Amels' 120-metre full-custom project has arrived at the Damen Yachting facility in Vlissingen, the Netherlands, to begin outfitting. The yacht is currently the largest project in build in the Netherlands, and, once delivered in 2025, will become the largest Dutch-built motor yacht in the world.
Known only as Amels 120 Full Custom, the yacht features exterior design by Espen Øino, who has worked with the yard on a number of projects in the last two years. Their shared portfolio includes the Amels 60, the Amels 80 and the 77.8-metre custom project Energy.
Once delivered, the record-breaking yacht will also become the largest member of the Amels fleet, surpassing the current 83-metre flagship Here Comes The Sun by 31 metres.
Damen Yachting has completed the naval architecture in-house and the client will be represented throughout the build and final construction phase by Deeside Maritime.
Meanwhile, details surrounding the yacht's bespoke interiors remain under wraps.
The yacht arrived in the Netherlands from Damen Yachting's hull-building site in Galati, Romania. She was launched at the shipyard a month ago, in a ceremony attended by local schoolchildren from the area.
Amels project manager Jeroen Waalewijn said: "The launch of the hull was an emotional yet incredible moment for all of those who have played such an integral part in the realisation of the Amels 120 Full Custom so far. To see her out on the water and to now have her here in Vlissingen is a testament to the entire project team. We look forward to this next stage in her build journey as we transform her into our future flagship.”
The Amels 120 Full Custom is set to incorporate the latest in design and technology, including diesel-electric engines and Azipod electric propulsion which will help her "operate with the lowest levels of noise and vibration ever recorded on a yacht of this size", according to the yard.
She joins six other projects in build at Amels, with a further three projects in the works at Damen Yachting, according to BOATPro.
