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.’

Ilona Gets a Makeover at Amels

• By Diane M. Byrne
• Updated: June 20, 2012

Five years after taking delivery, the owner of the Amels -built megayacht Ilona wanted more. Specifically, he wanted more ways of making his megayacht more enjoyable. An eight-month stay at Amels, which wrapped up last month and which marked the yard’s 37th refit, made it happen. And in the words of Kenan Seginer, her captain, “The boss is very happy.”

The main projects for the 243-foot (74-meter) Ilona were the creation of a swimming pool and a new helipad. The pool is aft, where the former helipad/hangar area was. If you’re familiar with the megayacht_,_ recall that she was built with an innovative helicopter hanger below decks. When needed for use, the helicopter rose to deck level on a platform, while deck hatches opened to reveal her. Those same hatches folded back in place to align with the platform to form a helipad. Since the owner wanted the new pool here, Amels removed the hangar.

It’s not “just” a pool, however. _Ilona’_s new water retreat measures 33 feet (10.5 meters) long by about 10 feet (3 meters) wide. Furthermore, it has a floor that can rise from its five-foot (1.5-meter) depth after the water is drained to meet the level of the deck. (The pool holds 10,567 gallons, or 40,000 liters, of filtrated and heated sea water, by the way.) This way, the area can handle a large party or other need.

Since the owner has a different helicopter now, he still wanted Ilona to have a helipad. Amels’ in-house team decided to extend the overhang of her uppermost superstructure level. To save time, it was constructed independent of the yacht, then attached. Of course, an extension such as this would make the original profile look unbalanced. Therefore, Redman Whiteley Dixon , which styled Ilona when she was first commissioned, recommended also extending the owner’s deck and the bridge deck. They each gained about six and a half feet (2 meters). To keep the helipad from detracting aesthetically from them, it’s painted grey.

Major refit on 73.7m superyacht Ilona completed by Amels

Reported to be at the Amels yard last August for a major refit, the 73.7m motor yacht Ilona was recently spotted on the Côte d'Azur, showing her new face.

Ilona was launched by Amels in 2004 to a design by Redman Whiteley Dixon and turned many heads with her special helicopter garage in the aft deck. But after cruising her extensively around the world, her owner decided it was time to make some changes. 'The owner wanted to have a large swimming pool and a helipad large enough to take his Agusta 109 Grand New helicopter,' says David McQueen, the owner's representative.

The plan swung into action with pre-engineering and manufacturing works done in advance so that the refit could be completed in record time once the yacht arrived at the yard.

In place of the helicopter garage a large 10m by 3m swimming pool was created with a movable floor and a maximum depth of 1.5m. The 40,000 litres of sea water necessary to fill it are purified and 'can be heated to up to 6 degrees higher than the original sea temperature in just one hour,' adds McQueen.

The addition of the new helipad posed a real challenge to preserve the sleek original design of Redman Whiteley Dixon. As Justin Redman explains, 'Adding the additional superstructure to accommodate the helipad would have affected the lines of the yacht, so we extended the owner’s deck and the bridge deck by 2 metres in order to bring the aesthetic appearance back into balance. We also used metallic grey paint to reduce the visual impact of the helideck, and the overall result is that the yacht, despite all the changes, looks every bit as streamlined and well-proportioned as before.'

The 37th refit by the dedicated Amels Refit Department was a real success, as confirmed by Ilona 's captain, Kenan Seginer: 'I really like Amels , they’re very friendly and great to work with. They’ve done a wonderful job with Ilona , and the after-sales team is excellent. The boss is very happy, and any work we need doing in the future, for sure we’ll be coming back to Amels again.'

The refit was completed ahead of schedule on 16 May 2012, and the yacht arrived in Antibes few weeks later, ready in time for the coming season.
