Torrens Luxury Collection is honored to present 180′ Amels “SAMIRA“, a 55-metre custom-built masterpiece from the renowned Dutch shipyard Amels (delivered 2003), styled inside and out by the celebrated designer Terence Disdale. With a full-steel hull and aluminium superstructure, she stands as a timeless example of Dutch craftsmanship fused with refined, modern elegance.
Elegant Craftsmanship & Engineering
Crafted in steel with an aluminium superstructure, “SAMIRA” features a beam of approximately 9.6 m (≈31’6”) and a draft of ~3.12 m (≈10’2”) – generous dimensions for her class, offering both stability and spaciousness aboard. Her gross tonnage of 802 GT places her among the largest 55-metre yachts globally, delivering internal volumes and deck areas more commonly found on larger platforms. Designed for enduring capability, “SAMIRA” holds a proven long-range profile of around 4,000 nautical miles at cruising speed – an impressive benchmark in the 55-metre category.
Recent Refit & Present Condition
Delivered in 2003, “SAMIRA” has been meticulously maintained and enhanced, with extensive refit works spanning 2021–2025 (part of this major investment totalling near €16 million), ensuring she remains fully turnkey and presented in immaculate condition. Every detail – from hull integrity to interior finish, decks and on-board systems – has been polished to superyacht standard, ready for immediate cruising or charter deployment.
Accommodation & Interior Layout
“SAMIRA” accommodates up to 12 guests across five beautifully appointed suites, serviced by a crew of 13 to deliver a professional, discreet level of service.
The full-beam master suite is located on the main deck – a generous owner’s domain offering panoramic views, dual dressing areas, and an adjacent private study/office (convertible into a children’s cabin or massage room) for enhanced flexibility.
A VIP suite and three further double guest cabins (two of which incorporate an extra single berth) reside on the lower deck, each with en-suite facilities.
Public living spaces are characterised by a bright, open ambience – large panoramic windows flood the saloon and formal dining area with natural light, and the fold-down port-side balcony opens the dining space directly to the sea. The interior palette is timeless yet contemporary, with subtle elegance and high-end finishes typical of Disdale’s signature.
Exterior & Deck Areas
Among the most compelling features of “SAMIRA” are her expansive deck zones:
The main deck aft flows seamlessly from interior spaces out to alfresco dining and lounging – perfect for relaxed afternoons or glamorous evenings beneath the stars.
The sun deck is truly remarkable and one of the largest in the 55-metre class: offering panoramic views, generous sun-lounging zones, shaded dining options, and the flexibility to entertain large guest groups.
A full-width swim platform at the stern and a dedicated lazarette provide direct sea access and ample storage for tenders and water toys.
Performance & Capabilities
“SAMIRA”‘s engineering and systems deliver a superb balance of performance, efficiency, and comfort.
Propelled by twin Caterpillar 3512B diesel engines delivering a combined output of approximately 2,610 kW (≈3,500 hp), she comfortably cruises at about 11 knots with a top speed of approximately 16 knots, depending on conditions.
Fuel capacity stands at around 99,600 litres, supporting her long-range capability of 4,000 nautical miles, while her fresh water capacity is approximately 29,100 litres.
With a full-displacement hull form, stabilisers at anchor and underway, and heavy-duty systems, “SAMIRA” offers a smooth, quiet, and comfortable ride whether cruising offshore or at anchor.
Systems, Amenities & Yacht Lifestyle
Why “SAMIRA” Stands Out
In the 55-metre market, “SAMIRA” distinguishes herself through a rare combination of size, volume, condition, and pedigree. Her 802 GT volume is notably higher than typical yachts of similar length, granting her truly generous interior and exterior proportions. Her refit pedigree – with significant works completed between 2021 and 2025 – ensures she is ready for immediate cruising or charter, without deferred maintenance.
Her design and layout deliver both formal elegance and a relaxed lifestyle – a dual-purpose yacht perfectly suited for family enjoyment or luxury charter operation.
“SAMIRA” is far more than a yacht – she is a highly refined expression of Dutch naval architecture and timeless design. With her generous volume, turnkey refit condition, and proven transoceanic range, she offers the ideal blend of elegance, capability, and comfort. Whether envisioned as a private family flagship or as an elite charter vessel, “SAMIRA” delivers on every level – a rare opportunity in the 55-metre superyacht class.
