MERCURY Yacht Description
Primary headline feature: MERCURY is a 50m Amels with a genuinely huge sun deck, a full‑size deck Jacuzzi and enough open space fore and aft of the mast arch to run a family holiday, a workout session and a cocktail party at the same time without anyone colliding.
Built to go places, not just sit pretty. Dutch‑built, long‑range and zero‑speed stabilised, MERCURY is set up for actual passages in comfort, not 2‑hour bay hops. She sleeps up to 12 guests in 5 cabins, with the master on the main deck and a family‑friendly lower deck layout, all wrapped in an award‑winning Terence Disdale / Reymond Langton interior that feels like a considered design project, not a furniture warehouse.
Outside is where MERCURY breaks the grid. Oversized decks, custom shading canopies and multiple alfresco dining zones mean you can eat, work and hide from your relatives in different time zones of the same yacht. The custom 22ft tender is built to move people and toys efficiently, not just look shiny on the brochure.
Water‑toy department: fully armed. Three Jet Skis (including a stand‑up), Seabobs, wakeboards, water‑skis, paddleboards, kayaks, towables, snorkelling and fishing kit – plus RYA approval so the crew can actually teach guests to use them properly. Translation: fewer liability disclaimers, more time on the throttle.
Why charter MERCURY instead of the next 50m on your list: proven Amels platform, long‑range hull, child‑friendly layout, serious stabilisers, gym, deck Jacuzzi and a toy list that matches bigger yachts – all run by a large crew set up for family and multi‑generation charters. If your brief is “real cruising, real comfort, lots of outside space”, this one fits the spec sheet a bit too perfectly.

Price Terms
Plus Expenses - add APA to the price you see
Plus Expenses arrangement includes the boat and crew only (without tip).
All additional/variable expenses such as Gas and Food are deducted from an Advance Provisioning Allowance (APA) - an additional deposit that is added on top of the charter price.
The expenses, such as provisioning, fuel, marina fees, are deducted from the APA. The APA is based on the price of the yacht and ranges from 15% (crewed sailing yachts) to 30% (motor yachts with higher fuel consumption).
For a motor yacht like MERCURY, the expected APA is 25% to 40% of the charter price (€42,500 - €68,000), making the charter cost €212,500 to €238,000. Exact amount will be confirmed after inquiry.
You can actively control these expenses in your preference sheet (local vs. imported beverages) and by choice of itinerary (distances traveled).
The remainder of the APA is returned after charter.
