West Mediterranean availability

IYC is listing the 52.3-metre Amels motor yacht LIND for West Mediterranean charter from €285,000 per week plus expenses. The current programme names Spain, France and Italy, with the broker showing the late-September 2026 period as the active regional window.

The listing is a current charter offer rather than a new delivery announcement. Rates and cruising areas can change with availability, but the published programme confirms LIND’s position in the upper end of the Mediterranean charter market following her 2025 refit.

Amels pedigree and 2025 refit

LIND was built by Amels in 2010 and is listed by IYC as having completed a refit in 2025. The yacht measures 52.3 metres overall, has a reported maximum speed of 15 knots and cruises at around 11.5 knots.

Tim Heywood is credited with the exterior design on the current charter material, while the yacht’s layout combines substantial guest spaces with the robust long-range platform associated with this generation of Amels yachts. Zero-speed stabilisers are fitted to improve comfort while the vessel is at anchor.

Five cabins for eleven guests

The yacht accommodates up to 11 guests across five cabins, with a full-beam master suite incorporating a private office, lounge area and en-suite bathroom. IYC also highlights a large sundeck spa pool, an outdoor cinema arrangement and multiple dining and lounging areas across the exterior decks.

A gym adds a dedicated wellness space, while the watersports inventory includes a rescue tender, personal watercraft, e-foils, SeaBobs, paddleboards and inflatable kayaks. Crew accommodation is listed for 13, supporting the service requirements of the charter operation.

Refit keeps an established yacht active

LIND’s 2025 refit is significant because it places a 2010-built yacht back into the market with refreshed technical and guest-facing capability. The current listing does not present the work as a new construction milestone, but it does show the continuing commercial life of a well-established Amels platform.

For charter clients, the relevant figure is the €285,000 weekly starting rate currently published for the West Mediterranean. For the wider market, the listing is another example of older pedigree yachts remaining competitive through substantial refit cycles.
