AMELS 78m Custom // Espen Oeino

Amels, known for their semi-custom Limited Edition, built the Amels 78 with a gross tonnage of 2,885 GT; the exterior design and general arrangement were created by Espen Øino, while the interior design comes from François Zuretti.

This 78-meter Amels Full Custom embodies the realization of the Owner’s unique and ambitious yachting vision. With a gross tonnage of 2,885, she features a stunning exterior design by Espen Øino, whose team was also appointed to develop the General Arrangement. Zuretti Interior Designers are the studio behind the custom interiors. This Amels Full Custom benefits from several standout features that truly enhance the beauty of her overall design. These include a sizeable open-top deck, a large aft pool, and expansive side decks that can be utilized as private guest balconies.

Espen Øino:

“For our team it is the first time we have collaborated with AMELS on a yacht project. We are very impressed by the know-how and professionalism that the AMELS custom yachts team have displayed during the design development and negotiations and look forward to working together towards making this vessel a unique custom yacht we all can be proud of.”

François Zuretti:

“We are very proud of the trust that the owner and AMELS shipyard have placed in us when selecting our design studio to take part in this project. Being involved with the new generation of custom-made AMELS yachts is yet another great opportunity to pursue our commitment to developing unique yachts that are also contemporary, comfortable, functional vessels with distinct ethnic notes.”

Rose Damen, AMELS Commercial Director:

“This is a particularly significant contract for AMELS and a great compliment for our Full Custom team. All of us at AMELS are looking forward to working with the owner’s team and the yacht’s designers to create this beautiful new custom yacht with the absolute highest quality that AMELS is renowned for.”

Roeland Berrevoets, AMELS Manager Projects Custom Building

“This new AMELS project is a large volume yacht with a demanding specification that will once again showcase what we are capable of in large yacht building. We have invested a lot of time and resources to develop our team and our facilities in Vlissingen for full custom building, so it’s very rewarding to start building the biggest AMELS yacht so far.”

The hull was traditionally launched at the Damen facility in Galati at the Danube river. In the nex step, the hull will be transported to the Amels facility in Vlissingen, The Netherlands to receive the Zuretti-styled interior.

Moreover, Mr. Øino comments:

“The layout with the big pool on the upper deck with the boats below either side, but they are all hidden so you don’t see it. And of course the balconies with the direct access from the cabins out which you can spot very easily and it’s actually looking pretty amazing. A lot of people don’t notice this because when you look at the profile view they’re not very visible, but when you draw the boat in 3D you can see these balconies coming out.”
