This week a new 74-metre Amels 242 emerged from the Amels and Damen Yachting drydock in the Netherlands. Known as Project Shadow, the Tim Heywood-designed Amels Limited Editions yacht is in the final phase of outfitting before her delivery later this year.

Following the sale announcement earlier this year, Moran Yacht & Ship's new build team has been supervising the completion. The Owners have been closely involved in tailoring the yacht to their personal requirements including a unique Ice Blue hull colour and custom interiors by Winch Design.

The Amels 242 also features a dedicated Owners Deck with foredeck jacuzzi and an increased capacity helicopter deck. The yacht is equipped with the latest IMO Tier III clean emissions power and propulsion package.

The Amels 242 is the sixth from the 74-metre design in the Limited Editions range. The Amels Limited Editions range of superyachts offers a proven technical platform with custom interiors. The builder has delivered more than 40 Limited Editions yachts since 2005. The innovative business model of upfront investment in engineering and construction, while maximising customisation, represents the perfect balance between full custom and semi-custom - and reduces delivery time from several years to as little as a few months.
