AMIKA is a 47-metre Sanlorenzo 500EXP expedition-style motor yacht delivered in 2020.
Formerly named LARS, AMIKA is part of Sanlorenzo’s explorer-style 500EXP series. She was built with a steel hull and aluminium superstructure and is designed for long-range cruising, expedition-style use and flexible guest operations.
Public yacht-directory and charter sources list AMIKA at approximately 47 metres in length, with a beam of around 9.3 to 9.6 metres, a gross tonnage of 499 GT and accommodation for up to 10 or 11 guests in five cabins. Crew accommodation is reported for around 8 to 9 crew.
Her exterior design is by Francesco Paszkowski Design, with naval architecture by Sanlorenzo. Charter and yacht-directory sources describe her as a long-range expedition yacht with a range of around 4,000 nautical miles, a cruising speed of about 12 knots and a top speed of around 15 knots.
AMIKA was previously known as LARS. The yacht was reported sold in 2024 while listed under the former name LARS, with BOAT International reporting a last known asking price of €27,500,000. This value is used here as an editorial market-intelligence reference, not as a current valuation or confirmed sale price.
