Amer 120 モーターヨット

Four 900 hp Volvo Penta IPS power the Amer 120, a propulsion choice built for manoeuvring at the dock as much as for the passage out. Amer is building her now, a 36-metre flybridge yacht, for delivery in 2028.

Build and provenance

She is a monohull flybridge motor yacht from the Italian yard, built with less composite in her structure, some of it replaced by metal and glass; the yard puts the weight saved at around four tons. Delivery is due in 2028, so a buyer is purchasing a yacht still under construction rather than one already proven at sea.

Layout and accommodation

Ten guests sleep across five cabins, with a crew of five in their own quarters, a crew-to-guest ratio of one to two that points to a yacht meant to be run and served properly. The master cabin is full beam, with a limestone bathroom and a walk-in wardrobe,.

Performance and engineering

Four 900 hp Volvo Penta IPS drives give her a 23-knot cruise and a 27-knot top speed. A Seakeeper gyroscopic stabiliser holds her steady at anchor, and fin stabilisers do the same job under way, so the ride stays level whether she's moored or making passage.

On deck and at anchor

On deck she carries a flybridge built for open-air living and a BBQ station for evenings there, backed by a tender garage, jet skis and a hydraulic gangway that makes getting ashore straightforward. A satellite TV connection and a bow thruster round out a yacht equipped for both comfort and easy handling.

Where she lies and how to see her

The AMER is under construction in Italy. Every viewing is ours to set up and we attend each one, and once a buyer's offer is accepted, the survey and sea trial happen before she changes hands.
