-electric hybrid propulsion system with stabilisers at anchor and underway, she offers a notable sense of quiet and calm both at anchor and on passage thanks to meticulous acoustic engineering, cruising comfortably at around 13 knots with a top speed of 15 knots and a range of some 4,500 nautical miles. Her exterior is defined by the signature clean, geometric lines of the Amels 60, including the bold trapezoidal windows that wrap the owner’s suite, while inside, Winch Design has created a warm, residential atmosphere inspired by the tones, textures and landscapes of the Pacific Islands. Natural materials layer beautifully throughout, with pale timber floors, soft-toned curved wall panels, stone and marble, and a sculptural, ribbed spiral staircase forming the central architectural feature, and each deck takes its cues from a different element of the region, from forest floors and golden sands below to wide ocean views and soft horizon-inspired blues above. Open-plan living and expansive windows fill the social areas with natural light. Life on deck is exceptional, crowned by an extraordinary 29-metre sundeck with a jacuzzi, sunpads, a sit-up bar, a dining area and two dedicated sun-lounge areas, along with a touch-and-go helipad. The beach club, accessible directly from the lower-deck cabins, comes complete with a bar and a sauna and opens onto an expansive swim platform where loungers, tables and parasols create a waterfront lounge overlooking the water, and an extensive collection of toys, including a floating pool, jet skis, Seabobs and paddleboards, transforms every anchorage into a private playground. Accommodation is arranged for up to 12 guests in six beautifully appointed en-suite cabins. The full-beam owner’s suite is located on the main deck and features a dressing room, a his-and-her en-suite and a private folding balcony opening onto a seven-square-metre terrace, while a VIP cabin completes the main deck and two double cabins and two twin cabins convertible to doubles are located on the lower deck, connecting directly to the beach club via a central corridor for immediate access to the water. A professional crew of thirteen delivers elevated, seamless service throughout. QU2 spends her debut season cruising the western Mediterranean, from the French Riviera and Monaco to Corsica, Sardinia, Italy and the Balearic Islands, and offers charter guests a rare combination of the latest design and technology, whisper-quiet hybrid cruising, a calming nature-led Winch interior and an exceptional 29-metre sundeck aboard one of the freshest and most sophisticated charter yachts on the market.
