Amels 80 Pangea Delivered: First Unit Sets Sail
The first unit of the Amels 80 Limited Editions series, the 79.8‑metre superyacht Pangea, has been delivered by Damen Yachting. Pangea left Damen’s Vlissingen facility on 27 October 2025 for her maiden voyage and is currently en route to Gibraltar, marking the handover of the inaugural hull in the new 80‑metre line.
This delivery follows a programme of builder-led sea trials earlier in 2025 that confirmed the vessel’s systems and performance. The project timeline began with the public unveiling in March 2022, continued with the keel laying at Damen Yachting’s Galati yard in Romania, and proceeded through the April 2025 launch ahead of final outfitting and delivery.
Dutch Build and Designers: Øino & Sinot Collaboration
Pangea was constructed in the Netherlands under the Amels brand within the Damen Yachting group. The superyacht combines a steel hull with an aluminium superstructure and a naval architecture package developed by Damen Yachting, reflecting the yard’s integrated approach to large yacht projects.
Exterior lines were created by Espen Øino International, while Sinot Yacht Architecture & Design is responsible for the interior. Jan van Hogerwou, Commercial Executive, North America at Damen Yachting, noted the close cooperation with the owner and their team throughout the build, describing the delivery as the result of a sustained partnership and shared vision.
Luxury Amenities, Volume and Guest Accommodation Details
Pangea measures 2,175 gross tonnes and is configured to accommodate up to 14 guests in seven staterooms, supported by cabins for 21 crew members. The arrangement allows for extended-range cruising with a full complement aboard and emphasises owner privacy with dedicated owner’s spaces.
Onboard amenities include a 200‑square‑metre sun deck, a private owner’s deck and a 6.5‑metre swimming pool. The 150‑square‑metre beach club houses a spa complex with sauna and hammam, a gym and a massage room. A notable architectural detail is the glass‑fronted transom door that folds flush into the teak swim platform, integrating tender and leisure access with deck aesthetics.
Delivery Impact and Operational Performance of Pangea
The delivery of Pangea establishes the Amels 80 line in service and demonstrates Damen Yachting’s capacity to deliver large, custom‑level Limited Editions yachts on a structured production timeline. With the vessel now on her maiden voyage, Damen will complete final handover formalities and support the owner during the initial operational period.
Pangea is powered by twin Caterpillar main engines and is rated for a cruising speed of 12 knots and a maximum speed of 16.5 knots, with a stated range of approximately 5,000 nautical miles. These figures position the yacht for long‑distance cruising while maintaining the onboard comfort and amenities expected at this scale.
