Deniki is a 52.3 m motor yacht built by Amels in 2007 (refitted 2021), for 10 guests in 5 cabins with 12 crew. Charter from €210,000 per week in summer (Croatia, Italy and Malta); in winter from US$210,000 (Antigua, Bahamas and Cuba), plus expenses.
The first Amels Limited Edition, a seasoned world cruiser that has reached Alaska and Antarctica, with a massage waterbed on deck and a private gym and sauna for the owner's suite.
Deniki opened the Limited Editions story at Amels: she was the first hull, and in those days the model went by the name 171. Her original owners used her the way she was meant to be used: by the end of year three the log showed nearly 60,000 miles, with Alaska on the list, and later they pushed on as far as Antarctica.
That record tells you how she is built and looked after, yet on charter she feels more like a relaxed home than an expedition ship. Her last big yard period, spread across 2021 and 2022, left her with fresh paint from top to bottom and a renewed lounge and master suite. The lounge has mahogany panelling and parquet with inlaid motifs, the sky lounge is warmed by marquetry, and the aft deck is heated, so eating outside still works on a cool evening.
The master suite holds something rare for a yacht of her size: a gym of its own, with a sauna and a steam shower, plus a study that sliding doors can close off from the bedroom. On the sun deck, under a mast arch shaped like the wings of a manta ray, you find a Jacuzzi, a bar and a shaded table, and at the stern a massage waterbed that starts with a button and is the yacht's best-loved feature. Burgess, her central agent, describes the crew as a close and long-serving team.
With space for ten guests rather than twelve, she is right for two or three couples with children, or a family who want the feel of a private house with a crew that knows every corner of the boat. She is the wrong pick for anyone who wants a large beach club or a long list of fast toys: her pleasures are on deck and in the cabins, not at the waterline.
