Damen Yachting has launched the first new build of 2026 at their Vlissingen City shipyard in the Netherlands. On 31 January, the latest Amels 60, now also confirmed as sold, made its way outside marking the start of the final outfitting and sea trial stages in preparation for delivery later this year.

Sold to an undisclosed 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.

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 customisation with the certainty of proven naval architecture, predictable delivery timelines,
and tested performance,’ states Rob Luijendijk, Commercial Director Damen Yachting.
