In the world of yachting, certain names carry instant weight. Amels is one. Known for crafting sleek floating palaces that balance timeless elegance with cutting-edge innovation, the Dutch builder has once again raised the bar with Entourage. At 197 feet (60 meters), this steel-hulled beauty isn’t just a yacht — it’s a lifestyle that glides as effortlessly through the Caribbean as the Mediterranean.
Delivered in 2023, Entourage is the second hull of the Amels 60 Limited Editions series. She wears the signature curves of exterior designer Espen Øino, whose work is synonymous with modern nautical architecture, while her interiors are the brainchild of Toronto-based design studio Burdifilek. Together, they’ve created a vessel that exudes serenity without losing its edge, a yacht for those who expect refinement but crave adventure.
Step aboard, and it’s clear that Entourage was designed for living. Towering streams of glass pour light into the main salon, where floor-to-ceiling windows create a seamless dialogue between sea and sky. The elongated sundeck stretches invitingly across the horizon, offering generous space for lively cocktail hours and quiet morning coffees. The design flows in a way that feels less like a boat and more like a modern seaside residence.
Accommodations are no afterthought. Up to 12 guests can settle into six expansive suites, including a full-beam primary retreat on the main deck. The primary offers thoughtful details usually reserved for five-star hotels: a private dressing room, his-and-hers bathrooms and a sense of privacy that feels cocooned yet open to the views beyond. The additional cabins are flexible, operating as doubles or twins to suit family gatherings or larger groups of friends.
Luxury isn’t found just where you sleep or sip champagne. It’s in the small details: the gentle sway absorbed by stabilizers at anchor, the Wi-Fi connection that never falters, the saltwater rinsed away in an outdoor shower after a swim. For Entourage’s guests, luxury may mean the memories made, the sunrise yoga sessions on the foredeck, the laughter that lingers long after dinner under the stars, or the way a floating home can make the world feel both vast and intimate.
Eco-conscious travelers will appreciate Entourage’s IMO Tier III-compliant hybrid power and propulsion, representing the next step toward greener cruising without compromising performance. With a cruising speed of 12 knots and a transatlantic range of 4,500 nautical miles, she makes far-flung horizons feel close at hand.
Then there’s the fun factor. A yacht named Entourage wouldn’t be complete without a full lineup of toys: Jet Skis, Seabobs, wakeboards, towables, even Flyboards for those who want to literally soar above the sea. A 42-foot HCB Lujo Chase Tender stands ready to whisk guests ashore in style. Add a beach club, deck jacuzzi and outdoor bar, and every day feels like three vacations in one.
Amels has a reputation for building yachts that last. With Entourage, they’ve built something more: a vessel that inspires, invites and embodies the best of modern yachting. For those lucky enough to step aboard, it’ll feel like discovering an entirely new way of life.
