The Dutch superyacht builder has handed over Khalidah, which features an Espen Øino exterior and a custom interior by Winch Design.
Damen Yachting has delivered the third Amels 60, Khalidah, to her owner. The 60m, 830GT Amels Limited Editions superyacht will remain at the Amels headquarters in Vlissingen City until departure.
Khalidah features custom interiors by Winch Design that feature light materials, woods, scattered pops of colour, artistic elements and high-tech lighting and entertainment solutions. The room divider in the owner’s suite is created with carefully selected art pieces and sea-related items, and lighting and music can be altered to set the mood in any area at the touch of a button.
Espen Øino penned the timeless exterior design, which includes the Amels 60’s eye-catching signature trapezoid windows.
Rob Luijendijk, Director of Sales at Damen Yachting, said: “Her striking design, future-proof package and proven capability are just some of the outstanding qualities of the Amels 60. To see so many of these yachts with their owners in such as short space of time is incredible.”
The owner of Khalidah has appointed Deeside Maritime for the final stages of the build and the operational management of the yacht.
Nick Flashman, the owner’s representative, and founder and Director of Deeside Maritime, said: “I’ve worked on a number of Amels new builds over the years and have great experience of working with the Damen Yachting team and their fantastic technical build platform and operational performance.
“It was this experience and knowledge that the owner and family office were looking for when appointing someone to not only oversee the crucial final stages of the build but to take the operational management of the yacht forward beyond delivery. The delivery represents one of the more significant milestones as, together with the yard and the owner’s team, we mark the move from build towards onboard enjoyment.”
The Amels 60 can accommodate up to 12 guests overnight in six staterooms including an owner’s suite with a folding balcony, en-suite bathroom and dressing room. There’s also accommodation for 12 crew plus the captain.
Features include space for a 9m tender on the foredeck and a beach clubhouse with a sauna and steam room. The sun deck is a flexible space and can include a Jacuzzi, barbecue and touch-and-go helipad. The Amels 60 series features cutting-edge equipment and technology including IMO Tier III-compliant hybrid power and propulsion.
Joppe Osté, Project Manager at Damen Yachting, said: “This proven hybrid system currently offers the best solution to reduce harmful emissions, reduce noise and vibrations while benefiting from lower fuel and maintenance costs. It also allows you to cruise up to a certain speed without using the main engines, solely cruising on the generators.”
