Seventh Amels 60 superyacht approaches launch

The seventh unit in the Amels 60 series has emerged from the shed at Damen Yachting's Vlissingen facility, now mere days away from her launch. Sold just last month, the 60-metre project will be delivered to her new owner in the summer following some final outfitting works.

This unit marks the shipyard's first collaboration with British studio Harrison Eidsgaard, 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.

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, an "incredible beach club" and accommodation for 12 guests and 12 crew, not including the captain.

The Amels 60's distinctive look, characterised by geometric windows, is designed by Espen Øino, while Damen Yachting is responsible for the series' naval architecture.

According to BOATPro, Amels has nine 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.

The news follows the delivery of 21.12, the sixth hull in the Amels 60 series.
