Damen Yachting is pleased to announce the delivery and departure of the Amels 60 QU2, following her completion and a private naming ceremony at the Vlissingen City yard.

The newest 60-metre Amels Limited Editions superyacht features custom interiors by Winch Design.

Following delivery, she will embark on her maiden voyage to the northern Mediterranean, arriving in time for a busy charter season.

Proven platform, charter focus

As part of the Amels 60 design, the yacht combines the proven technical platform of the Amels Limited Editions concept with a highly personalised onboard experience. Her generous exterior spaces, large Swim Platform and spacious Beach Club create a natural connection with the sea, while ample capacity for tenders and toys supports an active onboard lifestyle. Designed around both guest comfort and smooth crew operation, she is well suited to the demands of charter.

Rob Luijendijk, Commercial Director at Damen Yachting, said: "As she departs, we wish her fair winds, following seas and many memorable voyages ahead. Amels 60 QU2 is a strong expression of what our Limited Editions approach makes possible. She brings together the proven technical backbone of the Amels 60 with a highly personal onboard experience shaped around her Owner's vision. With each Amels 60 delivery, we continue to build on our knowledge in design, engineering and real-world operation, and QU2 reflects that experience in a way that feels distinctly her own. Her balance of guest comfort, personalisation and crew-focused functionality is especially valuable for charter, where the onboard experience and service flow need to work naturally together."

Refined design, future-ready performance

The Amels 60 features an exterior design by Espen Øino, defined by distinctive lines and signature trapezoid windows. She is equipped with an advanced hybrid propulsion system that enhances onboard comfort while improving efficiency and range. For this yacht, Winch Design has created custom interiors that reflect a contemporary and refined approach, tailored to her Owner.
