The world of luxury yachting is poised to welcome a new icon with the arrival of Project Tanzanite, a 120-meter masterpiece set to be delivered in 2025. Originally commissioned in 2020, this extraordinary vessel is not only the largest yacht ever built by Amels but also currently the largest superyacht under construction in the Netherlands. Project Tanzanite represents the pinnacle of yacht-building excellence, blending innovative design, cutting-edge technology, and a deep respect for the maritime tradition.
A Design That Captivates
The exterior design of Project Tanzanite is the brainchild of Espen Øino, one of the most revered names in yacht design. His vision for the vessel is immediately apparent in its sharp, linear aesthetic—a signature style that exudes sophistication and modernity. One of the most striking features of Project Tanzanite is the diagonal ventilation line midships, a clever fusion of functionality and beauty. This design element not only serves a practical purpose but also reinforces the yacht’s sleek, uncluttered look, making it a standout wherever it sails.
Large windows dominate the exterior, bringing the outside in and fostering an intimate connection with the sea. These expansive glass panes are set against a backdrop of spacious decks, creating airy, light-filled spaces that invite guests to relax and enjoy the breathtaking views.

Luxurious Interiors by Zuretti Design
Step inside Project Tanzanite, and you’ll find a world of refined elegance crafted by the esteemed Zuretti Design. The interior is a delicate balance of subtlety and boldness, with sumptuous materials and finishes that elevate the onboard experience to new heights. Every detail has been meticulously curated, showcasing an unwavering commitment to perfection. The result is an environment that is both luxurious and welcoming, offering a seamless blend of comfort and sophistication.
Cutting-Edge Specifications
Project Tanzanite is not just about aesthetics; it is a marvel of modern engineering. At 120 meters (393.70 feet) in length and with a beam of 17 meters (55.77 feet), this superyacht is a true giant of the seas. It can accommodate up to 22 guests in unparalleled luxury, attended by a dedicated crew of 43, including the captain.
But what truly sets Project Tanzanite apart is its innovative approach to propulsion. The yacht will be powered by a diesel-electric system driving Kongsberg Elegance® pods, designed to minimize environmental impact. This system is engineered to achieve the lowest levels of noise and vibration ever recorded on a yacht of this size, ensuring a serene experience for all on board.
The Future Flagship of Amels
Upon its delivery in 2025, Project Tanzanite will assume its role as the flagship of the Amels fleet. This vessel is a testament to the brand’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of what is possible in yacht design and construction. Its arrival at the Amels main outfitting facility in Vlissingen followed a spectacular launch in May 2023, marking a significant milestone in its journey to completion.
As Project Tanzanite prepares to make its debut, it is set to redefine luxury yachting, offering an unparalleled blend of design, comfort, and technological innovation. This superyacht is not just a vessel; it is a statement—a symbol of what can be achieved when artistry and engineering come together in perfect harmony. The world awaits her arrival with great anticipation.
