Amels' 55-metre motor yacht Samira has joined the brokerage market in a new listing with Henry Smith of Cecil Wright.
Samira was delivered in 2003 as La Masquerade, custom-built in steel and aluminium by the Dutch yard to a complete design by yachting legend Terence Disdale. According to her broker, Samira is a "true pedigree yacht combining contemporary lines with classic elegance" and offers almost 20 per cent larger volume (at 802GT) than any other 55-metre Amels model.
The motor yacht rejoins the market following a sale in 2021, which was followed by a series of refits until 2025 at a combined cost of near €16,000,000. Notably, Cecil Wright oversaw Samira's previous sale, representing both the seller and the buyer in the deal.
Accommodation on board is for up to 12 guests in five generous cabins. A grand full-beam master suite can be found forward on the main deck, while a full-beam VIP suite, one double cabin and two further doubles, each with an additional full-sized single bed, are situated on the lower deck, all with en suites. Further quarters accommodate a crew of 13.
In terms of living areas, an expansive main saloon offers comfortable seating on oversized sofas surrounding a large coffee table, while a drop-down television (which rotates 360 degrees) and a mini grand piano provide entertainment. The adjacent dining area has formal seating for 14 to 16 guests and can be closed off for maximum privacy, or opened to the elements thanks to a fold-down balcony to port.
Samira also hosts a picturesque sky lounge on the bridge deck, complete with full-beam seating, games tables and a large television, while aft is an al fresco cocktail and dining area for up to 12 guests. Expansive windows across her profile provide bounds of natural light while providing unrestricted views out.
Her raked radar arch provides partial protection from the sun on her large sundeck, which is an excellent area for entertaining, casual dining, or sun worshipping on forward sofas and a relaxed dining table aft.
Closer to the water, a sizeable swim platform from the opening transom offers easy sea enjoyment, with an accompanying lazarette storing water sports equipment and toys.
Cecil Wright director and partner, Henry Smith, commented: "Samira is a quintessential example of Amels craftsmanship and Northern European pedigree. She combines exceptional build quality with a timeless design by Terence Disdale, making her one of the most recognisable and proven yachts in her class."
"With her extensive refits and VAT-paid status, she represents outstanding value in today’s market – a rare opportunity for a buyer seeking a yacht of true quality and distinction, which is truly turnkey," Smith added.
According to BOATPro, twin Caterpillar diesel engines power the yacht for sale to a maximum speed of 16 knots and a cruising speed of 11 knots. Her beam is 9.6 metres.
Currently lying in Monaco, Samira is asking €29,900,000 with VAT paid.
