MEMORIES has departed Damen Yachting’s main Amels build facility in Vlissingen following final delivery to her new Owner. 


Immediately prior to delivery of this 60-metre Amels Limited Editions, she was officially named MEMORIES. The name unveiling took place during a private yacht naming ceremony held at our Damen Yachting shipyard in Vlissingen and was attended by the Owner’s team and crew.  


AMELS 60 MEMORIES 


As with all Amels 60s, the exterior design of MEMORIES has been penned by Espen Øino International. She features the signature geometric windows and includes many of the enhancements included in recent deliveries. MEMORIES is the first Amels 60 to feature custom interiors by Harrison Eidsgaard [https://he.design/] and is the first Amels new build to have a Harrison Eidsgaard interior. The Owner of MEMORIES was introduced by  Moran Yacht & Ship [https://www.moranyachts.com/] just 6 months prior to delivery  – something that the Amels Limited Editions concept is built in mind for. Despite the late entry into the build process, the Owner has still been able to make a number of customisations.  


IN HER FOOTSTEPS 


The next Amels 60 [https://www.amelsyachting.com/portfolio/amels-60] is already in build and available for delivery in just 5 months – Autumn 2025.

The now 79.2 metre superyacht, originally named ALBATROSS and built by Delta Marine, has now departed the Vlissingen City yard following her extensive Amels refit including extension ahead of her private itinerary this summer with her Owners. 


COMPLETE TRANSFORMATION  


MOONSTONE’s refit has involved a complete exterior and interior transformation in collaboration with London-based Design Studio Harrison Eidsgaard [https://he.design/] over the last 26 months, including changes to the transom and interior layout amendments. Amongst the many changes, including a 7-metre extension and repaint, a number of new features have been added. The Sun Deck has been transformed into a vibrant social space with a stylish bar and a winter garden has been added on Bridge Deck creating new space for dining entertainment and relaxation. The Owners Deck now features a jacuzzi and a swimming pool has been added on Main Deck. The Lower Deck now has an expansive swim platform, providing easy access to the water for swimming, water sports, or lounging by the sea.
