Amels 80 Superyacht Marks Major Milestone in Technical Launch

The latest addition to the Amels 80 series has just reached a significant milestone, completing its technical launch at Damen Yachting’s advanced facilities in Galati, Romania. Known as Hull 8005, this stunning new superyacht will now make its way to the Netherlands for the final outfitting phase at the yard’s Vlissingen location, with delivery slated for 2027.

This latest launch follows closely behind the fourth unit’s transition to the outfitting stage, and with five Amels 80 yachts now in the pipeline, the demand for these iconic vessels is undeniable. The Amels 80 represents the pinnacle of luxury and technical excellence in Damen Yachting’s Limited Editions range.

Design Highlights and Specifications

The Amels 80 superyacht is a formidable 80-meter vessel, featuring a bold and masculine exterior designed by Espen Øino, paired with sophisticated interiors from Sinot Yacht Architecture & Design. It is the largest yacht in the Limited Editions series, and it’s packed with amenities designed for ultimate comfort and relaxation.

Some standout features include:

• A generous 200-square-metre sundeck for relaxation and entertainment
• A private owner’s deck offering unmatched privacy
• A 6.5-metre swimming pool
• An expansive beach club that opens on three sides, transforming into a fully-fledged waterfront lounge. The beach club also grants access to a spa, sauna, gym, Hammam, and a massage room for ultimate rejuvenation.

Built on the success of previous Amels models, including the popular Amels 60, the 80 boasts impressive numbers: a 12.5-metre beam, a volume of 2,175GT, and the ability to accommodate up to 14 guests across seven luxurious cabins, along with a crew of 21, including the captain.

Sustainability Meets Luxury

As the superyacht industry evolves, sustainability remains a priority. The Amels 80 is equipped with a hybrid propulsion system, ensuring a reduced environmental footprint while providing fuel savings and lower operational costs. Damen Yachting’s commercial director, Rob Luijendijk, explained: “Discerning owners today understand that sustainability and smart ownership go hand in hand. The Amels 80’s hybrid system and optimized hull design not only reduce environmental impact but also deliver significant fuel savings, protecting long-term value.”

Craftsmanship and Commitment

Project manager Nicholas Schaffers also emphasized the role of Damen Yachting’s talented workforce in bringing this extraordinary yacht to life. “The launch of Hull 8005 marks an important milestone for our team in Galati. From the first steel cut to today’s launch, the skill, precision, and dedication of our workers are evident in every stage of the build.”

Schaffers continued: “This milestone is a testament to the people who make these superyachts a reality—from the welders and fitters to engineers and project teams. Their professionalism and passion are what truly bring these vessels to life.”

The Future of Amels Yachts

With nine yachts currently in build, including the record-breaking 120-meter Project Tanzanite—the largest Dutch-built motor yacht—Amels’ commitment to excellence and innovation continues to set the standard in luxury yachting. Project Tanzanite is set for delivery in 2026, making it another exciting project on the horizon.
