ENERGY for sale

Some yachts are destined to break the mould, to find a new path to greatness. The 77.8m (255.2ft) full-custom yacht ENERGY, delivered by Amels in 2022, is one such yacht. ENERGY has a steel hull and aluminium superstructure constructed to Lloyd’s classification and the brief for exterior designer Espen Oeino and interior designer Francois Zuretti was to defy convention and find ways to connect with the ocean. They exceeded all expectations.

The top deck’s helipad forward is a versatile space outside heliops – sun lounge, al fresco yoga studio with wraparound ocean views, a space for elevated entertainment served by the statement bar, assorted lounging areas and dayhead inside. The jacuzzi and sun pads aft allow guests to bask in the sun.

The bridge deck music lounge is designed for acoustic excellence. There is a Steinway baby grand piano and marble-topped bar. The entertainment continues in the open-air lounge aft, guests can find some privacy on the sofa forward of the bridge or keep going on the walkaround sidedecks to appreciate the anchorage from every possible vantage point.

Through full-height glass, the owner’s deck bedroom overlooks, and has direct access to, a private foredeck terrace, which has an intimate lounge beneath the overhang, a jacuzzi and a mesmerising marble firepit amid armchairs and chaises longues. Walkaround sidedecks lead past a private lounge and bar, which opens on three sides to let in the sound and scent of the ocean, to open-air dining for up to 18 guests and one of the largest pools on any yacht, anywhere.

On the main deck, the ocean connection extends to both VIP suites, each of which has full-height sliding glass walls opening onto a private balcony at the forward end of extra-wide sidedecks. Moving aft, inside or out, you pass a boardroom-style office, martial arts room, lobby with lower- to bridge-deck glass elevator, formal dining room, two-tender boat deck and watertoy store, and an intimate waterfall lounge.

Whether your guests arrive at the lower deck’s swim platform or the sea-level lobby, all four lower deck guest cabins, completing accommodation for 14 guests in seven suites across three decks, have step-free access past the beauty salon to the beach club and wellness spa aft. There is a huge sea terrace outside the gym and massage room to port, and to starboard a sauna and hammam either side of a relaxation room with another sea terrace.

Twin 3,046hp MTU diesel engines give her a top speed of 17 knots, and cruising speed of 13.5 knots and an easy transatlantic range of 5,000nm. Two sets of stabilisers ensure comfort on arrival.
