Designed by Omega Architects, luxury superyacht AMORE MIO provides the very rare combination of space, speed, style and safety. Due to be delivered by the end of January 2016, she represents the largest and most powerful sports yacht ever built in the Netherlands.

Run by twin MTU 16V diesel engines, luxury yacht AMORE MIO is a striking performance yacht, expected to achieve a thrilling top speed of 30 knots. Designed by the yard’s in-house naval architects, the semi-displacement aluminium hull ensures both rapid acceleration and smooth power. With a range of 2.750nm AMORE MIO can cross the Mediterranean with ease, or cruise the entire length of the Caribbean from St. Barths to Grenada stopping at as many islands as the owner chooses and on only one tank of fuel.

Moreover, super yacht AMORE MIO (Project NECTO, YN 17145) boasts a unique and ingenious MOB Rapid Reaction System, specially developed by her build captain. In case of man overboard, multiple buttons have been placed around the vessel that, when pressed, will instantly open concealed hatches dropping high-visibility inflatable life rings in the water to both mark the position of the MOB and also serve as a flotation aid. Simultaneously, alarms on the bridge and in the crew areas are sounded, and the location is recorded in the vessel’s chart plotter program. The MOB Rapid Reaction System could be a critical time saver in the rescue chain of events, particularly important for high-speed yachts running at night.
