The seventh unit in the Amels 60 series (Amels 6007) has departed Damen Yachting's Vlissingen facility in the Netherlands and is now on sea trials. The 60-metre project first emerged from the shed in February and will be delivered to her new owner in the summer.
This hull marks the shipyard's first collaboration with British studio Harrison Eidsgaard, who are responsible for the superyacht's "beach house" interiors. Brokerage firm Moran Yacht & Ship pointed out that many of the platform improvements of the second unit, Entourage, had been carried over into this unit, including an extended sundeck.

Amels 6007 sports a bright white superstructure with black accents and a black stripe across her waterline.
The living spaces on the seventh unit incorporate stainless steel, bronze, fluted details and natural oak on the floor and overheads. Designer Ben Harrison described the interiors as "undeniably contemporary, a home away from home with a sophisticated take on beach house luxury."
Other highlights include a full dive centre and accommodation for 12 guests and 12 crew, not including the captain. Images from her sea trials reveal the expansive swim platform, which will lead to the "incredible beach club".
According to BOATPro, Amels has 10 yachts currently on order or under construction. This includes the 120-metre Project Tanzanite, which will become the largest Dutch-built motor yacht in the world once delivered.
A busy time for the yard, the news follows the third unit in the Amels 80 series, known as Project Zurich, spotted en route to outfitting.
