Damen Yachting celebrates the first Amels 60 launch of 2026, showcasing custom design, hybrid technology, and advanced naval architecture.
Damen Yachting is pleased to confirm the first new build launch of 2026 at their Vlissingen City shipyard in the Netherlands. On Saturday 31st January, the latest Amels 60, now also confirmed as sold, made her way outside marking the next build milestone and start of the final outfitting and sea trial stages in preparation for her delivery to her Owner later this year.
Sold to her Owner just weeks previously, this Amels 60 features custom interiors by Winch Design who have now collaborated on 21 Amels superyachts, four of which have been Amels 60s. For this Amels 60, the London-based design studio curated a coastal calm theme with a Pacific Islands spirit. Sand colourways have been used on the Swimming Platform level, tranquil blue tones at sea level and the Bridge Deck gives a sensation of looking down from the top of the trees with seasonal reds, greens and golden colours. With final outfitting now underway, the
Owner’s team will also be working closely with the yard and designer to add their own final personalisation as is customary with the Amels Limited Editions concept.
“This latest launch and sale reflect the yachting market’s strong appetite for sustainable, versatile superyachts that combine proven pedigree with next-generation technology. The Amels 60 continues to off a unique proposition for Owners looking to combine the customisation with the certainty of proven naval architecture, predictable delivery timelines, and tested performance. Congratulations to all parties involved in the build of this Amels 60 and achieving this significant milestone and the first launch of 2026. We look forward to working closely with the new Owner’s team as we now head towards final delivery,” stated Rob Luijendijk, Commercial Director Damen Yachting.
The Amels 60 carries the timeless exterior design penned by Espen Øino, defined by distinctive lines and signature trapezoid windows. Built for the future she is equipped with an advanced hybrid propulsion system which facilitates onboard guest comfort and increases fuel and range efficiency making this 60-metre Amels Limited Editions ideal for extended cruising itineraries.
