The second Amels 80 has reached Damen Yachting's facilities in Vlissingen, the Netherlands, where outfitting works are set to commence. Damen Yachting reports that the superyacht arrived two weeks earlier than planned, having left the shipyard's facilities in Galati, Romania on August 5. The delivery to its experienced owner is slated for May 2026.
Construction of the second hull started on speculation, with the yacht being sold to a buyer in December 2022. The Amels 80 serves as the flagship of the builder's renowned Limited Editions series. The exterior design is crafted by Espen Øino, while the sophisticated interiors of the second hull are designed by Sinot Yacht Architecture & Design. The naval architecture, provided by Damen Yachting, incorporates 'Hybrid by Amels' technology, enabling comfortable cruising at up to seven knots with reduced emissions, noise, and vibrations.
The model boasts several distinctive features, such as a 200-square-metre sundeck, a dedicated owner's deck, and a waterfront beach club with unfolding sea terraces. With a volume of 2175GT, the yacht offers accommodation for up to 14 guests and 21 crew, along with ample storage for toys and tenders, including a foredeck helicopter landing area. Jan van Hogerwou, commercial executive at Damen Yachting, expressed his honor in being entrusted with the project, stating their mission is to enable this adventurous young family to explore the world's oceans while enjoying activities like free-diving, spearfishing, and scuba diving, all within the comforts of the new Amels 80.
Damen Yachting made headlines last month with the launch of the sixth Amels 60, commissioned by a European owner. The yacht is easily identifiable with its striking blue hull.
