GIGAGI Motor yacht for sale

The 55m (180.4ft) GIGAGI has a steel hull and aluminium superstructure built to Lloyd’s classification by Dutch shipyard Amels and delivered in 2016. Hull #19 of the celebrated Amels 180 Limited Editions series, the yacht’s exterior styling is by Tim Heywood and Laura Sessa oversaw a full interior restyling and exterior remodelling in 2021.

Currently operating privately (but previously a highly successful charter yacht as ELIXIR), she has many guest-pleasing features. The expansive sun deck has a helipad forward, which doubles as a sun lounge. Aft of that is a huge sunpad at the front of a seven-person jacuzzi.

Beneath the hardtop there is a sit-up wet bar that doubles as a dinette when the chef is at the BBQ to port, and a lounge with two sofas either side of a coffee table. Aft is a large sunbed.

On the bridge deck aft there is an oval table for open-air dining shaded by the overhang and aft there are two L-shaped sun lounges with optional shade from removable awnings.

On the main deck aft there is a lounge with a sofa beneath the overhang opposite banquette seating in the sun with a coffee table in between and club chairs either side. From the main deck aft the starboard sidedeck provides access to the dayhead off the main lobby and steps lead down to the large swim platform with its hydraulic bathing steps. From the swim platform steps lead down into the beach club, which has a shower, sauna and dayhead.

Moving inside from the main deck aft there is a fully equipped walk-up bar to port and sterps down to the lower deck guest accommodation. Forward of that is a lounge with sofas and armchairs arranged around a coffee table and a formal dining area. Either side of the dining table, sliding glass doors provide sidedeck access and two fold-down balconies deliver that ocean-side verandah experience and a great space to withdraw with coffee after dinner.

The bridge deck sky lounge has a large lounge area, which is perfectly positioned to watch movies on a 110in bulkhead mounted TV. From the bridge deck lobby, access to the sidedeck leads forward to a Portuguese bridge lounge and two double sunpads. Forward of that is the forward mooring area and tender and toy stowage with a deck crane for launching.

GIGAGI welcomes up to 12 guests in five suites. The full-beam owner’s suite is forward on the main deck and features a double berth to port, media lounge to starboard and a very large fold-out balcony. Moving aft from the berth there is an en suite with shower and bathtub and a walk-in wardrobe with vanity table. To starboard is a spacious owner’s office. The lower deck accommodation has two double cabins and two twin cabins, each twin has an additional berth.

Twin 1,400hp MTU diesel engines give her a top speed of 15 knots and a range of 4,500nm at 13 knots. Naiad zero speed stabilisers ensure comfort on arrival.
