SHARE
The first Amels 80 has arrived in the Netherlands for outfitting and remains on track for completion in 2025.
The first Amels 80 has arrived for outfitting in Damen Yachting’s main shipyard in Vlissingen, which will be home to the 2,175GT superyacht until she is completed in 2025. The hull and superstructure were launched from her build facility in Romania in late September and then towed to the Netherlands for completion.
Designed by Espen Øino, who also designed the Amels 60, the Amels 80 is most recent design in the Amels Limited Editions range. The 261-footer’s features include a waterside beach club that opens on three sides, a wellness and spa area, space for toys, a helicopter landing area, a dedicated owner’s deck and an impressive 200sqm (2,153sqft) sun deck.
Romke van der Linde, Damen Yachting’s Project Manager, said: “This yacht is at the forefront of shipbuilding. We are a 100-plus-year-old shipyard that continues to innovate, and the hybrid Amels 80 is a true testament to this. The feedback from the several Amels 60 yachts that already feature our hybrid system has been more than positive.”
The owner of the first Amels 80 commissioned Dutch studio Sinot Yacht Architecture & Design to create an entirely custom interior. Featuring a unique colour palette and natural materials, the interior includes accommodation for 14 guests and 20 crew plus the captain.
Jan van Hogerwou, Damen Yachting’s Commercial Executive North America, said: “A key selling point of our Amels Limited Editions superyachts is the ability to create a fully personalised interior design. And judging by the interior renderings, this is set to be a spectacular rendition of the Amels 80 that we are all excited to see delivered in 2025.”
Burgess sold the yacht and remains involved in the build process as the owner’s representative. Sean Bianchi, Partner – Head of New Construction, Naval Architect at Burgess, said: “The next milestone of this impressive yacht is upon us with her arrival in Vlissingen. With much of the design development being personally overseen by the owners, we believe this will be one of the standout yachts entering into operation in 2025.
“This is a great testament to the project team who are working collaboratively together to complete a yacht that pushes the boundaries of the Limited Editions series. We’re extremely proud to be part of this unique project and look forward to her delivery in 2025.”
