Following the recent news that its flagship yacht, the 74-metre Amer 74, has been moved to outfitting, Italian shipyard Amer Yachts has announced that the 49.5-metre Amer 499 yacht, hull 499/11, will also now begin outfitting works.
According to BOATPro, the superyacht entered construction in December 2023. The steel and aluminium new build is the result of a collaboration between Amer Yachts and designer Antonio Luxardo. Delivery is expected in 2026.
The yacht is defined by a "balance between form and function", according to the shipyard, and features signature elements from Amer's Steel range, including a vertical bow, an elongated hull and a superstructure defined by an inverted glass wheelhouse. The result is a bold, sporty and highly contemporary profile.
Model highlights include a beach club with an opening flush-deck and a near 18-metre-long sundeck with a bow jacuzzi and "sunbathing zone" and an al fresco dining space sheltered by a roll bar with an opening hard top. On the main deck aft, guests can enjoy a broad cockpit with a large sunbed and inviting lounge area, while forward, a pool surrounded by sunpads offers a serene and private retreat.
Inside, living spaces are filled with light, with the two onboard saloons distinguished by a number of full-height glazed surfaces with glass railings - designed to offer a single, open experience of space. Accommodation also follows suit, with guest cabins featuring large hull windows for an abundance of natural light.
Exclusive BOATPro data amounts the yard has nine yachts currently under construction.
