Damen Yachting, a revered name in the luxury yacht industry, has marked the beginning of 2024 with the prestigious delivery of the Amels 60 SATEMI. This 60-metre superyacht, the fourth vessel from Damen's avant-garde Amels Limited Editions range, exemplifies the blend of bespoke craftsmanship and cutting-edge design.
The Amels 60 SATEMI is a testament to Damen Yachting's commitment to excellence. The yacht, gracing the Dutch builder's shipyard in the Netherlands, is set to embark on its maiden voyage to the Caribbean shortly. Its presence at the yard offers a unique preview into the exceptional quality and design Damen Yachting is renowned for.
Renowned designer Espen Øino is the mastermind behind the yacht's timeless exterior. Drawing inspiration from the second hull of the Amels 60 series, SATEMI boasts elongated windows, a distinctive feature chosen by the owners. The custom interiors, a collaborative effort between the owners and London-based Studio Indigo, radiate sophistication and elegance. Studio Indigo's original concept for the Amels 60 interior has been transformed into a unique and mesmerizing living space aboard SATEMI.
Tassos Papantoniou of Torrance Yachts, representing the owners, highlights their hands-on approach during the 24-month build. Their involvement has culminated in a yacht that epitomizes luxury, from the lavish tenders to the exquisite dinnerware. The Amels 60's design philosophy focuses on delivering extraordinary onboard experiences, and SATEMI doesn't disappoint.
The yacht features a spacious Sun Deck, a hallmark of the Amels Limited Editions, and a large Swim Platform. The Owner's Suite is a marvel with its folding balcony, separate bathrooms, and dressing room. SATEMI also boasts a unique foredeck, accommodating a tender up to 9 meters. With six guest cabins, it comfortably hosts up to 12 guests, attended by a 13-member crew, including the captain.
SATEMI is not just about luxury but also about embracing technology and sustainability. It features an advanced hybrid power and propulsion system compliant with IMO Tier III standards. Captain Mattia Dzaja praises the system's specification, emphasizing its safety benefits and reduced environmental impact. He also notes the passionate ethos of the Amels 'family', driven by Rose Damen's inspiring leadership.
Danker Rijk, Damen Yachting's Project Manager for SATEMI, reflects on the collaborative effort that made this project a success. The yacht's stunning appearance is a testament to the dedication and skill of everyone involved.
As Damen Yachting prepares three more Amels 60s and celebrates the final delivery of 2023, the popularity of this design is evident. The Amels 60 stands out for its proven technical platform, speedy delivery, and customizable options - a true gem in luxury yachting.
