Mirage, formerly Mirage, is an 89-metre motor yacht built by Amels and delivered in 2016. She is the only Amels Limited Editions 272 model and is one of the most important large yachts delivered by the Dutch builder.
The yacht was designed by Tim Heywood, with interior design by Winch Design. Her profile is elegant and balanced, with long exterior lines, a formal superstructure and generous deck spaces. She reflects the Amels approach of combining proven engineering with high levels of owner customisation.
Mirage was later extended and refitted, increasing her length from around 83 metres to approximately 89 metres. The refit enhanced her deck spaces, guest amenities and overall presence, making her one of the largest and most capable yachts associated with the Amels Limited Editions platform.
Public specifications list accommodation for up to 20 guests in 10 cabins, supported by around 27 crew. Her facilities include extensive guest lounges, large exterior decks, pool and wellness spaces, beach club arrangements and long-range cruising capability.
The yacht has been publicly active in the brokerage market and was reported sold in January 2026. As a result, current ownership should be treated carefully unless confirmed by direct sources or the appointed representatives.
Mirage is significant as a high-volume, Dutch-built superyacht with a strong charter and private cruising profile. Her scale, Amels pedigree, Tim Heywood design and major refit history make her one of the standout yachts in the modern Amels fleet.
