Damen Yachting Unveils First Hybrid Amels 80

Damen Yachting has launched the first hull of the new Amels 80 series, marking the start of a new chapter in the Amels Limited Editions series.

Known as superyacht Pangea, the Amels 80 introduces a fresh design direction for the shipyard, bringing together proven platform efficiency, expanded customization potential, and a focus on sustainable technology.

Sold in 2022 just six months after the design was introduced, the Amels yacht is the largest model in the Limited Editions range to date. With naval architecture by Damen Yachting and exterior design by Espen Øino, the 80-meter yacht features a 12.5-meter (41-foot) beam and a gross tonnage of 2,175 GT. The yacht offers a top range of 5,000 nautical miles at 12 knots and is scheduled for delivery in summer 2025.

The interior is the result of a first-time collaboration between Sinot Yacht Architecture & Design and Amels. The design emphasizes natural materials, soft tones, and a fluid transition between spaces. “You will feel at home from the moment you step on board,” said Paul Costerus, Interior Designer at Sinot.

Hybrid Propulsion and Sustainable Focus

The Amels 80 is equipped with a hybrid propulsion system that reduces emissions and noise while increasing fuel efficiency—part of Damen Yachting’s push toward more sustainable performance. “This yacht is the ultimate balance of individuality and efficiency,” said Adriaan Roose, Product Design Manager for the series.
