The prestigious world of yachting has a new star. Damen Yachting announced the sale of its latest unit from the distinguished Amels 60 series. This grandiose superyacht, referred to as hull 6008, was initially introduced to the public in July of 2021. As of now, this nautical marvel is being given its finishing touches, undergoing intricate outfitting works after successful sea trials earlier this autumn.
This luxurious vessel boasts an impressive exterior, designed by acclaimed designer Espen Øino, and encompassing geometric windows that have become a signature of the series. Adding to its esteemed lineage, the Amels 60 series includes noteworthy sisterships like 'Come Together', which was sold earlier this year, and the 'Entourage', recipient of a Neptune at the World Superyacht Awards.
An outstanding asset of Damen Yachting, this recently sold Amels 60 stands as a testament to the collaborative approach and the flexibility of the Limited Editions concept promoted by the shipbuilding giant. Damen Yachting is currently working on four superyacht projects, the largest of which is a 75.2-metre hybrid expedition yacht, according to BOATPro. The sale of this latest yacht has certainly marked a grand milestone for the Damen Yachting and the Amels 60 series.

Old Sea Dogs treats press releases and organiser statements as a starting point, then looks for the practical detail: dates, entry rules, berthing, costs, crew impact, safety notes and what readers should check next. What remains uncertain is the usual waterfront mix of weather, final notices, availability, pricing and how a claim holds up once people arrive. Use this piece as a pointer, then check the linked source before making plans.
