Exclusive Opportunity: The Superyacht Siblings for Sale

In the world of luxury yachting, few opportunities are as enticing as the chance to own a pair of superyachts that have carved their names into nautical history. Presenting the 180-foot Amels Gene Machine and its accompanying 182-foot Damen Gene Chaser, both these vessels are now gracefully awaiting new owners. These impressive yachts were once under the stewardship of Jonathan Rosenberg, a distinguished geneticist who uniquely utilized the Amels family vessel not only for leisure but as a fulcrum of innovation.

The Gene Machine was refitted in 2019 and is built to accommodate 14 guests and 16 crew, powered by a pair of MTU 16V 2000 M70 diesels. With the ability to cruise at 13 knots and reach a top speed of 15.5 knots, she has traversed waters as remote as the polar regions, offering adventures combined with the prestige of luxury. The price tag for this beauty is set at $36.7 million.

Adding a scientific twist to luxury, the Gene Chaser doubles as a sophisticated floating laboratory. Built by Damen Yachting in 2020, she is powered by quadruple Caterpillar 3512C TA diesels and designed to endure speeds up to 20 knots. Priced at $26.9 million, the vessel can accommodate eight guests, along with the expertise of a crew and additional staff. This masterpiece exemplifies versatility, ideal for scientific exploration or entertaining guests.

Rosenberg’s vision transformed the superyacht's lounge into a laboratory equipped with 3D printers and molecular biology tools, resonating the essence of creativity and progress—innovations such as a Covid-19 home test found its birth here. Though he describes Gene Machine akin to a Four Seasons experience, Gene Chaser is more of a Holiday Inn Express, inviting a blend of comfort and functionality.

Whether discerning buyers indulge in these vessels together or as separate acquisitions, the possibilities are endless. Potential future owners can customize the Gene Chaser to suit diverse needs, from diving expeditions to other scientific endeavors or transformative adventures across the seas.
