Papa is a 55 m motor yacht built by Amels in 2019 (refitted 2022), for 10 guests in 5 cabins with 13 crew. Charter from €315,000 per week in summer (Western Mediterranean, Monaco and Italy); in winter from €315,000 (Southeast Asia and Thailand), plus expenses.
A 2019 Amels 180 with a Tim Heywood profile that has made Southeast Asia her charter ground, with an open-air cinema on the sun deck and a steam room, planned for ten guests.
Papa comes from Amels' Limited Editions line: the 180 platform, with an exterior by Tim Heywood, delivered in the spring of 2019. After one season in the Mediterranean she headed east, and Northrop & Johnson now presents her around Phuket and Langkawi.
Laura Sessa handled the rooms, keeping the lines clean and letting a few strong colours do the decorating. There is a piano aboard, and a steam room for the end of a day in the water.
Her plan is drawn for ten guests, not twelve. On the main deck, the owner gets a desk to work at and a terrace that opens out from the hull; downstairs, both VIP doubles have a dressing room you can step into. Two extra people can come along for day outings.
Evenings tend to end on the sun deck, which combines an outdoor cinema screen, sun pads, a big Jacuzzi and a bar. A Whitmarsh RIB does the shore runs, and the toy list includes a pair of electric surfboards.
A range of around 4,500 nautical miles lets her move between seas without fuss. She suits a family or a small circle of friends planning a charter in Asia, with a modern Dutch yacht as the base. If there are twelve of you and everyone needs a bed, look at a larger layout; and if you want her somewhere specific, ask early, because no portal publishes a fixed season or a rate for her at the moment.
