Fact file: Six things to know about the recently sold 89m Amels Here Comes the Sun

22 January 2026 • Written by Gemma Harris

Since she emerged from the Dutch sheds in 2016, the 89-metre Here Comes the Sun has been one of the most recognisable Amels yachts, and the only Limited Edition 272 model. An iconic British design double act, her exterior lines are the work of Tim Heywood – a culmination of gentle, sculpted curves and inside, Winch Design was responsible for her calm, beach-house aesthetics. A simple brief from the original owner, who later commissioned a second Amels yacht, was to create a family-focused platform. Having sold earlier this month, BOAT explores the yacht that keeps turning heads, rain or shine…

1. Her launch marked a record for Amels’ Limited Editions

When Here Comes the Sun was delivered in 2017, she became the largest yacht ever built on the Amels 272 platform – and the biggest Limited Editions yacht the yard had ever launched. The commissioning owner’s vision of a family yacht was reflected in the design choices, and the semi-custom build was designed to feel bespoke. Holding the flagship title for the past six years, she is only now preparing to pass the crown to the upcoming 120-metre Project Tanzanite, slated for delivery later this year.

Bonus fun fact: Here Comes the Sun saw a €20,000,000 price reduction before her sale, with the last known asking price listed at €165,000,000. Burgess and Y.CO represented both the seller and the buyer in the deal, with Robert Allen Law also advising the buyer.

2. Her lyrically inspired name is part of a tradition

Commissioned by an Amels client with a love of British rock band The Beatles, she was named after the iconic song Here Comes the Sun. The yacht replaced the client’s previous Limited Editions 212 yacht – at the time named after John Lennon’s hit, Imagine (now Ventum Maris). The musical naming theme later inspired a follow-up build – again, also coined after the British rock band’s song, Come Together – the 60-metre, which was the yard’s first collaboration with Espen Øino, was delivered in 2022.

3. She grew six metres and became award-winning

... And by nearly 3,000GT. In 2021, Here Comes the Sun returned to her home at Amels’ Vlissingen City shipyard for a major 16-month rebuild carried out by the original new-build team alongside Azure Naval Architects. The project resulted in a six-metre extension, two new VIP suites, a new helipad, a reworked sundeck with Jacuzzi and gym, and an interior revamp. The transformation earned her the Neptune for Best Rebuilt Yacht at the 2022 World Superyacht Awards.

4. She is a showstopper, with a side of hypercar

Here Comes the Sun is a standout on the yacht show circuit, thanks to her navy blue hull and ice-white superstructure introduced during her rebuild. Regularly ranking among the largest yachts on display, she has become a conversation starter. The most recent flurry of attention on her was during the 2025 Monaco Yacht Show, where she was listed for sale. She famously had a limited edition Aston Martin Valhalla car on the foredeck, taking the prime position on one of her helipads. Burgess's marketing move at the show highlighted hypercars as the perfect accessory for the yachting lifestyle.

5. Guests can arrive in style on one of her two helipads

From the rebuild, she was also outfitted with dual helicopter capability thanks to her 1,000-square-metre-plus exterior spaces. To accommodate the 20 guests within the 10 cabins, including a full-beam owner’s deck, the Amels yacht features a fully operational sundeck capable of hosting aircraft such as a Bell 429 and an EC145. And for guests wanting a quick arrival or departure in style, she also has a touch-and-go helipad on the bow.

6. She puts a spotlight on wellness – and a connection to the sea

Relaxation is at Here Comes the Sun’s heart. Her main-deck swimming pool, stretching seven metres long and two metres deep, was upgraded during her rebuild with contraflow jets for a full counter-current experience. The deck below this is her restyled beach club, which unfolds on three sides, allowing not only connection to the sea but also access to her wellness sanctuary, complete with a sauna, steam room, plunge pool and beauty salon.
