Dutch shipyard Damen Yachting has announced the sale of a new Amels 80 superyacht, scheduled for delivery in spring 2029. The 80-metre project has been sold to a first-time owner represented by Boatsters Black and Bjorn International Brokerage.
"As the owner's first yacht, the choice of shipyard carried real significance," explained Nick Gelevert, CEO and founder of Boatsters Black. "We took the time to assess the right build partner carefully, and the Amels 80 clearly stood apart." Kasper Jakobsen, owner of Bjorn International Brokerage, added: "What convinced us was the combination of a proven build philosophy, a clear delivery programme, and the calibre of experience you expect from a leading Dutch yard."
The Amels 80 is the largest offering in the shipyard's popular Limited Editions range, penned with exterior design by Espen Øino and naval architecture by Damen Yachting.
Highlights of the 2,175GT series include accommodation for 14 guests and 21 crew, a 200-square-metre sundeck with a "substantially sized" Jacuzzi, a dedicated owner's deck and a foredeck helipad. Like the first and second hulls from the line, the interiors of this unit will be drawn by Sinot Yacht Architecture & Design.
The shipyard has now successfully delivered the first three units from the series, Pangea, Netto II and Germaine - the latter of which departed the shipyard's Vlissingen facilities only yesterday. Jan van Hogerwou, commercial executive USA at Damen Yachting, concluded: “This sale reflects the continued strength of the Amels 80 and the Limited Editions approach, offering clients certainty in process and delivery while allowing them to make the yacht their own.”
BOATPro amounts there to be five Amels 80 units currently under construction.
