Yacht for sale is a 2008 AMELS 171' 8" "WERE DREAMS" Amels 171 Limited Edition Motor Yacht in Cannes, Provence-Alpes-Cote-d'Azur, France.

Welcome aboard WERE DREAMS, a magnificent 52-meter yacht crafted by the renowned Amels Shipyard in the Netherlands. This vessel is a testament to exceptional yachtmanship, operating at the highest standards. As one of a mere 100 Amels yachts in existence, WERE DREAMS presents an extraordinary chance to acquire a timeless icon of the shipyard’s legacy.

At 52.3 meters in length with a generous beam of 9.8 meters, WERE DREAMS boasts an impressive 642 gross tons of volume. She offers luxurious accommodation for up to 11 guests across 6 beautifully appointed cabins, including an expansive full-beam owner’s suite on the main deck. With space for 13 crew members, she is meticulously designed to provide seamless service and comfort at sea.

WERE DREAMS has been meticulously maintained and exclusively used privately by her current owners, who acquired the yacht in 2011. Since then, she has completed numerous ocean crossings — including both the Atlantic and the Pacific — demonstrating her outstanding quality and reliability.

Over the years of ownership, significant upgrades have been carried out: the hull was repainted in 2018, the superstructure in 2023, the generators were overhauled in 2024, and all navigation equipment was updated in 2024.

What distinguishes Amels yachts from other brands is their remarkably quiet navigation — giving the sensation that the yacht glides through the water with no noise or vibration. The superior hull stability, proven reliability of all systems, and exceptional craftsmanship throughout the vessel make WERE DREAMS a truly outstanding choice for those seeking comfort, safety, and timeless elegance at sea.
