Synthesis

Nineteen crew looking after twelve guests is the sort of ratio that shows up in how a day aboard runs rather than in a photograph: someone free for every request, nothing waiting for the next watch. Synthesis carries that ratio, an Amels motor yacht delivered in 2021 and refitted in 2026, and she is offered through Boatcrowd from Antibes.

Build and provenance

She was delivered in 2021 by Amels, and a 2026 refit added a complete repaint and closed out her Lloyd's Register class survey. A refit that clears a class survey is one that leaves little open for the next owner to inherit.

Layout and accommodation

Twelve guests are accommodated across six cabins, with a private owner's deck set apart from the guest decks below and holding its own jacuzzi. Nineteen crew, in their own quarters, run the boat around that layout rather than through it.

Performance and engineering

Two 2,719 hp Caterpillar 3516 engines carry her to a 14-knot cruise and 16.5 knots at full speed, a displacement pace that matches her build rather than chasing speed for its own sake. At a 3.9-metre draft she can reach anchorages a deeper-drafted yacht of her length would have to skip.

On deck and at anchor

An infinity pool sits by the main salon, and the sundeck carries sunpads, a balcony and an on-deck jacuzzi above it. Below, a sauna, spa, massage room and cinema fill the wellness and connectivity spaces, and a helipad, an outdoor cinema, a hammam, an elevator and an office round out the rest of the boat. Her interior, by Winch Design, favours an easy, beach house mood over a formal one.

Where she lies and how to see her

Synthesis lies in Antibes, France. We arrange every viewing and are there for it, and once an offer is accepted the survey and sea trial follow before handover.
