Amer Yachts 42A: A new build made entirely of aluminium

With these new designs, the Italian shipyard is pursuing two parallel lines of development. The first three models are being developed in collaboration with the Milan-based design studio AOUMM and mark a new direction in composite construction. The Amer 42A is being developed by Antonio Luxardo of Optima Design. 70 metres from Amer Yachts

All the new yachts share a focus on weight reduction and efficiency. The shipyard has been using Volvo Penta IPS systems for more than ten years. All models are designed for different usage profiles, including charter operations.

New design for the Amer Yachts 42A

Antonio Luxardo is developing the 42-metre design for the shipyard’s new steel production line. Aluminium reduces the overall weight and improves performance, enabling higher speeds to be achieved with greater efficiency.

The design features a sporty, dynamic character with a low profile. Lightweight materials reduce drag and optimise handling.
