Discovering the Elegant Adventures of Netto II
The skies may have been ominous during her sea trials, but the superyacht Netto II has quickly navigated its way to sunny shores. After making several captivating stops in UK and European ports shortly following her delivery, this stunning vessel is now basking in the Mediterranean sun. With her playful blue hull, Netto II exudes vibrancy, mirroring the personality of her owner—an adventurous and spirited cruiser.
A Family-Friendly Design
As hull number two in the acclaimed Amels 80 series, this Damen Yachting masterpiece is particularly designed for an “adventurous young family with a love of life on and in the water.” Jan van Hogerwou, who oversees U.S. operations for Damen Yachting, emphasizes the yacht’s focus on family and fun. Captain Fraser Gow, who played a pivotal role in her construction and is currently navigating her through exciting journeys, shares his enthusiasm: “She is a truly remarkable yacht. I cannot wait to take her out onto the open ocean and begin the adventures that lie ahead.”
Spacious Luxury and Comfort
At an impressive 262 feet (80 meters), Netto II provides ample space for family and friends to indulge in unforgettable experiences, complemented by a dedicated crew. This vessel exceeds the luxurious 1:1 crew-to-guest ratio, with 20 skilled professionals attending to the needs of 14 guests. Guests can expect unparalleled comfort, especially when enjoying the beach club, which opens on three sides and features a hammam, sauna, and a state-of-the-art gym. Notably, the beach club also boasts a skylight that showcases the main-deck pool, stretching an inviting 21 feet (6.5 meters) in length.
Alfresco Indulgence
The sundeck presents another layer of luxury, encompassing a sprawling 2,153-square-foot (200-square-meter) terrace, complete with a generously sized hot tub. Such alfresco amenities complement a stunning interior that is no less captivating. Indeed, Netto II is described as a “floating speakeasy,” featuring a unique area that blends the ambiance of a cocktail lounge and a casino. The owner’s vision was meticulously brought to life by Sinot Yacht Architecture & Design, ensuring that every detail resonates with the lavish feeling of a 1960s-era casino.
Elegant Accommodations
Restful nights on Netto II come courtesy of seven luxurious suites, which include an expansive 5,565-square-foot (517-square-meter) owner’s deck. The six guest staterooms, strategically located on the main deck, offer breathtaking views, allowing guests to make the most of their time onboard while surrounded by stunning seascapes.
A Legacy of Exploration
“It has been a privilege to bring this experienced owner’s vision to life,” remarks van Hogerwou. Netto II is more than just a yacht; she is equipped for extensive ocean exploration and memorable moments shared with family and friends. Future journeys may very well see her grace the shores of the United States, continuing a legacy established by her predecessor, the Netto. Launched in 2014, the original Netto measured 115 feet (35 meters) and shared the same striking dolphin blue hue, having experienced adventures ranging from the icy waters of Alaska to the sun-kissed shores of Mexico.
