Amels Boats & Yachts

Brand Introduction

Amels, established in 1918 and headquartered in Vlissingen, Netherlands, ranks among Europe's most venerable custom yacht builders. The brand's origins lie in commercial and engineering vessel construction, a heritage that profoundly shaped its subsequent yacht design philosophy. Upon entering the large private yacht sector, Amels retained its engineering-driven approach, maintaining exacting standards in hull structure, systems layout, and long-term reliability. Amels specialises in large and superyachts exceeding 50 metres in length, frequently employing a ‘semi-custom’ construction approach. This involves adapting the exterior design, interior layout, and technical specifications to the owner's requirements, building upon proven platforms. Its vessels are primarily utilised for ocean-going cruising, intercontinental voyages, and extended onboard living. The clientele predominantly comprises experienced owners who prioritise construction quality and operational stability.
