The team at Damen Yachting is delighted to confirm the sale of a new Amels 242. When delivered in Spring 2024, this 74-metre Limited Editions yacht (242 ft) will be the eighth hull from this successful Tim Heywood design.

Imperial represented the Owner in the sale and will also supervise construction throughout the completion of the build of what will be their thirteenth collaboration with the shipyard.  

Julia Stewart, Imperial Director, states “Amels 242 is our latest ground-breaking project to accompany our successful collaboration between Imperial and Amels. After being partners for over a decade, and thirteen projects later, this current construction epitomises the high standards which Amels are proud to represent under the construction supervision of Imperial. Further, by acting as the Owner’s Representative and Project Manager for this new construction, Imperial works diligently to ensure that this project is delivered seamlessly, and in accordance with Imperial’s continued drive for ground-breaking projects and sustainable excellence in the yacht industry”.

This Amels 242 is a quintessential Amels Limited Editions bringing her new and experienced Owner, a repeat Amels client, a proven technical platform, room for customisations and importantly, fast delivery. She features a modification to the stern which has been customised to a flatter, cleaner design and incorporates integrated hydraulic swim stairs. Her stand-out exterior colour scheme will also set her apart from the range with an Empress Blue hull and Snow White superstructure, completed with an Anthracite Grey mast, bringing a fresh look and feel to her sought-after Tim Heywood design. For the custom interiors, Winch Design has been appointed.

Rob Luijendijk, Damen Yachting’s Sales Director, worked together with Imperial during the sale. “We are delighted to have sold this latest Amels 242. This design has really captured the imagination of many clients and this one in particular is a great example of the Limited Editions concept. The client will receive delivery of their brand new 74-metre yacht in just 2 ½ years and has still been able to customise many aspects to really create a yacht that suits their specific requirements. The entire team at Damen Yachting is looking forward to working with Imperial during the build of this unique project and delivering this Amels 242 to her Owner in 2024.”

Sale of the Eighth Amels 242 Confirmed

Following an extensive Amels refit, HERE COMES THE SUN has departed the Damen Yachting Vlissingen City shipyard in the Netherlands ready to take on a global itinerary. Before heading to waters further afield, the now 89-metre Amels – the largest delivered to date – made a port of call in London marking her first public display beyond the local shores of the Damen Yachting facilities where she has spent the last 16 months.

Against the backdrop of the iconic London city skyline, the sheer size of HERE COMES THE SUN post refit, with her 6-metre extension and increased volume from 2827 to 2977 GT, became all the more evident. This is an Amels that has undergone a complete transformation is size and style. Her stunning brand new colour scheme perfectly carries her new additions and modifications including her extended Sun Deck aft now with helicopter landing area, extended Bridge Deck Aft accommodation to allow for 2 VIP suites she with exterior balconies and extended Main Deck Aft providing a larger beach club, spa facilities and a large 7-metre swimming pool. Further modifications include alterations to a number of deck and interior areas and layouts.

Damen Yachting Project Manager Sander Peeters was present at the yard as HERE COMES THE SUN set sail. “The refit of HERE COMES THE SUN was a very large scale and complex project. We are all very proud to have delivered on time and to such a high quality, made possible by the teamwork and collaboration between our own teams, our co-makers and the Owner’s team and crew. We would like to thank everyone involved for their part in making this special project a success. Seeing her leave the yard is a very emotional moment and we look forward to following her next chapter and adventures with her Owner.”

HERE COMES THE SUN was originally delivered in 2017 and returned to Damen Yachting in 2020 under new ownership for an extensive Amels refit. The Owner appointed Azure Yacht Design, the yard’s original partner for the naval architecture, to re-pen this iconic Amels from 83 to 89 metres.

The team at Damen Yachting has confirmed that the 68-metre Nobiskrug-built Triple Seven will undergo a 6-month Amels refit at their main yard in Vlissingen. In addition to a full respray, the 15-year survey will be carried out alongside a number of technical and interior works.

Triple Seven was originally delivered by Nobiskrug in 2006. In August 2020 she came under the management of Moran Yacht & Ship who represented the Owner in this refit. Moran Yacht & Ship’s Vladimir Tupikov was closely involved in the refit organisation. ‘We are very grateful to the team at Damen Yachting led by Michel Coens for their impactful involvement and cooperation, helping to manage and overcome all challenges. The Owner and Moran Yacht & Ship are happy to proceed with the refit programme and expect to have an excellent outcome in the end.’

Having arrived at the Damen Yachting facilities a few weeks ago, preparations for the refit are already underway. Alongside the necessary 15 year survey, the scope of works include a full respray as well as some major and minor technical modifications to the stabilisers, shaft lines, chiller plant and Galley as well as a number of interior works.

Damen Yachting’s Refit Sales Manager Refit Coens worked together with Moran during the negotiation of quotation, specification and refit contract. ‘We are honoured to be trusted with the refit of Triple Seven and are delighted to be able to welcome her into the Amels family. We look forward to working together with the team at Moran Yacht & Ship throughout this Amels Refit and giving Triple Seven a new lease of life.’

The refit of Triple Seven forms part of a steady growth of refit projects at Damen Yachting’s facilities where the company offers upgrades, repairs, maintenance and full conversion services to yachts 50 metres and above for owners of yachts from their own portfolio (Amels, SeaXplorer and Yacht Support) as well as yachts delivered by other builders.

68-metre Triple Seven to undergo Amels Refit

The team at Damen Yachting has confirmed the sale of a new Amels 60 [/api/preview?slug=en/portfolio/amels-60/]. When delivered in Spring 2024, she will be the fifth hull to be delivered from this 60-metre Amels Limited Editions design.

The Amels 60, featuring exterior design by Espen Øino, marks a new era for the Amels Limited Editions – the proven technical platform and fast delivery that clients expect and then shaped for the future. With very distinctive lines, she features hybrid power and propulsion technology. The overall design focuses on the onboard user experience with a feeling of space thanks to the large Sun Deck, Swim Platform and folding Owners Suite balcony together with a generous interior volume of 830 GT. The design also includes provision for a 9-metre luxury tender to be stowed on the foredeck.

As with all Limited Editions, the platform also allows for flexibility in terms of Owner customisation and the fifth yacht in the series is no exception. With custom interiors by a private designer selected by the Owner, a custom charcoal and white superstructure to compliment the white hull and lengthened Sun and Bridge decks, hull 6005 is a great example of the Amels Limited Editions concept.

Damen Yachting’s Sales Manager Jorrit Pilaar worked with the new Owner throughout the sales process. “We are delighted to confirm the sale of this Amels 60 and it’s a great pleasure to welcome a new Amels client to the fleet. The fact that the client is stepping into the build process relatively early means we have been able to maximise the flexibility of the Limited Editions design platform allowing for a number of client customisations whilst still offering delivery in under 3 years, which is considered fast in current market conditions.”

The sale of this latest Amels 60 comes just 2 weeks after the last Amels 60 sales announcement, once again confirming the strong market reception to this new 60-metre design.

We have several projects under construction and we are delighted to build this new iconic yacht together. Espen Øino will of course add great value to the project and reflects our joint commitment to delivering an outstanding yacht to the Owner. We very much look forward to commencing construction, during which Imperial will act as Construction Supervisor and Owner’s Representative.’

The sale once again confirms the strong market reception to this new style Amels Limited Editions featuring exterior design by Espen Øino.

Rob Luijendijk, Damen Yachting’s Sales Director, worked together with Imperial during the sale. ‘The sale of the Amels 6003 not only further strengthens the strong market reception to this new Amels Limited Editions design but is also a testament to the longstanding relationship we have Imperial.

Sale of a New Amels 60 Confirmed

This week a new 74-metre Amels 242 emerged from the Amels and Damen Yachting drydock in the Netherlands. Known as Project Shadow, the Tim Heywood-designed Amels Limited Editions yacht is in the final phase of outfitting before her delivery later this year.

Following the sale announcement earlier this year, Moran Yacht & Ship’s new build team has been supervising the completion. The Owners have been closely involved in tailoring the yacht to their personal requirements including a unique Ice Blue hull colour and custom interiors by Winch Design.

The Amels 242 also features a dedicated Owners Deck with foredeck jacuzzi and an increased capacity helicopter deck. The yacht is equipped with the latest IMO Tier III clean emissions power and propulsion package.

The Amels 242 is the sixth from the 74-metre design in the Limited Editions range. The Amels Limited Editions range of superyachts offers a proven technical platform with custom interiors. The builder has delivered more than 40 Limited Editions yachts since 2005. The innovative business model of upfront investment in engineering and construction, while maximising customisation, represents the perfect balance between full custom and semi-custom – and reduces delivery time from several years to as little as a few months.
