Damen Yachting has recently announced the sale of the latest addition to its Amels 60 series, a 60-meter superyacht that was launched from the Dutch yard's Vlissingen facilities in July. The yacht, known as hull 6008, is currently undergoing final outfitting works, following sea trials earlier this autumn, with delivery scheduled for 2026. This new build is a testament to Damen Yachting's commitment to innovation and customization, offering a unique blend of luxury and functionality.
The Amels 60 series was introduced to the market in 2019, featuring an exterior design by Espen Øino, including the iconic geometric windows. The first unit in the series, Come Together, was sold earlier this year at a last known asking price of €59,950,000. The second unit, Entourage, won a Neptune at last year's World Superyacht Awards, showcasing the series' excellence in both design and performance.
This latest yacht, hull 6008, boasts custom interiors designed by the British studio Harrison Eidsgaard, who also completed the interiors on the seventh unit, Memories, delivered in June. The yacht's interior design is a departure from the natural hues of previous Amels 60 models, featuring navy accents and rich walnut, creating an elevated level of sophistication and glamour.
One of the standout features of this yacht is the 75-square-meter balcony in the owner's main-deck suite, offering breathtaking views. The sundeck, measuring 162 square meters, includes a six-person Jacuzzi, a bar, and a raised foredeck for sunbathing, which can also serve as a helipad. Additionally, the beach club is dedicated to wellness and entertainment, with a full-height glass door providing easy access to the swim platform.
The Amels 60 is powered by a hybrid MTU propulsion package, offering a maximum speed of 15.5 knots on full power and 14 knots when 'eco-cruising'. It has a range of 4,500 nautical miles at 13 knots and can reach a top speed of seven knots when propelled purely by the hybrid electrical drive motors. Key specifications include an 853GT interior volume, a 10.4-meter beam, and a 3.4-meter draught.
Damen Yachting is currently working on four superyacht projects, with the largest being a 75.2-meter hybrid expedition yacht. The shipyard has also recently announced the sale of its fourth YS53 model, demonstrating its versatility and appeal in the luxury yacht market.
The sale of this latest Amels 60 is a testament to Damen Yachting's collaborative approach, allowing owners to customize proven platforms through close partnerships. This project highlights the flexibility and appeal of the Limited Editions concept, showcasing the company's ability to create unique and sophisticated superyachts that cater to the most discerning clients.
