The 59-metre rebuilt Amels explorer yacht Just B has been sold in a deal with Jim Evans of SuperYachtsMonaco.
Built by the renowned Dutch shipyard in 1973 as a North Sea pilot vessel, she was extensively rebuilt in 1998, with recent major refits in 2018, 2020 and 2024. The explorer yacht was originally converted by Southampton Yacht Services, with naval architecture by Amels and Dutch Navy. The broker quoted the owner saying: “You can always redecorate and rework interiors, but you cannot recreate pedigree, hull integrity and proven seakeeping.”
Her interiors were penned by the Californian studio The Wiseman Group, known for a refined and timeless styling, alongside Vripak Yacht Design, the renowned Dutch interior company.
Her main saloon is designed with a sociable layout, featuring a classic L-shaped sofa paired with armchairs and a coffee table. There is also a bar with two stools to support hosting drink parties.
A cascading staircase provides direct access to the water on the main deck aft, where guests can find deck chairs to lounge on after a swim.
Accommodating a large party of 15 guests across eight cabins, the layout of Just B includes a dedicated owner's deck with a large suite, en suite, lounge and deck area.
The deck offers both interior and exterior hosting space, with large cream sofas paired with coffee tables in the saloon. A more formal dining area is also provided in the same open-plan space, with a large table seating 12 guests in a more private setting.
Al fresco dining is encouraged on the owner's deck aft with a long wooden dining table for eight guests under the overhang. There are also two L-shaped banquettes, providing the opportunity to relax after a long meal or enjoy informal dining at the coffee tables.
The explorer yacht holds a unique addition on board - the chart room on the main deck, where a large map adorns the wall and an oval table sits with six chairs.
Another standout feature is the gym up in the wheelhouse deck, which benefits from the surrounding windows that let in light and offer sea views as you use the equipment. Through glass doors, guests can reach the sundeck, which can serve as a quiet haven, with a row of sun loungers that offer optional shading, all facing forward so guests can soak in the landscape ahead.
Powered by three Volvo Penta D16C1-EMG engines, the explorer reaches a top speed of 13.5 knots and boasts a maximum range of 11,500 nautical miles when navigating at cruising speed.
Just B was last asking €24,500,000.
