First interior renderings of largest Dutch-built motor yacht revealed

The first interior renderings of Amels ' 120-metre project, now known as Project Tanzanite, have been revealed.

The full-custom superyacht was last seen in June 2023 when she arrived at the Damen Yachting facility in Vlissingen, the Netherlands, for outfitting.

The yacht is currently the largest project in build in the Netherlands, and, once delivered in 2025, will become the largest Dutch-built motor yacht in the world.

The record-breaking yacht is also set to become the largest member of the Amels fleet, surpassing the current 89-metre flagship Here Comes The Sun by 31 metres.

The yacht features exterior design by Espen Øino , who has worked with the yard on a number of projects in the last two years. Their shared portfolio includes the Amels 60 , the Amels 80 and the 77.8-metre custom project Energy .

Her interiors have been conceived by Nice-based studio Zuretti Design . Renderings reveal a warm, contemporary aesthetic that incorporates a cream and brown palette, curved furniture and statement walls in wood and marble.

Damen Yachting has completed the naval architecture in-house and the client will be represented throughout the build and final construction phase by Deeside Maritime.

The yacht arrived in the Netherlands from Damen Yachting's hull-building site in Galati, Romania. She was launched at the shipyard in May 2023, in a ceremony attended by local schoolchildren from the area.

Amels project manager Jeroen Waalewijn said at the time: "The launch of the hull was an emotional yet incredible moment for all of those who have played such an integral part in the realisation of the Amels 120 Full Custom so far. To see her out on the water and to now have her here in Vlissingen is a testament to the entire project team."

Project Tanzanite is set to incorporate the latest in design and technology, including diesel-electric engines and Azipod electric propulsion, which will help her "operate with the lowest levels of noise and vibration ever recorded on a yacht of this size", according to the yard.

She joins 12 other projects in build at Amels, including the 74-metre Nome , which was recently sighted on sea trials.

First Amels 120 full custom yacht arrives in Vlissingen

By Nina Done 20 June 2023

Marking a milestone moment, the impressive 120-meter Amels superyacht has just been revealed for the first time after being moved to Damen Yachting ’s facilities in the Netherlands for final outfitting.

Following her recent launch from Damen's build facility at Galați, Romania last month, the steel and aluminum motor yacht is now ready to commence her final construction phase, and will become the yard’s flagship upon delivery.

This impressive yacht’s head-turning exteriors come courtesy of world-class designer Espen Øino, showcasing a striking profile with sleek lines and a raked bow, with Damen Yachting responsible for her naval architecture.

Amels Project Manager Jeroen Waalewijn explains, “the launch of the hull was an emotional yet incredible moment for all of those who have played such an integral part in the realisation of the Amels 120 Full Custom so far. To see her out on the water and to now have her here in Vlissingen is a testament to the entire project team. We look forward to this next stage in her build journey as we transform her into our future flag ship.”

While her interiors remain under wraps, what we do know is that she comprises five decks, with pictures revealing a foredeck helipad, large swimming pool on her main deck aft and a beach club.

She will also feature state-of-the-art technology and engineering for all her onboard systems, as well as a hybrid system powered by diesel-electric engines and Azipod electric propulsion, significantly reducing her energy consumption, as well as mitigating her impact on the delicate marine environment.

We look forward to this next stage in her build journey as we transform her into our future flag ship.

Damen also confirmed that she will operate the lowest levels of noise and vibration ever recorded on a yacht of this size.

She will be the largest yacht in the Amels fleet upon delivery, which is expected to be 2025. It is not believed that the superyacht will be available to charter upon delivery.
