The star of the 206-foot Amels yacht line, Stardust, is its glorious finish. The shipyard, in collaboration with exterior designer Tim Heywood, has bestowed upon this superyacht a resplendent, shark-like outer body. The light grey hull and white superstructure enhance the exquisite long lines from the Scimitar bow to the Swim Platform.
Delivered in 2020 with a beam of 35 feet, the luxury vessel boasts interiors by Laura Sessa, who also designed the interiors of another Amels 199 Limited Editions superyacht named ‘Event,’ which once belonged to Hui Ka-yan, China’s former richest man.
Stardust is an Amels 206, that explains the length, and is a semi-custom yacht. This pleasure craft can accommodate up to 12 guests and is maintained and operated by 14 crew members. As a 1161 GT yacht, it features ample lounge areas aft on several decks, a sundeck pool, a forward tender garage, and a foredeck helipad.
While the interiors of the yacht have not been revealed, the designer is known for imbuing ships with a timeless appeal. The superyacht is valued at nearly $200 million, with an annual running cost ranging from $20 to $25 million. The maintenance cost of these vessels is 10 percent of the price. The owner of this magnificent 206-footer remains unknown, adding an air of mystery to its allure.
