On August 5, Netherlands shipyard Damen Yachting's second Amels 80 series superyacht was launched at its shipyard in Galati, Romania. The 80-metre yacht will be outfitted before being delivered to her "experienced owner" in the spring of 2026.
Project Manager Stefan Regtvoort couldn't hide his excitement: "The moment she first entered the water was undoubtedly an unforgettable moment of my life. The Amels 80 looks impressive, "and I and the elite team at Frissingen can't wait to welcome her to Netherlands and start the next phase of construction." ”
The construction of the second hull began speculation and was sold to a buyer in December 2022.
As the flagship of the manufacturer's limited edition collection, it is not only the result of craftsmanship and forward-looking, but also a model of combining "sustainable" green concepts with "refined elegance" luxury, vividly illustrating Damen Yachts' excellence as a pioneer of Netherlands shipbuilding art.
The exterior design is designed by the world-renowned yacht designer Espen Øino, and every line exudes a striking and timeless beauty; The "elegant" interior of Hull 2 is attributed to Sinot Yacht Architecture &design, which aims to combine refined aesthetics with a comfortable living experience, creating a home at sea that is both luxurious and welcoming.
The ship works from Damen Yachts' in-house team, which includes the "Amels Hybrid" technology. Electric propulsion will allow it to cruise quietly, comfortably and sustainably at speeds of 7 knots, while reducing emissions, noise and vibration.
This model has a number of outstanding features, including a 200-square-meter sundeck, which is the perfect place to soak up the sun and enjoy the sea breeze; The exclusive private owner's deck is a symbol of prestige; The beachfront beach club, with its unfolding terrace with sea views, is the perfect place to gather and relax.

The 2175GT's generous capacity not only provides comfortable living space for up to 14 VIP guests and 21 professional crew members, but also ample storage space for toys and annex boats, including a foredeck helicopter landing area, for luxury and convenience.
Jan van Hogerwou, Head of Commercial at Damen Yachts, is very proud of the project and it is an "honour" to be part of it. The launch of the second Amels 80 marks another step forward in fulfilling the dream of the experienced owner and underlines the success of this limited edition collection. In his 2022 sales statement, he affectionately said: "Our mission is to make every voyage an unforgettable memory for this adventurous young family to sail freely through the vast oceans, explore the unknown, enjoy diving, fishing, and spend quality time with family and friends." ”
The dynamism and creativity of Damen Yachts are equally impressive. Just last month, with the elegant launch of its sixth Amels 60, the brand once again made waves in the superyacht building scene in July. This custom-made blue jewel by a European owner attracts the world's attention with its striking colors.
Damen Marines is a division of the Damen Shipyards Group, founded in 2019. The division combines the pedigree and heritage of Amels Yachts with a growing portfolio of Cosmos Expedition Yachts and Yacht Support Yachts. The first launch of the second Amels 80 underlines Damen Yachts' commitment to timely delivery and the continued success of the limited edition collection.
