Damen Yachting has sent the third unit in its Amels 60 series out for sea trials from its Vlissingen shipyard. The 60-metre yacht, known only by the project name Amels 6003, is on track for completion in August 2023.
Currently listed for sale, the 830GT superyacht features exterior design by Espen Øino, with a slightly flared bow, long lines of glazing along the main and upper decks and distinctive geometric windows amidships. Similarly to Come Together, Winch Design is responsible for the interior of hull three.

The sundeck benefits from a spa pool with a swim-jet function and a cinema set-up. The touch-and-go helipad can also be used as a sunbathing spot or a unique gym area. Elsewhere, two tenders be stored on the foredeck.
Joppe Osté, project manager at Damen Yachting called the hybrid propulsion "the best solution solution" for reducing emissions, noise and vibrations while benefitting from reduced fuel costs. “It also allows you to cruise up to a certain speed without using the main engines, solely cruising on the generators,” he added.
Speaking at the launch, Jorrit Pilaar, sales manager at Damen Yachting said: "We are very excited to see the yacht enter the water for the first time. With this milestone moment behind we’re very keen to move forward to the next stages and prepare this third Amels 60 for this year’s yachting season."
The second hull in the Amels 60 line, Entourage, was launched in July 2022 and delivered at the beginning of 2023. The first interior images of her sistership were revealed last month.
