Previous / Project Names

PLVS VLTRA is a 74-metre motor yacht delivered by Amels in 2016 as the first Amels 242 in the Dutch builder's Limited Editions range. The project demonstrates the series' approach: a well-proven technical platform adapted through an individual owner's choice of interior arrangements, materials and personal features.

The yacht's Latin name means 'farther beyond', a reference to the idea of looking past the Pillars of Hercules at the entrance to the Mediterranean. Amels presents that name as an expression of the ambition behind the project. The shipyard identifies Tim Heywood Design as responsible for her exterior, Winch Design for the interior and Damen Yachting for naval architecture.

Amels gives the yacht a length overall of 74.0 metres, a beam of 11.9 metres and a gross tonnage of 1,790. The builder's published performance figures are a maximum speed of 16.5 knots and a range of 5,000 nautical miles at 12.5 knots. As with other shipyard specifications, these are stated performance figures, not a verified voyage log.

PLVS VLTRA belongs to the first generation of Amels 242 yachts. The Limited Editions concept combines repeatable technical systems with a large degree of owner involvement, particularly in the design of guest spaces. Amels credits the yacht with helping to establish the appeal of this 74-metre platform for long-range cruising and an extensive programme of onboard hospitality.

Tim Heywood's recognisable exterior lines are balanced by the quieter interior work of Winch Design. The yacht's generous volume and deck proportions support several distinct guest zones, while the underlying Amels engineering package aims to provide a manageable platform for captain and crew. These qualities explain why the 242 range continued to attract orders in later years, although individual sisterships have their own layouts and must not be used as sources for PLVS VLTRA's guest or crew counts.

Sources, assumptions and methodology

Indicative SYG estimate. Value basis: Length-and-age model using length. Central annual OPEX uses the established 14% of estimated yacht value fallback, adjusted for yacht age where available. Low and high cases reflect utilisation, condition, crewing, fuel, berthing and maintenance uncertainty. Capital reserve is shown separately from routine OPEX. Figures must be replaced or upgraded when reported accounts, invoices, court records or other yacht-specific evidence is available.

Financial figures may include reported expenditure, source-derived calculations and indicative estimates. Estimated figures are not audited accounts, quotations or financial advice.

How to read this history: Superyacht Guide estimates, brokerage asking prices and documented transaction values are stored as separate record types. The first baseline record marks the beginning of permanent Superyacht Guide value-history tracking; the absence of an earlier record does not mean the yacht had no earlier market value or sale history.

Approximate yacht age

10 years

This age range is a useful point to review maintenance history, coatings, machinery service cycles, hotel systems and technology obsolescence. Actual work depends on condition and usage.

Age does not prove that this yacht needs a refit, and no refit cost is inferred from its estimated value.
