La Mirage is a 52 m motor yacht built by Amels in 2007 (refitted 2018), for 12 guests in 6 cabins with 13 crew. Charter from €260,000 per week in summer (Italy, Monaco and Amalfi Coast), plus expenses.
A 2007 Amels Limited Edition that has stayed with one owner since delivery, with a beach-house interior, a fenced-in sun pad area for small children and RYA jet-ski courses on board.
La Mirage was one of the first Amels Limited Editions, launched in 2007 as an Amels 171 with lines by Tim Heywood, and according to the shipyard she has belonged to the same owner ever since. Amels also singles out the experience of the crew that runs her.
Laura Sessa Romboli gave the interior a beach-house feel: whitewashed walls with touches of navy, coral and olive, and a sky lounge arranged around an 85-inch screen for film nights.
She built her reputation with families, and the details explain why. On the sun deck, the padded lounging area is fully enclosed, an arrangement Burgess describes as child-friendly, with a bar, a spa pool and a dining table close by. The RYA has also recognised her as a place to teach jet-ski handling, so older children and adults can take a course during the week, and a waterslide keeps everyone else busy.
A masseuse travels with the crew, and there is gym equipment for those who keep a routine.
Her summers are spent between the Riviera and Corsica, and winter charters are offered on request. She makes most sense for families with young children, and for groups who value a settled, well-run yacht over the newest design. With several twin cabins in the plan, a party made up only of couples who each expect a double bed should look at something else.
