46.3m Royal Hakvoort AMICA MEA Reduced €1.072m Ahead of Monaco Yacht Show

The 46.33m Royal Hakvoort AMICA MEA has received a €1.072 million price reduction ahead of the 2026 Monaco Yacht Show. Northrop & Johnson's official show lineup currently lists the 2004-built yacht at $19.5 million after substantial technical work completed from 2023 to 2025.

The 46.33-metre Royal Hakvoort Shipyard motor yacht AMICA MEA has received a €1.072 million price reduction ahead of the Monaco Yacht Show 2026. Northrop & Johnson announced the adjustment on 3 September 2026, while the brokerage's official Cannes and Monaco show lineup currently lists the 2004-built yacht at an asking price of $19.5 million.

The two figures are being reported exactly as Northrop & Johnson publishes them rather than treated as an implied currency conversion. The €1.072 million reduction comes from the dated brokerage announcement, while the $19.5 million figure comes from the company's current official show-lineup page and remains an asking price rather than evidence of a completed transaction.

A 499 GT Dutch displacement yacht

AMICA MEA was delivered by Royal Hakvoort Shipyard in 2004 and has a full-displacement steel hull with an aluminium superstructure. The current Northrop & Johnson listing records 499 GT of internal volume, with Vripack responsible for naval architecture and Glade Johnson Design credited for the yacht's exterior and interior design.

Accommodation is arranged for 11 guests in five cabins, including a main-deck owner's suite, with quarters for up to nine crew. The yacht's displacement configuration and quoted 4,500-nautical-mile range place long-distance cruising at the centre of the design rather than high-speed performance.

A 20-year Lloyd's survey completed in 2024

Northrop & Johnson states that AMICA MEA completed her 20-year Lloyd's survey in 2024. That survey sits within a wider programme of technical work carried out from 2023 through 2025, giving buyers a more recent maintenance history to evaluate alongside the yacht's 2004 delivery date.

The brokerage lists a gearbox rebuild, two new watermakers, replacement through-hull valves, servicing of major engine systems, generator overhauls and fuel-tank cleaning and certification among the work completed. Bridge monitors and radar equipment were renewed, new carpeting was fitted throughout, and the Naiad stabilisation system also received upgrades.

Five cabins and extensive exterior living

The five-cabin layout is centred on the main-deck owner's suite, while the remaining guest accommodation is arranged below. Exterior areas include an aft deck configured for alfresco dining and a large sundeck with a Jacuzzi, creating several separate guest spaces across the yacht.

AMICA MEA is also active in the charter market, but the development reported here concerns her sales position ahead of Monaco. The reduction therefore represents a brokerage-market update rather than a charter-rate change, and no completed sale has been announced.

Long-range cruising at 12 knots

Northrop & Johnson quotes a cruising speed of 12 knots and a maximum speed of 14 knots. The full-displacement hull, 4,500-nautical-mile range and Naiad zero-speed stabilisation system reinforce the yacht's long-range cruising brief and place comfort and endurance ahead of outright speed.

The confirmed market development is the €1.072 million reduction announced on 3 September, with Northrop & Johnson's official show-lineup page currently displaying a $19.5 million asking price. Superyacht Guide is keeping those figures in their published currencies and treating the price strictly as an asking price supported by the official price-reduction announcement and current yacht listing.
