Since 1918 - Dutch superyachts that pair custom style with the speed of a proven platform.
The best of both worlds: custom design, on a ready-to-build hull.
Amels is the Dutch name that reinvented the semi-custom superyacht. Since 1918 the yard has built a reputation for quality and reliability, and its Limited Editions line lets owners enjoy fully bespoke styling on a platform whose engineering is already proven.
Backed by the industrial strength of the Damen group, Amels delivers superyachts faster and with fewer surprises than a blank-sheet build, without giving up the elegance and personalisation that define a great yacht.
The Amels Limited Editions range offers a set of pre-engineered superyacht platforms, each styled by leading designers such as Tim Heywood. The naval architecture is fixed and proven, so owners focus their choices on interior, layout and finish.
The result is a genuine superyacht, delivered in a shorter, more predictable timeline, with the resale confidence that comes from a well-known and respected series.
From a traditional yard to a modern superyacht brand within the Damen group.
Amels is founded in the Netherlands, building a long tradition of quality shipbuilding.
Amels joins the Damen shipbuilding group, gaining industrial strength and global reach.
Under Damen Yachting, Amels builds semi-custom Limited Editions and fully custom superyachts side by side.
Amels combines the craftsmanship expected of a Dutch superyacht with the discipline of a serial builder: predictable timelines, tested systems and a high standard of finish.
It is a formula that has made Amels one of the most trusted names for owners who want a superyacht without the open-ended risk of a one-off project.
A proven platform, a personal yacht.
