About the Yacht
STEP ONE embodies the strength, reliability, and sophistication expected from the acclaimed Amels 180 Limited Editions series. Built on a platform trusted by experienced global cruisers, she offers a rare combination of pedigree and readiness, shaped by meticulous private ownership and significant recent upgrades. Her comprehensive repaint and technical enhancements place her firmly in turnkey condition, eliminating uncertainty and ensuring confidence from the moment of acquisition.
Designed for owners who value true range and outdoor living, STEP ONE delivers exceptional versatility. Her expansive split-level sun deck stands among the most generous in her class, offering elevated privacy, panoramic views, and dedicated zones for dining, relaxation, and entertainment. With a touch-and-go helipad, beach club, steam room, and a well-equipped toy garage, she provides a lifestyle experience far beyond what is typically found in the 55m segment.
Inside, Laura Sessa Romboli's light-filled interiors create a welcoming atmosphere ideal for both family cruising and guest hospitality. Accommodation for up to 12 guests, paired with professional crew capacity, ensures seamless long-range operation. STEP ONE is a refined, capable, and intelligently upgraded yacht built for owners who expect more from every mile.
