ILONA

Timeless class

Designed by RWD, ILONA is a technical and aesthetic marvel. In her first 10 years at sea, this 74-metre covered almost 150,000 nautical miles, taking her to all corners of the globe. For her extensive refit by Amels Refit in 2012, the previous below-decks helipad hangar was replaced by a large swimming pool with movable floor, while a new helipad was created on the top deck aft. With plenty of accommodation and a 30-metre Owners Deck, ILONA is built for luxury as well as adventure.

Justin Redman

‘This was a wonderful, challenging project for us all. To be lucky enough to get a brief for something so different is a truly great joy. It’s also an added pleasure that the 73-metre ILONA was delivered to the owner on his 73rd birthday, as a sort of present to himself and his wife.’

Each side of motor yacht Ilona houses a 9.5-metre tender concealed in its own bay, and a foldaway beach at water level. 65 underwater lamps provide lighting for the night-time. Inside, every comfort that one can possibly imagine on a yacht is provided – even a cinema. Lined on the inside with mahogany by a master carpenter, she can accommodate 16 persons in six guest cabins and there are 13 cabins for the crew.

Superyacht Ilona, which sails with an Australian flag, has won numerous design and technology awards, her most outstanding feature being her elegantly proportioned lines and curves. So, naturally, refitting her is a job for highly skilled specialists.
