The top new superyachts for charter in 2022

Stats: 60m, Amels, 2022, 12 guests, 14 crew

Be one of the first to set foot on board the Amels 60 Limited Editions Come Together as she sets sail for the Mediterranean this summer. She is the first in a new generation of Limited Editions models from the boards of lauded superyacht designer Espen Øino and is packed with every amenity you could wish for.

Days spent on Come Together start and finish on the sun deck which stretches almost half of the yacht's entire length. The sun deck is the crowning jewel on board (although the beach club and its 38-square metre swim platform could give the spot a run for its money). An outdoor cooking station with a teppanyaki grill brings the family together for al fresco lunches, while guests are more than welcome thanks to an extendable dining table that seats up to 18 guests. A bar and Jacuzzi offer the perfect set up for lazy afternoons, and when the sun sets, the space can be transformed into a cinema under the stars.

Come Together can sleep up to 12 guest across six beachy staterooms, including an oversized owner's suite with a folding terrace for quiet coffees, a main deck "Madame" suite and four additional guest cabins on the lower deck each with direct access to the beach club. Morning swim anyone?

Come Together is available for charter with Y.CO starting from €600,000 per week.
