Notable launches from more recent times include the 75m behemoth named Montkaj, the largest yacht ever created by Amels. The 2004 launch of Ilona was a major milestone for Amels as the 73.69m Superyacht won plaudits for her uniquely graceful curves and lines. Superyachts in the midst of creation by Amels can be found in their state of the art dry dock facility with full climate control and housing capabilities of up to 200 meters. Amels also supports total refits in conjunction with Damen.
