Papa

Amels has been one of the top yachting brands in the Netherlands for more than a century. They released a luxury motor yacht called Papa in 2019 and refitted her in 2022. This impressive 55-meter superyacht can hold up to 10 guests and features deluxe amenities like a jacuzzi, piano and an outdoor cinema.

History

Papa is a superyacht that’s built on the Amels 180 model. This is one of their Limited Edition models, and it’s recognized as one of the most successful superyacht designs in history. The Limited Editions launched 15 years ago and, contrary to the name but unsurprising given their popularity, production has been going non stop. There have been 25 yachts based on this model alone, and it’s also a popular charter choice. It won an Asia Boating Award in 2014 and was a finalist for an International Yacht and Aviation Award in 2013.

Damen Yachting was responsible for her naval architecture, and esteemed designer Tim Heywood created her sleek exterior. She’s a beautiful example of Amels’ excellent craftsmanship and commitment to modern, innovative design. After a relocation in 2003, all of the brand’s vessels have been built in the Dutch town of Vlissingen. It’s the largest superyacht facility in the Netherlands and employs around 1,500 team members.

Interiors

Stepping inside this yacht feels like entering an upscale home. The furnishings are plush and luxurious with plenty of room to socialize and relax. The color scheme is neutral with bold red and blue accents. The furniture is sleek and modern with some pieces that even look futuristic.

An internationally acclaimed Italian designer named Laura Sessa Romboli was behind all of the living spaces featured throughout the boat. She specializes in creating custom interiors for some of the world’s most beautiful yachts. She’s collaborated with Amels frequently over the years.

This family charter includes five suites and can hold up to 10 guests. There’s a master suite, three double cabins, and one twin suite. Something special about Papa is that this yacht can also hold up to 13 crew members. That means there’s more staff than guests so everyone can enjoy individualized attention and a stress-free getaway.

Amenities & Recreation

Charter guests will love Papa’s array of onboard toys and amenities. This adventure charter includes special features that you don’t always see on a yacht, like a piano in the living room. There’s also a steam room, a fitness center and a chic beach club. All around the deck, you’ll find spacious al fresco lounging areas as well as luxurious sun pads and fold out balconies.

The outdoor cinema is a great way to enjoy your favorite flicks under the stars and don’t forget about unwinding in the jacuzzi. Some of the available water toys include SEABOBs, wakeboards, Jet Skis and wakeboards. You’ll also have towables and inflatables.

Papa is ready to book for summer and winter charters. She cruises all around the Mediterranean during the summer and visits hotspots like France, Italy, and Monaco. She can also be booked for your destinations of choice throughout the year.
