A TRINITY OF AMELS 80S: THIRD AMELS 80 LAUNCHED IN VLISSINGEN
Damen Yachting has successfully launched Project Zurich, the third Amels 80 at its second build facility in Vlissingen-East. This 80- metre Amels Limited Editions will make her way to our main Headquarters facility in Vlissingen City, where she will enter the final stages of outfitting, with delivery scheduled for later this year.
Sold just months after the Amels 80’s market introduction in 2022, she joins her sister yacht, the second Amels 80, currently in Vlissingen for outfitting, while the first has already been delivered to her Owner. The simultaneous final outfitting of two Amels 80s alongside an Amels Full Custom, a number of Amels 60s and Refit projects at our yard underlines Amels’ standing in the market and the exceptional demand this design continues to generate.
“Launching our third Amels 80 marks an important milestone for everyone involved. Yachts of this scale require meticulous planning, craftsmanship and close coordination across our teams, together with the Owner’s representative. Managing multiple projects of this size simultaneously calls for experience, precision and focus as we move into the final stages ahead of delivery,” said Sander Peeters, Project Manager Damen Yachting. This 80-metre superyacht includes a 6.5-metre glass-bottomed pool on the Main Deck Aft, which serves as a skylight for the Beach Club below. The Beach Club opens on three sides, creating direct access to the sea, and incorporates a comprehensive wellness and spa area featuring a gym, hammam and sauna. Further signature elements of the Amels 80 include a spacious Sun Deck complete with a substantially sized jacuzzi.
The launch represents this Amels 80’s first appearance quayside at the Dutch shipyard since arriving for outfitting in January 2025. As the third yacht in the new Amels 80 series, she reflects the strength of the Amels Limited Editions concept, combining personalisation with the assurance of a proven technical platform. With exterior design by Espen Øino International, the Owner appointed an award-winning design team for her bright, custom interior which remains confidential.
