Damen Yachting is delighted to announce the launch of the Amels 6003 yacht at its yard in Vlissingen, the Netherlands on 3 March. The yacht will now undergo outfitting in preparation for her completion.   

BRIDGING THE GENERATIONS 

The Amels 60 represents Damen Yachting’s vision for the future of superyachting. The design combines generations of heritage with the latest developments, forming a bridge to the yachting world of tomorrow.  

In addition to her distinctive, elegant lines from Espen Øino, she boasts hybrid power and propulsion technology for both sustainable performance and improved on board comfort.  

FOCUSED ON THE EXPERIENCE 

The design of the Amels 60 is focused on the onboard experience, giving feelings of spaciousness throughout. This includes her ample Sun Deck, Swim Platform, and folding Owners Suite balcony.  

The generous space arrangement also provides the means for the yacht to host a 9-metre luxury tender, stowed on the foredeck.  

Joppe Osté, Project Manager at Damen Yachting: “It’s a proud moment to see the yacht launched successfully today. She looks stunning in the winter sunshine, a true testament to all who have worked so hard towards this moment. I know I speak for the whole team when I say how much we are looking forward to the next few months as we work on taking the build through its final phases.” 

Jorrit Pilaar, Sales Manager at Damen Yachting: “We are very excited to see the yacht enter the water for the first time. With this milestone moment behind we’re very keen to move forward to the next stages and prepare this third Amels 60 for this year’s yachting season.”

A milestone moment in Antalya, when the Xplorer 58 yacht emerged from the shed and was lowered into the water. The yacht will now undergo her final build phase in preparation for delivery to her Owner in the coming months.

A milestone moment in Antalya, when the SeaXplorer 58 yacht emerged from the shed and was lowered into the water. The yacht will now undergo her final build phase in preparation for delivery to her Owner in the coming months.

IN THE SPIRIT OF EXPLORATION 

A custom yacht, the Xplorer 58 has been developed with considerable input from her Owner, making her perfectly prepared to offer the combination of indoor-outdoor living in which the Owner can enjoy adventures with friends and family around the world. Together with Design Unlimited, the Owner has created a personal and alluring interior in keeping with the Xplorer’s spirit of exploring the corners of the globe.

The Xplorer 58 features accommodation for a crew of fifteen as well as two expedition staff. Six luxury suites provide accommodation for up to twelve guests. To facilitate exploration, the yacht features a wide range of toys, such as two multi-role tenders, motorcycles, vehicles for both road and off-road use and a custom 11.4 metre sailboat. 

CONNECTING TO THE ELEMENTS 

When not exploring unchartered territories, guests can unwind in the cabana-style bar and lounge, featuring an infinity-edged pool, located beneath the Xplorer’s certified helideck. On the Bridge Deck, in addition to the Jacuzzi, the sky lounge and dining area provide the perfect connection to the world outside. The yacht also features the Xplorer signature bow point observation lounge, giving unrivalled views of some of the most beautiful and unspoiled locations on earth. 

FORWARD THINKING SAILING 

With her ice class hull and 30 days’ ocean-going autonomy, the yacht can safely sail to the most extreme and sensitive environments on the planet. The Xplorer 58 is a future-facing yacht and features a number of sustainable options, including a premium synthetic teak deck and wastewater tanks, ensuring suitability for operations in zero-discharge zones of outstanding natural beauty.  

A BREATHTAKING MOMENT 

Tolga Karacadal, Operations Manager Yachting at the Antalya shipyard said, “We are very excited at the successful accomplishment of this milestone of the project. Having seen the yacht in the water for the first time, it’s clear to see that she will be a head turner.” 

Enrique Tintore, Xplorer Design Manager at Damen Yachting, said of the launch, “It was a breathtaking moment for all involved to see the yacht out of the shed for the first time. The Xplorer 58 looked spectacular in the winter sunshine, a clear testament to what the combined team in the Netherlands and Turkey, along with our subcontractors, can achieve together. We are looking forward to putting the finishing touches to the yacht and handing her over to her Owner in the spring. After this, we will be continuing our work, creating the first Xplorer 60, which is scheduled for delivery in spring 2024.” 

NEXT IN LINE 

The next Xplorer 60 promises to be equally elegant and sophisticated. She will feature a luxurious interior design from H2 Yacht Designs and offer enhanced sustainability courtesy of Hybrid by Amels technology.  

This innovative feature enables cruising at speeds of up to 7 knots on electric propulsion, significantly lowering noise and vibrations for those onboard while considerably reducing emissions. 

PREMIUM YACHT BUILDING HUB 

In line with its building philosophy, Damen Yachting began construction of the Xplorer 58 up front, in order to offer the Owner a rapid delivery. Designed and engineered at Damen Yachting’s head office in the Netherlands, the yacht is the first Xplorer to be constructed in Antalya.  

The yard is Turkey’s premiere yacht building hub, boasting outstanding facilities and enjoying access to an experienced supply chain. The Xplorer range innovatively combines Amels yacht building experience with Damen shipbuilding technology. With an exterior design by Azure Yacht Design, the range also benefits from the input of design partner EYOS Expeditions and the hard-won experience they have gained in the field.

The Amels 60 Project WITCHCRAFT headed out to open water today for her first set of sea trials. An event which marks the start of a series of trials on the wintry North Sea ahead of delivery to her Owner.

This 60-metre (197ft) Amels Limited Editions is the second yacht from this all-new design series of which 6 yachts have been sold so far. Recognised for the signature exterior by Espen Øino, Amels 6002 is certainly in keeping with the well-established Amels Limited Editions concept taking a proven technical platform, sea-keeping capabilities and fast delivery which still allowing for customisation opportunities. The Owner has opted to add a number of customisations including a bright and light colour scheme, customised exterior styling with a notable change to the original geometric windows and custom interiors by design studio Burdifilek.

With a Gross Tonnage of 830 GT, Project Witchcraft accommodates 12 guests and 12 crew. She features hybrid power and propulsion technology, and the overall design focuses on the onboard user experience. There is an emphasis on space throughout with the large Sun Deck, Swim Platform and folding Owners Suite balcony and even space for a 9-metre luxury tender to be stowed on the foredeck. In early 2023 she will be setting sail for warmer climates and a busy charter season under the guidance of Moran Yacht & Ship.
