SHEERGOLD Yacht Description
M/Y Sheergold, 42 m (137'10"), was constructed by Amels at their Makkum shipyard in the Netherlands and delivered in 1987. The yacht's interior and exterior were both designed by the renowned English design firm Bannenberg & Rowell. Sheergold underwent a comprehensive refit in 2024, ensuring her facilities and aesthetics are up-to-date. Sheergold offers comfortable accommodation for up to eight guests across four suites, including a VIP cabin. The yacht is also staffed by a dedicated crew of nine, ensuring a relaxed and luxurious experience for all guests.
Advertised by DMA Yachting, the astonishing charter yacht SHEERGOLD is a 137 ft motor yacht. The most attractive features of SHEERGOLD are her generous space and fantastic layout. SHEERGOLD spends the summer season in France. She was delivered by the well-known ship builder Amels in 1987. A well-done refit was completed in 2024. The expansive yacht layout features 4 large cabins and easily accommodates up to 10 guests.
SHEERGOLD is classified as a superyacht. The key part of the yacht, inviting aft deck, is right next to the the heart of the yacht - the main saloon. The main saloon is a comfortable space to spend time when the aft deck might not be as desirable (at port, private conversations) and enables a number of media entertainment options. 4 comfortable cabins are thoughtfully spread out to allow for comfortable access and private setting.

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 SHEERGOLD, the expected APA is 25% to 40% of the charter price (€31,250 - €50,000), making the charter cost €156,250 to €175,000. 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.
