Damen Yachting Launches the Groundbreaking Amels 80

The Amels 80 is not merely a new model; it is a testament to the evolution of superyacht design. Conceived for owners who seek more than just aesthetic beauty, the vessel delivers a unique blend of performance, sophistication, and enduring quality. Drawing on generations of Dutch yacht-building expertise, the Amels 80 is shaped by nature and driven by innovation, setting a new benchmark for the Limited Editions series1.

Sean Bianchi, Partner and Head of Burgess Technical Services, who oversaw the build on behalf of the owner, commented:

'This milestone marks the culmination of close collaboration between Damen Yachting, Sinot, and the Owner’s team in crafting a yacht that is truly one of a kind'.

The exterior of the Amels 80 is the work of Espen Øino, one of the industry’s most celebrated designers. The vision has resulted in a harmonious blend of form and function, with lines that exude contemporary elegance while offering an exceptional onboard experience.

Inside, the yacht is a sanctuary of calm refinement, thanks to the first collaboration between Sinot Yacht Architecture & Design and Amels. The interior features fluid transitions between spaces, natural materials, and a soft, neutral palette, creating an inviting and luxurious atmosphere. Paul Costerus, Designer Interior at Sinot, described it as:

'A project which provided us with the opportunity to develop something truly unique. You will feel at home from the moment you step on board.'

Setting a new standard for sustainable performance, the Amels 80 is equipped with a hybrid propulsion system. This enables reduced emissions, quieter operations, and greater cruising efficiency-demonstrating Damen Yachting’s commitment to responsible innovation that will endure into the future.

This show-stopping superyacht is packed with headline-grabbing features: a touch-and-go helipad for seamless arrivals, a sprawling sun deck perfect for sunset soirées, and a private Owner’s Deck for those who crave exclusivity. The 6.5-metre pool awaits, after, guests can enjoy the Beach Club’s spa, complete with sauna, gym, hammam, and massage room. The Amels 80 is designed for global exploration and ultimate relaxation.

With its visionary design, unrivalled luxury, and adventurous spirit, the Amels 80 is absolutely setting sail whilst improving the future of superyachting.
