Amer Yachts launches the world’s largest superyacht with Volvo Penta IPS


talian shipbuilder Amer Yachts is launching a #superyacht powered by Volvo Penta’s state-of-the-art Inboard Performance System (IPS). The latest edition to the brand’s series of luxury leisure craft will be the largest #superyacht in the world to be powered by #volvopenta IPS.

The Amer 100 follows the successful launch by Amer Yachts last year of a 94ft boat which was also powered by Volvo Penta’s ingenious propulsion system. As a development from the 2015 boat, which has triple IPS installation, the new #superyacht will be installed with #volvopenta IPS Quad (quadruple drives), providing increased power to the larger, luxurious boat.

“After the success of our 94ft boat last year, which our customers loved, we wanted to create an even bigger and better #yacht,” says Barbara Amerio, owner of Amer Yachts. “Using Volvo Penta’s IPS offers great performance and onboard comfort for customers and it has generated a lot of interest for us in the market, internationally. We’re delighted to break the record for making the largest boat in the #superyacht sector which uses IPS, and the demand for it has come from customers who have said they want a boat of this size with this system.”

The Amer 100 is available in two models, Sport (for planing) and Long Range (for semi-planing). The 100ft #yacht has three decks and is spacious enough to accommodate five en-suite cabins, a living/dining room, study, three crew quarters, a well equipped kitchen and a laundry, and several external areas for sunbathing and relaxation. Interior design can be customized to suit the customer’s preferences, and options include a swimming pool or jacuzzi on deck. The #superyacht is designed to appeal to the discerning individual buyer and the charter market – both of which want excellent performance, luxury onboard facilities and high quality finishes.
