Second Amels 80 Superyacht Sold and Under Construction

Combining sustainability with ‘sophisticated elegance’, the latest model from the esteemed Dutch shipyard is the epitome of forward-thinking yacht building. First revealed to the market in March 2022, the new and impressive Amels 80 line of superyachts features an eye-catching yet timeless exterior design from esteemed yacht designer Espen Øino; presenting both a ‘modern’ and ‘dynamic’ yacht. 

Each 80m vessel is equipped with a luxurious 200m2 sun deck, a waterside beach club which includes wellness and spa facilities, as well as a lavish dedicated owner's deck. Alongside its ability to carry a wide array of water toys and tenders and accommodate up to 14 guests and a crew of 21, each Amels 80 yacht is impressively fitted with Hybrid by Amels technology, allowing it to cruise silently, comfortably and sustainably at speeds of up to seven knots on electric propulsion. 

As the second superyacht sold from the largest Limited Editions series to date, the Amels 8002 will feature a custom interior design by American design studio JQB Design. Renowned for its work on the interiors of Lurssen Yachts’ iconic 126m OCTOPUS alongside several other award-winning superyachts, the American studio prides itself on creating one-of-a-kind private marine retreats and is aiming to deliver a completely unique vision to this new Amels build. Aside from the work done by Øino, JQB will also contribute to aspects of the yacht's exterior. 

Jan van Hogerwou, the Commercial Executive of Damen Yachting commented on the sale of the second Amels 80: ‘It is an honour to have been tasked with turning this experienced Owner’s vision of yachting and ocean exploration into reality and we are delighted to welcome the family to participate in the new build journey with all of the talented parties involved. It is our mission to get this adventurous young family out on the water, exploring and discovering the world’s oceans while free-diving, spearfishing, SCUBA diving and sharing these experiences with family and friends inside all of the comforts possible aboard the new, spectacular 80-metre Amels!’ 

As with all Limited Editions superyachts and in line with the established Amels build concept, the Amels 8002 has already begun construction at the Dutch shipyard, on track for its 2026 delivery date. The build of the first Amels 80, Amels 8001, is also well underway and she is expected for delivery to her owner in Spring 2025.
