Amira is a 1933 Motor Yacht designed by architect O.M. Watts. It is classified as BIP (building of heritage interest). Its sturdy structure is built on 3 levels of ribs and 40 planks. This boat, with a rich history, is believed to have participated in Operation DYNAMO at Dunkirk in 1940 for the re-embarkation of British troops. It has undergone several refits since its construction, and a large part of its history is available upon request. Since 2018, the hull has been completely stripped over two-thirds of its length, the engine and water tanks have been removed. Some floors and frames have been replaced, and the floors have been steamed, bent, and riveted with copper rivets. Amira sails every year with its owners on cruises combining the comfort and charm of vintage boats. It has a mooring berth. Visits possible every day by appointment.
