The Majestic 47.9-metre Christensen Motor Yacht Amore Now up for Sale

The ‘Amore’, an exquisite product of US yard Christensen, is now on the brokerage market. Built in 2005, this premium motor yacht offers an experience of a lifetime to its dwellers. Amore was constructed under the astute supervision of a well-versed yachtsman having close connections with the shipyard.

The magnificence of the yacht lay in her construction, an in-house design crafted in GRP and beautiful interiors by Carol Williamson & Associates. The cabin, featuring walnut walls, hosts world-class marble inlay and stonework. Recently, Amore claimed a price tag of $19,500,000.
