A yacht makes quite a statement out on the water. However, the sixth Amels 60 yacht makes a statement like few others. Paul Deurloo, Darnen Yachting’s project manager, puts it best when he says, “The spectacular color of this hull will certainly stand out!”
It will be late this year when the owner finally gets to draw admiring glances out on the water. Besides the striking blue paint, the megayacht has distinctly angular styling, by Espen Øino. The trapezoidal windows make it clear to in-the-know yacht watchers that this is an Amels Limited Editions series delivery, too.
Since the owner of this sixth Amels 60 has requested privacy, few details are public currently. Among the few available facts are accommodations for 12, along with 12 crewmembers and the captain. The owner also worked with Winch Design for outfitting the interior the way he and his guests like to live. It’s worth noting that Winch Design is increasingly using only natural and more sustainable materials for décor.
Generally speaking, the Amels 60 series offers a lot of flexibility for a semi-custom project. For example, few shipyards permit buyers of series builds to make structural changes. Damen Yachting previously has welcomed client input for things like fold-down balconies. The interior is fully open to personalization, too, from adding a gym to the master suite or creating a VP stateroom on the main deck. Finally, tenders and toys can stow on the foredeck, easily boardable via the deep, wide, integral swim platform.
Six launches in two years—the Amels 60 series debuted in 2022—is quite an accomplishment. Then again, so is making sure that everyone’s head turns as you cruise into a popular superyacht harbor.
