Second Amels 80 superyacht Netto II launched in the Netherlands

Dutch shipyard Damen Yachting has announced the launch of the second Amels 80 superyacht Netto II from its facilities in Vlissingen, the Netherlands.

Construction on the second hull from the flagship Amels Limited Editions line began on speculation, with the yacht sold to a buyer in December 2022 – months after the model's unveiling. She was last photographed en route to outfitting in August 2024, following initial construction at the shipyard's facilities in Galati, Romania.

The 80-metre new build follows the first in the series, Pangea, which was delivered last October. However, she is set apart from her sistership with a custom "dolphin blue" metallic hull, platinum bootstripe and white superstructure. 

Following her launch, Netto II will now undergo final outfitting in preparation for delivery to her "seasoned owner" ahead of this year’s summer Mediterranean season.

Exterior design of the Amels 80 is from Espen Øino, while the custom interiors of hull two are owed to Sinot Yacht Architecture & Design. Though details remain private for now, Netto II is said to host several custom features, including a speakeasy bar with a 60’s casino vibe.

Model highlights include a 200-square-metre sundeck with an "oversized" jacuzzi, a foredeck helicopter landing area and a dedicated owner's deck. Closer to the water, there is a beach club with unfolding sea terraces on three sides as well as a wellness and spa area with a gym, hammam and sauna. The space is illuminated from the 6.5-metre, glass-bottomed pool of the main deck aft above.

A volume of 2,175GT will provide accommodation for up to 14 guests in seven cabins and 21 crew, along with plenty of storage for toys and tenders. Naval architecture is by Damen Yachting.

"Seeing this impressive Amels 80 now afloat and back outside is a proud moment for everyone involved," said Stefan Regtvoort, project manager at Damen Yachting. "The successful launch from the dock is the result of close teamwork, precision planning and dedication from all our colleagues and partners, including the owner's team, represented by Kees de Keizer. We're now looking forward to the next exciting phases as she moves closer to delivery."

According to BOATPro, the shipyard has nine superyachts currently in build or on order, including five Amels 80 builds. Three Amels 60s are also under construction, with Damen Yachting recently celebrating the sale and launch of the latest unit from the popular line.
