The story of the making of superyacht ENGELBERG was a team effort, starting with OCEAN Independence Zurich head office selecting Jeroen Minnema in Antibes as the broker. With the right measures of enthusiasm and diligence he then researched and reviewed the options that would interest the client.

The Amels 180 was a great fit, the calibre of the shipyard’s work and clear reporting systems made them quickly the front runners, coupled with the scope for customisation with the Limited Editions 180 concept. Those involved also included; designers, engineers, project managers and the design team from Enea, the famed Swiss landscape architect and interior designers who, in close collaboration with Mrs Inga Jacobi, created the unique interior of this highly customised and intelligently designed Amels 180.

A co-operation that will continue with the operational management of ENGELBERG yacht after delivery.
