Dutch super yacht builder Amels presents its new website. Amels was founded in 1918, in the center of Makkum to the North of the Netherlands. Amels started off by building wooden fishing boats, steel tugboats, and coasters delivering about one hundred vessels of this type over the years. In 1982 Amels debuts into yachting, with the 48 meter hull 464 launched as m/y Katalina to exteriors by Diana Yacht Design. The first yacht is followed by a smaller 36.7 meters a year later in 1983 and again designed by Diana, which is at today the second smallest Amels build, following the launch in 1990 of a 36.5 meters. The largest Amels to date is the 89 meters hull 8301 as designed by Tim Heywood and launched in 2017. In 1991 Amels was sold to Kammer Damen, the second generation owner of Damen shipyards which was founded in 1927, and today is one of the largest private ship and yacht builders in the world with a turnover exceeding three billion EUROS, and 35 shipyards around the World. With this move Damen Group enters into yachting. Amels will stay at the Makkum facility for fourteen years and till 2005 as Damen moves it to a larger facility 150 nautical miles to the South West of the Netherlands in Vlissingen. Currently Amels offers a line up of two semi-production 60 and 80 Limited Edition super yachts, with a Full Custom program also available. The latest full custom Amels is the 77 meters Project Energy as delivered in 2022, with the 120 meters Project Tanzanite being in build since 2020 for a 2025 delivery. Tanzanite is to be the largest super yacht build in the Netherlands to date.
