Launch of the third Amels 80 press image
Damen Yachting announced the launch of its third 80-metre Amels hull in Galați, Romania, on 28 November 2024, ahead of transfer to Vlissingen for outfitting.
Damen Yachting announced on 28 November 2024 that the third hull in its Amels 80 Limited Editions series had been launched at the group's hull-building facility in Galați, Romania. The 80-metre project was preparing for the next stage of work in the Netherlands.
Following the hull launch, Damen planned to move the vessel to Vlissingen for outfitting. Building and launching the steel structure at one yard and completing its systems and accommodation at another form distinct stages of the builder's distributed construction programme.
The announcement concerned the third hull of a series, rather than the first Amels 80 later reported to have begun sea trials in June 2025. Distinguishing individual hull sequence and date avoids treating separate projects as a single vessel milestone.
The shipyard did not use this November 2024 release to declare the yacht delivered, identify an owner or announce verified performance results. The newsworthy milestone was the Romanian launch and the planned move to Dutch outfitting facilities.
