A striking new 60-metre superyacht has emerged from Damen Yachting’s shipyard in Vlissingen, marking the latest addition to the highly acclaimed Amels 60 Limited Editions series. The vessel, currently referred to as Amels 60, was unveiled to daylight on 21 July 2025, showcasing her athletic exterior lines and sophisticated colour scheme for the first time.
This launch represents a key moment not only for the Dutch builder but also for the wider yachting market. In an era where bespoke new-builds often involve multi-year waiting periods, this Amels 60 offers a rare opportunity, with availability now and delivery scheduled for Autumn 2025.
Damen Yachting Project Manager, Paul Deurloo, shared his excitement: “One of the highlights of the build process is seeing the superyacht emerge from the shipyard. We are thrilled to present her to the world.”
A Proven Platform with Premium Design Credentials
The Amels 60 builds upon Damen Yachting’s trusted naval architecture and the renowned Amels Limited Editions concept. This approach combines a reliable and efficient technical platform with the creative flexibility of bespoke interiors, giving clients the best of both worlds: reduced delivery times and a personalized onboard experience.
For this model, Damen Yachting has collaborated with two of the industry’s most celebrated designers. The exterior was crafted by Monaco-based Espen Øino, while the interior has been designed by London’s Harrison Eidsgaard.
Espen Øino’s Signature Exterior
The Amels 60 has quickly become a standout in its class thanks to Øino’s bold, forward-thinking design. The yacht boasts a strong, athletic profile with a near-vertical plumb bow and dynamic, geometric lines. Large angular windows are a defining feature, enhancing both aesthetics and functionality by flooding interiors with natural light while maximizing volume and creating a commanding presence on the water.
Harrison Eidsgaard’s Contemporary Interiors
This is the second Amels 60 interior by Harrison Eidsgaard, a studio renowned for modern, intelligent interior concepts. The design brief emphasizes a “clean, contemporary interior with a strong connection to the sea.” While final details remain confidential pending outfitting, the interiors are expected to reflect sophistication and minimalism, with seamless transitions between indoor and outdoor areas. Øino’s expansive windows will ensure guests remain visually connected to the surrounding seascape.
Technical Excellence and Market Opportunity
The Amels 60 is engineered for comfort, performance, and efficiency. The series is recognized for its “eco-smart” and “charter-ready” credentials, appealing to modern owners. Although propulsion details for this specific hull have not been disclosed, the platform is known for advanced hybrid technology, allowing quiet electric cruising at low speeds, reducing both fuel consumption and emissions.

As she enters final outfitting, the industry is watching closely. This launch confirms the enduring appeal of the Amels 60 platform and offers a rare chance for a buyer to acquire one of the market’s most sought-after models in record time.
