Damen Yachting has confirmed that its latest Amels 60 – known internally as Amels 6009 – was launched just two weeks after it was sold. The 60m motoryacht is Damen Yachting’s first launch of 2026 and the ninth hull in the shipyard’s successful Amels 60 series to hit the water.

Rob Luijendijk, Damen Yachting’s Commercial Director, commented: “This latest launch and sale reflect the yachting market’s strong appetite for sustainable, versatile superyachts that combine proven pedigree with next-generation technology. The Amels 60 continues to offer a unique proposition for owners looking to combine the customisation with the certainty of proven naval architecture, predictable delivery timelines and tested performance.”

As with all other Amels 60 superyachts, the exterior of the ninth hull has been penned by Espen Øino. The interiors of the 853GT vessel have been styled by Winch Design, which had worked on three earlier Amels 60 interiors. The British studio has now collaborated on a total of 21 different Amels yachts.

According to the shipyard, the interiors of the latest Amels 60 have been designed with a “a coastal calm theme” inspired by “a Pacific Islands spirit”. This concept has been realised by incorporating sandy tones at the yacht’s swim platform and beach club level, shades of blue at sea level, and hues of red, green and gold at the bridge deck to emulate a treeline in seasonal colours.

The sundeck, which is the yacht’s fifth and highest deck, spans a generous 29m in length and is equipped with a jacuzzi for six guests, an alfresco dining area and bar, as well as a foredeck lounge that doubles as a helipad. The yacht has accommodation for up to 12 guests and 14 crew members. The owner’s suite features a private 7sqm fold-down balcony.

Powered by a hybrid propulsion system, Amels 6009 offers a top speed of 15.5 knots and a cruising range of 5,000nm. The next Amels 60, which will be the 10^th unit in the series, is already under construction with delivery scheduled for 2027.
