Damen Yachting at
Monaco Yacht Show 2026
Three Distinct Expressions of Amels
This September, Damen Yachting returns to Port Hercules with three distinct expressions of the Amels Limited Editions philosophy. Headlining the showcase is Amels 80 PANGEA, making her world debut in Monaco and marking the first time the Amels 80 design has been presented at a yacht show. Amels 60 QU2 represents the most recent delivery of the successful Amels 60 design, while Amels 242 SYNTHESIS adds a different perspective on the evolution of Amels Limited Editions.
Different in scale, character and onboard experience, the three yachts share the same considered foundations: proven engineering, Dutch craftsmanship and the freedom to create a yacht that feels deeply personal. Together, they offer a compelling perspective on the evolution and breadth of the Amels portfolio, and the different ways in which life at sea can take shape.
Making Her World Debut
Amels 80 PANGEA
Making her world debut in Monaco and marking the first time an Amels 80 has ever been presented at a yacht show, Amels 80 PANGEA brings a new scale and presence to the Amels Limited Editions portfolio. She will be on display at berth E14.
Delivered in October 2025, she combines the assured exterior design of Espen Øino with a deeply personal interior by Sinot Yacht Architecture & Design. Her elongated profile and generous use of glass create a sense of openness, while expansive decks frame uninterrupted views of the surroundings.
Life on board is shaped by a balance of grandeur and privacy. A glass-bottom swimming pool draws natural light into the Beach Club below, while the forward-facing Owner’s Suite opens onto its own secluded outdoor setting. Throughout the yacht, natural materials, refined detailing and a calm palette create an atmosphere that feels composed rather than imposing.
Her ability to bring together practical ocean-going capability and a highly individual design narrative was recognised at the 2026 World Superyacht Awards. Amels 80 PANGEA received a Judges’ Commendation in the Displacement Motor Yachts – 1,500GT to 2,499GT category, acknowledging her exceptional design, engineering and level of personalisation within a series yacht.
"An 80-metre yacht whose character is revealed not only through scale, but through the thought behind every space."
Next Gen Superyachting
Amels 60 QU2
Delivered in May 2026, Amels 60 QU2 is the latest expression of the acclaimed Amels 60 design. She will be on display at berth S10.
Contemporary and effortlessly elegant, she has been created around a closer relationship with the water. Espen Øino’s exterior design combines a confident profile with generous outdoor living, creating natural transitions between life on deck and the world beyond the yacht.
Inside, Winch Design has drawn inspiration from the colours, landscapes and atmosphere of the Pacific Islands. Natural light, tactile materials and the connection between interior and exterior shape an environment that feels relaxed, refined and highly personal.
In the Owner's Suite, a private fold-down terrace brings the Owner closer to the surroundings. Elsewhere, flexible spaces support the different rhythms of life on board, from quiet retreat and family time to dining and entertaining.
Hybrid technology complements this considered approach, supporting a quieter and more efficient experience at sea while preserving the freedom and flexibility at the heart of the Amels 60 QU2.
"Designed around freedom, connection and the way an Owner chooses to spend time at sea."
QU2 is available for charter through Camper & Nicholsons.
A Different Perspective on Life On Board
Amels 242 SYNTHESIS
Adding a further dimension to the Amels showcase in Monaco is the 74-metre Amels 242 SYNTHESIS. Delivered in 2021 and redelivered in April 2026 following a refit, SYNTHESIS combines exterior design by Tim Heywood with an award-winning custom interior by Winch Design.
Moving away from a traditional yacht layout, dining and entertaining spaces are arranged across several decks rather than centred around a single formal room, creating a relaxed and residential feel on board. Her interior was recognised with the Best Interior Design, Motor Yachts 500GT and Above award at the 2022 BOAT Design & Innovation Awards.
SYNTHESIS is offered for sale and on display at berth H15 with co-exhibitors Burgess and Torrance Yachts.
"The success and evolution of the Amels 242 design form part of the wider Amels Limited Editions story that continues today with the Amels 80, introduced in 2022."
At the Heart of Port Hercules
Damen Yachting’s home during the show will once again be at stand JS6, in the heart of Port Hercules.
Throughout the Show, the Damen Yachting Team will be present to share the full breadth of its yachting expertise. From Amels Limited Editions and Full Custom yachts to Xplorer expedition yachts, Yacht Support vessels and Refit, the stand offers a considered setting in which to explore different ambitions, lifestyles and possibilities at sea.
Scale models and immersive Augmented Reality, including the Amels 60, Xplorer 80 and YS53, will bring the portfolio to life in greater detail, offering new perspectives on design, versatility and the thinking behind each yacht.
