Damen Yachting relaunched ALBATROSS, a Delta Marine 72.2 m yacht that underwent an impressive refit and layout transformation in the last 26 months.

Vlissingen, March 7, 2025 – Damen Yachting relaunched ALBATROSS, a Delta Marine 72.2 m yacht that underwent an impressive refit and layout transformation in the last 26 months. She is a 72-metre originally built by Delta Marine that has undergone an expressive Amels Refit. This extensive refit of ALBATROSS is nothing short of extraordinary. This week she was brought back into the water for her final outfitting and sea trials.

The Damen Yachting refit of ALBATROSS is certainly a substantial one where the knowledge and expertise of the shipyard, in both large scale refits and new builds, has been key. Her visible exterior transformation highlights the extensive naval architecture changes whilst ALBATROSS has also been given an almost entirely new interior, designed by Harrison Eidsgaard.

The decision to refit rather than build new is both a bold and discerning choice. The Owners of ALBATROSS, preferring the unique potential of enhancing existing vessels, embarked on a transformative journey with Amels.
