The fifth Amels 80, part of Damen Yachting's Limited Editions range, got snapped up shortly after reaching the yard in Vlissingen.

Set sail on an intriguing tale of the high seas. Demand for Damen Yachting’s Amels 80 Limited Editions range yachts remains high, with the fifth unit scooped up briskly after docking at their Vlissingen yard this January. The sale, effected in strong collaboration with brokerage firm Burgess, underlines the sustained interest in the Amels 80 design. A total of five Amels 80 yachts are currently under construction, as per BOATPro data.

Burgess is supervising the build for the buyer through its in-house team. This marks the third Amels 80 the brokerage firm has facilitated for its clients. Jan van Hogerwou, commercial executive at Damen Yachting, stated that the deal ‘speaks to the enduring appeal of the Amels Limited Editions approach.’ This approach merges a tried-and-true design platform with the liberty to tailor a yacht per the owner’s vision while enjoying the yard’s dependable build quality and delivery record.

The design champions space, openness, and a strong connection to the sea. The yacht’s 200-square-metre sun deck is the most spacious in its class, allowing for various relaxation and entertainment zones. A three-sided open beach club bolsters the connection to the water. The vessel also boasts a private owner’s deck, a 6.5-metre glass-bottom swimming pool, ample wellness facilities including a gym, hammam and sauna, and panoramic guest accommodation on the main deck.

In an age where discerning owners understand that sustainability and smart ownership go hand in hand, the Amels 80’s hybrid propulsion system and optimised hull design don’t just reduce environmental impact. They provide significant fuel savings and lower operational costs while protecting long-term value. This integration of technology and design underscores Damen’s focus on comfort, operational efficiency and an enhanced onboard experience. It is intelligent yacht ownership for the modern era.

Notably, exclusive data from BOATPro reveals that Amels currently has eight yachts on order or in build. The largest of which is 120-metre Project Tanzanite, the largest Dutch-built motor yacht in history, which is set for delivery this year. The five Amels 80 are just small fishes in this vast ocean of luxury and innovation.
