Latest Amels 80 Hull Arrives in Vlissingen for 2028 Delivery

The hull of Project Route 66, the latest Amels 80, has arrived at Damen Yachting’s Vlissingen facility following her successful launch in Galaţi, Romania. The 80-metre yacht will now enter the next phase of construction, with outfitting continuing in the Netherlands before delivery in 2028. 
 

The arrival at the shipyard in Vlissingen marks the transition from hull construction in Galaţi to outfitting in the Netherlands, bringing together the expertise of the Amels teams across both locations.  
 
Joppe Osté, Project Manager at Damen Yachting, comments: “This is an important moment for everyone involved in the build. It reflects the craftsmanship of our welders, fitters, engineers and project teams in Galaţi, as well as the close cooperation between our teams in Romania and the Netherlands. We are proud to welcome her to Vlissingen and to continue the next phase of construction here.”  

 
Jan van Hogerwou, Commercial Executive USA at Damen Yachting, adds: “Project Route 66 is shaped entirely around her Owner, combining a proven build philosophy with efficient hybrid technology. Truly distinctive features have been incorporated throughout, creating a yacht that is uniquely theirs."
