A note from your charter specialist
I've been on board AMARYLLIS more times than I can count, and she still surprises me. The 78.5m Abeking & Rasmussen build hits a sweet spot — big enough to feel like a private floating villa, intimate enough that the crew remembers how you take your morning coffee by day two. In East Mediterranean especially, the itinerary options around her are exceptional — and the crew know every anchorage worth the detour.

Ownership economics

What a yacht like AMARYLLIS costs to own — not just to charter

A charter week on AMARYLLIS is a fixed, all-in number. Ownership of a 79m yacht in this class is a five-year commitment — crew payroll, insurance, class and refit reserves, berthing and depreciation. Our yacht ownership vs charter vs fractional ownership study runs the real five-year cost of a €15 million yacht against the equivalent charter spend, and the most profitable yachts for owners ranking shows how much of that stack charter revenue actually recovers.
