10. OVERVIEW
AMORE was crafted by an exceptional team at one of America's premier yacht builders, Christensen Shipyard in Vancouver, WA. Originally commissioned by a knowledgeable yachtsman with close ties to the shipyard, AMORE has since been maintained in impeccable condition by her current owner, who continues the tradition of excellence by ensuring she is overseen by an exceptional Captain and crew.
Designed by Carol Williams & Associates, AMORE boasts a stunning contemporary interior meticulously handcrafted in-house by Christensen. Among her remarkable features are striking walnut walls and cabinetry, complemented by some of the world's finest marble inlay and stonework.
Her layout comprises six staterooms, including a full beam master stateroom on the main deck and five guest staterooms below, all ensuite. These include a full-beam VIP stateroom, two King guest staterooms, and two guest staterooms featuring a full, a single, and a Pullman berth, accommodating up to 16 guests in luxurious comfort.
Equipped with an elevator accessing all four decks, from the guest cabins to the sun deck, AMORE offers unparalleled convenience and accessibility. Built to ABS class, she is eligible for private or commercial registration, enabling chartering worldwide. Her flexible layout, elevator access, and impeccable service have made her a highly sought-after charter vessel.
AMORE has been meticulously maintained and enhanced throughout her lifespan, reflecting exceptional ownership committed to upholding the highest standards. Currently undergoing a comprehensive top-to-bottom paint job and full shipyard service, she will soon be primed for her new owners to embark on years of exploration and enjoyment.
Offering a stellar pedigree, superb fit and finish, six staterooms, expansive outdoor deck spaces, elevator access to all levels, and a range exceeding 4000 nautical miles, AMORE presents an outstanding opportunity for discerning buyers seeking uncompromising quality and luxury.
