00:00Hi, I'm Bill Springer, senior contributor at Forbes.
00:02I'm here at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show
00:05aboard Amigos.
00:06It's an Amos 180, and I'm so excited to show it to you
00:10because it has two master staterooms that
00:13are absolutely off the charts.
00:16All right, so here we are.
00:17We're in the main salon.
00:18Tell us a little bit about this.
00:20Yeah, main salon, right in front of you, the formal dining.
00:23Beautiful woodwork throughout the yacht.
00:26Amos is just known for building boats that work.
00:28You know what you're getting.
00:29It's a known product.
00:31It's well-built.
00:32It takes so many boxes for so many people.
00:33Specifically here in the main salon, what is interesting,
00:36you've got both sliding doors slide open.
00:39And on both sides, you can open the bulwarks, or balconies.
00:42So you can create a natural airflow here, should you wish.
00:46The original owner was building the boat.
00:47He literally ticked off every box in the optional list
00:50because these are all extras.
00:52These are not in the standard spec.
00:54Even though she is part of a semi-custom series,
00:56he customized a lot.
00:57Tell us about what a semi-custom series means.
01:00So it's basically an existing platform
01:02that you can not change certain things.
01:05For example, the hull shape and the shape
01:06of the superstructure are the way they are.
01:08But you can change bulkheads.
01:09You can change fabrics.
01:11You can change options.
01:12You can add TVs.
01:14You can change all those kind of things.
01:16And the semi-custom platform allows a owner
01:19to get the yacht much quicker, is that right?
01:21Yeah, because Amos, their business model
01:23is starting the boat on speculation, to their own risk.
01:26They start the build and they are normally
01:28always finding a buyer during the building process.
01:31We're here on the lower deck.
01:32Four cabins here, two doubles and two twin singles.
01:35So in total, she does sleep 12 plus one guests
01:39in six cabins.
01:40They're all R and suite as well.
01:42You've got beautiful bathrooms as well throughout.
01:45So this is on the Amos series, the 180 series.
01:48This is like a flexible area.
01:50You can turn this into a massage room.
01:52You can make an extra cabin.
01:53You can make an office.
01:55This is basically a gym, which has got and suite facilities.
01:58And it's also got a bunk bed, which is folded out.
02:02So it could be used as a nanny cabin as well.
02:05And the second owner's cabin starts here.
02:07A little office space here.
02:10And here on your right side,
02:11you have the folding down balcony.
02:13Nice big bathroom.
02:15Then the walk-in wardrobe.
02:17So here we are actually in the master stateroom,
02:19which is a full beam private area.
02:22This is the only Amos 180 with this layout.
02:25So that makes it truly special.
02:26You know, obviously it was a very big change order
02:28during our build,
02:29because this is normally where your Skylounge is.
02:31Something which makes this boat very special
02:33is that you've got extended decks.
02:35So you've got plenty of space.
02:36You can either use it as a private deck
02:38or you can just use it as a common space
02:40for the rest of the boat and the rest of the guests.
02:43So moving up, we go into the sun deck,
02:45which you will see is best in class.
02:48It's around 28 meters in length.
02:50And then we've got this massive jacuzzi.
02:53And on top of that, we've got a helipad up to 2000 kilos.
02:58Great big swim platform for water sports.
03:00We're basically here in the beach club,
03:01where you've got a steam room over there
03:04and a day head and a separate shower.
03:05Extremely flexible, usable, capable world cruising vessel.
03:11After touring the Amos 180 Amigos
03:13here at the Fort Lauderdale Boat Show,
03:15all I can say is the next person who gets to charter
03:18or own this boat is gonna be in for a treat.
