The first Amels 80 has made its way to Vlissingen for the commencement of the outfitting phase.

The first Amels 80 has arrived at Damen Yachting’s Vlissingen yard to complete the outfitting process.

 

The inaugural Amels 80 has reached Damen Yachting’s Vlissingen facility to undergo the final stages of outfitting. Spanning 80 meters (261 feet), this vessel represents the maiden Amels 80 from the esteemed Amels Limited Editions collection, featuring a comprehensive and contemporary exterior design crafted by Espen Øino.

The first Amels 80 superyacht has arrived to the Damen Yachting’s Vlissingen shipyard in the Netherlands for the outfitting process. At 80m (261ft) in length, this marks the first Amels 80 to evolve from the Amels Limited Editions range, with Espen Øino in charge of creating “a holistic and modern exterior design.”
Damen Yachting’s Project Manager, Romke van der Linde, expresses, “This yacht is at the forefront of shipbuilding. We are a 100+ 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.”

Design Features of the Amels 80 include extensive input from the owner, who chose to collaborate with the Dutch design studio Sinot Yacht Architecture & Design for a bespoke interior design. Noteworthy features encompass a distinct color palette, complementary natural materials, a dedicated owner’s deck, and a spacious 200-square-meter sun deck. Additional highlights comprise ample water toy storage, a versatile waterside beach club, a wellness and spa area, and a helicopter landing space.

Jan van Hogerwou, Commercial Executive North America at Damen Yachting, notes, “A key selling point of our Amels Limited Editions superyachts is the ability to create a fully personalized 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.”

Before reaching Vlissingen, the Amels 80 hull and superstructure were launched at the team’s build facility in Galati, Romania, on September 27 and towed to the Netherlands for completion.

Sean Bianchi, Partner – Head of New Construction, Naval Architect at Burgess, comments, “The next milestone of this impressive yacht is upon us with her arrival in Vlissingen. With much of the design development of the yacht being personally overseen by the owners, we believe this will be one of the standout yachts entering into operation in 2025.”
