AMELS Yachts – Operating Since 1918

The Netherlands has a rich history of prosperous shipyards. Shipbuilding companies like Feadship, Royal De Vries, and VanDutch are all based in this country.

But very few of them can claim to be as old as Amels. However, age isn’t the only noteworthy thing about Amels Yachts. They’ve got so much more going for them.

AMELS yachts brief history

Amels shipyard was founded in 1918. For about 64 years, they built magnificent sailing yachts—among other types of maritime vessels. In 1982, they shifted their focus to luxury superyachts.

From this point, it became the goal of many high-net-worth people to own an “ Amel.”

The shipyard specialized in semi-custom superyachts and often created a frenzy with their Limited Edition “Amels” series.

This is the case with the series designed by Tim Heywood. One of the yachts from this series is the 50-m Tigre d’Or .

The intermingled histories of the Amel shipyard and Damen Yachting (DY) might lead one to believe that both companies have always existed as one.

But it’s important to know that even though DY owns Amels (as it has for more than a hundred years), the latter had existed for about nine years before its present parent company (DY) was founded in 1927.

Notable Launches

Amels yachts built and launched the Hona in 2004. Redman Whitely Dixon designed it, and it measures 82m.

They also constructed Here Comes The Sun in 2016. It’s their largest yacht yet, with a length of 89m and a top speed of 17 knots.

Amels has two shipyards, both of which have climate control technology and house up to more than 200-m yachts. Their services include the designing, building, and refitting of vessels.

Amels has entered a new superyacht category with the official announcement of its new 80-meter (263-ft) yacht.  The Dutch yacht builder made the launch virtually during an online presentation from the Amsterdam Theater. The company said it was viewed by “tens of thousands.”

The on-camera panel included Rose Damen , managing director of Damen Yacht, Espen Øino, who designed the exterior, and Paul Costerus, interior designer at Sinot Yacht Architecture and Design. This all-star cast, comprised of the respected shipyard and two of the industry’s hottest design brands, also included the new 80-meter in a scaled-down, 26-foot model on center stage.

The yacht itself, which is currently under build, will be enormous, with six decks and a total interior volume of 2,175 gross tons. Aware that Amels has plenty of competitors in the 80-meter segment, the design has noteworthy features like the largest in-class, top-deck square footage, including a Jacuzzi and both access via an elevator and internal stairs as well as a spacious beach club that includes a spa, glass-bottom swimming pool and lounge area with openings on three sides.

With its vertical bow, long foredeck and tiered superstructure, Øino’s exterior is aiming for a timeless, classic look. Her modern lines will look as good in 10 years as the day she departs the yard,” he said in a statement, adding that the yacht has a “sense of scale,” but no space is wasted. “She is everything and more that you will expect from an 80-meter yacht,” he said.

The interior design has a neutral palette, with stained oak and walnut veneers, stones and leathers. The yard has kept these materials as natural-looking as possible. Loose furniture and other residential touches give the interior an open, homey feel.

“Materials are treated in such a way that the natural characteristics remain as pure as possible,” said Sinot in a statement. “Splashes of color and special finishings made from bronzed metals and glass are infused into the design throughout to create the characteristics necessary to make the yacht stand out from the crowd.”

As part of Amels’s Limited-Edition approach, it will be built on the same hull and superstructure, but owners can heavily customize the interior as well as custom tenders and toys.

The 80 will have an owner’s deck with its own lounge, featuring floor-to-ceiling windows, jacuzzi just forward of the main stateroom, and sheltered area for dining on the aft deck.

The six other cabins on the main deck all offer exceptional views, with a flexible VIP arrangement. It will accommodate a total of 14, including the owners.

The new Amels will also have hybrid electric/diesel propulsion, as well as solar panels and recycling capabilities. The tender garage forward can accommodate a 37-foot tender, with space for other tenders and toys like jet skis. The open foredeck serves as a touch-and-go helipad.

“Every new yacht challenges us to push the limits of our absolute mastery,” said Adriaan Roose, Amels’s product manager. “Decades of Amels pedigree, experience and knowhow have fed the creation of the Amels 80.” The first yacht will be delivered in 2025.

• Yacht builders & designers >

Amels is a prestigious motor yacht builder and a refit shipyard, with a vast portfolio of stunning Custom Built and Limited Edition superyachts. The company is located in Vlissingen, Holland and each year launches vessels globally known for their outstanding quality, luxurious interiors and great performance. The list below shows a number of Amels yachts that are for charter and the latest detailed info can also be obtained by contacting CharterWorld. You can charter Amels Yachts here or scroll down for a selection of yachts for charter and for the latest yachting news on Amels.

History of Amels started several generations ago, when in 1918 the company started building many ocean going ships. In 1982 the shipyard emerged as a global brand leader in luxury yacht building, by launching their first  luxury motor yacht. In 1991 became a member of Damen Shipyard Group gaining more advanced technology and financial strength.  Amels Yachts are currently building and refitting in shared modern facilities of Damen Scheide Naval Shipbuilding.

Custom built yachts by Amels are created by world's leading designers, set on proven platforms of their advanced naval architecture and engineering. Their exterior and interior are created in collaboration between the client and the company, with emphasis on client satisfaction, as well as technical precision, seaworthiness, safety, economy, efficient logistics and environmental respect. M/Y Aquarius (ex MY Shanti 2007), the 2008 Lady Nag Nag and the 2003 charter yacht Solemar are only some of the Amels Custom built vessels.

Their Limited Edition yachts revolutionize the semi-custom built market place, offering great service to clients seeking a first-class luxury superyacht,  delivered in less time. The Limited Editions are built on the best platforms, applying the same standards, methods, technology and materials as the Custom yachts. Although each of them may start off as a 'sistership', they offer extensive options for personalization and are always launched with a unique expression of individuality. Some of Amels Limited Editions include the Amels 212 yacht Imagine (2011), the 171 series charter yacht  Bel Abri (2010) and the Amels 177 Addiction Yacht (2009).

Another series, marketed by Amels and built by Damen is the Sea Axe fast yacht support series (FYS). The Sea Axe FYS is a high-speed, high-capacity, all-weather oceangoing craft, carrying helicopter, tenders, toys, consumables and crew, to free up luxury space aboard the 'mother ship'. One of the Amels' fast yacht support series is the Sea Axe Oberon, launched in 2010.

Having launched more than 30 superb new luxury yachts, Amels Yacht specializes also in their refurbishment or overhaul. The shipyard has also re-launched more than 30 boats, with a total length of 1,600 metres. One of the stunning refits is the classic, 52 metre Feadship superyacht Rio Rita.

Below is the range of Amels yachts that are available for luxury yacht charter. Also, please view the latest Amels shipyard news and the newest superyachts being launched or constructed by the Amels yacht building company.

View our selection of charter yachts built by Amels

Regarded as masters in the art of modern and exclusive Dutch yacht building, Amels boasts the largest shipyard in all of the Netherlands, as well as a reputation for being one of the top super yacht builders in the entire world.

First started in 1918, and becoming a global sensation in the luxury yacht world in 1982, Amels is located in Vlissingen, Holland; and has become known across the globe for the outstanding quality, luxurious interiors and great performance of their super yachts and motor yachts.

Much of the brand’s success can be credited to its outstanding team and facilities. Motivated by the rich, centuries-old tradition of nautical excellence in Vlissingen, Amels’ craftsmen have created more than 30 new luxury yachts and 30 re-launched and refurbished luxury vessels totaling 1,600 meters in length. And with its direct access to the North Sea, Amels’ 100K square-foot shipyard can accommodate private yachts of up to 200 meters. Included in the shipyard is everything a modern shipbuilder could ever need or want: fully climate-controlled covered drydocks, a comprehensive paint department and a top-notch engineering team.

The incredible talent of its team aside, Amels’ most revered accomplishment, today, is their 2007 Limited Editions collection – which contains five motor yachts, ranging from 55-83 meters in length, with exteriors created by award-winning British designer, Tim Heywood. Revolutionizing the semi-custom built marketplace, Limited Editions yachts were designed to reflect the luxury lifestyle of the early 21st century. These Limited Editions yachts offer customers the “best of both worlds” – simple, but luxurious yachts, with fully-customized interiors and exteriors – completed in half the time of a regular yacht. The Limited Editions collection, like all Amels yachts, are a product of impeccable design, client collaboration and top-notch engineering; resulting in powerful, high-end yachts that never fail to impress.

Four US designers bringing a fresh perspective to yachting

From Miami to Toronto, stars from architecture, residential and commercial design have brought a fresh perspective to yachting. Ahead of Palm Beach International Boat Show – running from 21 - 24 March – Rachel Ingram meets a few of these wave-makers defining the landscape…

Carla Guilhem Design

Florida-based designer Carla Guilhem developed a passion for interior design while growing up in Brazil with her family, who owned a furniture business. She studied architecture and interior design and lived in Italy and Spain before settling in the US where she cut her teeth on residential projects in New York and the Hamptons. Guilhem founded her eponymous design studio in 2012, headquartering the business in Miami: “a nexus of cultural and design influences that resonate with my ethos.”

Her foray into yachting came through a client who asked her to design the interior of custom motor yacht Lady Lene . Her brief was to create a home at sea for three generations of the family, and in the end the yacht won the 2023 BOAT International Design & Innovation Award for Best Interior. The award was “a milestone that cemented our studio’s reputation in the industry,” she recalls.

The studio is currently engaged with several new yacht builds across Europe, most notably Project 111.11 , a “ground-breaking” 34.1-metre yacht under construction at the Van der Valk Shipyard in the Netherlands. “The interiors are crafted to transcend our current understanding of forms and spaces,” Guilhem says. 

“Combining classic and futuristic lines,  the design immerses the owner and his guests in a sensation of outer space, integrating imaginary organic forms throughout. Flowing curves and seamless transitions create an otherworldly experience that harmonises with the natural elements of the sea. A monochrome and earthy colour palette further enhances the celestial ambience.”

Guilhem claims not to adhere to a specific signature style, believing that the studio’s USP is its ability to “draw out and integrate our clients’ specific tastes into a design that is both timeless and deeply personal.” While each project is unique, she has observed a pivot toward designs filled with elements that serve a clear purpose, and for beauty that’s “matched with utility.”

She adds, “There is also a prevailing demand for creating interiors that serve as sanctuaries at sea. Our designs are increasingly focused on fostering this connection, creating environments that are restorative and peaceful.”

Bonesteel Trout Hall

California studio Bonesteel Trout Hall was founded 20 years ago by partners Heidi Bonesteel, Michele Trout and Jill Hall, all of whom were born and raised in the Golden State. From their offices in Pacific Palisades and Newport Beach, they offer “Southern California flair of laid-back glamour.”

The design leads are Bonesteel, who previously worked with builders and designers in Los Angeles, and Trout, who cut her teeth in hospitality and luxury hotels. The duo claims to have no signature design and instead choose to adopt a personal and versatile approach each time.

“We integrate our clients’ taste, respecting the architectural integrity of each property and ultimately, try to pioneer our clients into a modern realm beyond their wildest dreams,” they say. “This chameleon-like approach yields a diverse body of work, resulting in everything from a sprawling French Normandy manor rooted in tradition to an avant garde New York pied-à-terre apartment.”

The studio’s key focus is residential, but it recently dipped a toe into yachting, designing the interior of the 55-metre Amels Nomad . The owner, a repeat client, brought them on midway through the construction.

“We were eager to take on something completely new, working with the family to create something with function in mind but also transforming their idea of what a yacht could look like,” they say. “The family really wanted their yacht to represent their native California upbringing so we infused functional pieces with a contemporary yet casual California look. The hull colour, a vibrant royal blue, informed the colour palette — we used that as a jumping off point and brought in citrus yellow as a nod to their sunny southern California lifestyle.”

Their go-to brands include Christian Liaigre Furniture — “their pieces are timelessly contemporary with subtle nautical details” — and DEDON for outdoor furniture — “their work gives a highly modern look with an ergonomic comfort that no client can resist.” For Nomad , they also pulled pieces from Summit, citing the brand’s “highly functional” products with “classic California depth and comfort.”

The designers have seen trends in yacht and residential design merging. “Clients are pushing for organic forms, whether it’s nesting pebble coffee tables or curved sofas. Additionally, they’re looking for a more intentional and subtle use of colour. Clients want designers to celebrate the natural landscape rather than compete with it.”

Bonetti/Kozerski Architecture

New York City-based architecture and design firm Bonetti/Kozerski Architecture was founded at the turn of the millennium by Italian and British architects Enrico Bonetti and Dominic Kozerski. The pair met in the mid-1990s while working for American architect Peter Marino and quickly bonded. “We opened our own office in 2000 when we had the chance to design a large apartment for fashion designer Donna Karan,” Bonetti says. “Since then, we split our work between high-end residential and high-end retail, designing flagship stores for different brands.”

The studio, which has also worked on numerous hospitality projects, is renowned for its minimalist style. “Our goal is first of all to provide an extremely functional space and then to disguise such efficiency with an elegant and well-balanced design that will limit visual distractions and would create a natural rhythm through the spaces,” Bonetti says.

It’s this aesthetic that inspired Italian shipyard Benetti to grant the duo their first yacht project, the first yacht in the new Oasis series. “We were called by Giovanna Vitelli to provide an interior vision for a new line of yachts that was under development with RWD ,” Bonetti says. “We used our foreignness to the boat world as a plus, and we created what has been described as a fresher and calmer design that blurs the line between the interior and the exterior areas.”

The 40-metre Benetti Oasis 40M line received such a positive response that the studio was brought back to design a smaller version, the 34-metre Oasis 34M, which was equally successful.

As a yachting industry outsider looking in, Bonetti has noted an “overall improvement” in yacht design in recent years. “We notice in general that there are fewer interiors designed for a wow factor, which, as yacht designer Terence Disdale brilliantly said, is the fastest ageing element in any design. We notice clients asking us for spaces that can have multiple functions: this is something that we really enjoy working on.”

The studio always works with trusted suppliers for its yachts, many of them from the founders’ home countries, Italy and England. “We very often incorporate fabrics from the Italian company Dedar, for their quality and for the wide range of textures and colours,” Bonetti says. “We also like to specify our line of outdoor teak furniture from Sutherland Furniture.”

Over the past three decades, Toronto-based design firm Burdifilek has built a solid reputation in the fields of retail, hospitality and real estate. Praised for its design style of “quiet, understated elegance with a global and timeless appeal,” the studio now has its sights set on yachting.

“We are creators of an international style, transcending trends to blend a distinctive design vision,” creative partner Diego Burdi says. “Our design team is committed to excellence and craftsmanship, and working with highly skilled artisans is very important in our studio.”

Burdifilek’s first yacht project was the interior of the 60-metre Amels 60 Entourage , completed in 2023. The studio joined the project through an existing client, an experienced yacht owner who was able to guide them through the process.

“We were thrilled,” Burdi says. “Our studio started researching and exploring the yacht world. By doing so, we quickly understood the importance of the experience of yachting, and the contact one can have with the exterior environment and the sea. We knew the interior needed to be the background for the exterior experience.

“For us it was important to feel that we are on a yacht, so we made design decisions to embrace the marine language by complementing the shape and form of the yacht into the interior design. For example, the lower deck bedrooms have curved walls, and the bed follows the vessel’s hull.”

The colour scheme they selected complements the ocean. “A monochromatic palette frames the exterior, allowing full view of the reflective waters,” Burdi says. “Knowing that the client had a colourful art collection, we created a softer palette backdrop to accentuate their art collection. The whole interior is holistically coherent.”

Burdi insists the studio actively avoids trends. “To create unique environments, you need to go beyond the trends and push boundaries,” he says. “Typically, clients will discuss their programming but when it comes to design, they leave us to create with our own DNA.” This extends to their pick of suppliers, which changes with every project. “Our studio is constantly researching and exploring new talents.”

Palm Beach International Boat Show will run from Thursday 21 March until Sunday 24 March 2024 along Flagler Drive in downtown West Palm Beach, Florida.
