A landmark moment arrives for yachting enthusiasts as the legendary 348-foot Amadea superyacht is heading to auction this September.
Amadea Heads to Auction with National Maritime Services
One of the world’s most celebrated superyachts, Amadea, will be sold through a sealed-bid auction on September 10, 2025, administered by National Maritime Services of Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The auction follows a U.S. Federal District Court Forfeiture Order (Southern District of New York, Case 1:23-cv 09304) and features Fraser Yachts as its promotional agent.
Superyacht Highlights
Built by Lürssen Yachts in 2017, Amadea is admired for her elegant lines by Espen Øino and an opulent interior by Zuretti. International yachting publications like Boat International and Yachting Soul describe the vessel as a “masterpiece” with “astonishingly detailed finishes.”
With eight spacious staterooms, an infinity pool, helicopter pad, two elevators, owner and guest spas, dynamic positioning, and an 8,000 nautical mile cruising range, Amadea boasts unrivaled amenities for luxury and performance.
A Yacht with a Notable History
Amadea was seized in Fiji by U.S. agents in June 2022 and is currently under the care of the United States Marshals Service. The vessel will be delivered “as-is, where-is” from San Diego, California to the winning bidder.
Auction Details and How to Bid
Prospective buyers are required to submit a $10 million deposit and register for a comprehensive pre-bid package. Viewings are available by appointment. Full auction details and registration can be found at AmadeaAuction.com.

Bob Toney, Chairman of National Maritime Services, observed,
“This is perhaps the most spectacular, exacting and beautiful ship any of us will ever see. An opportunity like this for discerning owners is exceedingly rare – maybe once in a lifetime.”
