A full custom 78m superyacht in build at Amels has touched the water for the first time since arriving at Amels and Damen Yachting’s Vlissingen City yard. The technical launch was celebrated with a private event held at the shipyard in presence of the Owners’ team and designers working on the project.
The 78m superyacht arrived at the Vlissingen City shipyard in January last year, and now celebrates another huge milestone in her journey to completion. Andrew Tree of Superyacht Technical Services, who has been overseeing the build on behalf of the Owner since day one, shared his experience in a press release:
 Full Custom to be built since the introduction of Amels Limited Editions concept, was floated in her dry dock.
Present at the event were her full technical team from Amels and Damen Yachting, as well as the interior and exterior designer teams from Zuretti Interior Design, and Espen Ãino, respectively.
