Summary
Host Rick Thomas welcomes Rose Damen, Managing Director at Damen Yachting , for a powerful conversation recorded on board the 74-metre Amels 242 CASINO ROYALE in South Florida. This episode looks inside one of the most influential yacht builders in the world, exploring the future of Damen Yachting , the strength of the Amels platform philosophy, the importance of shipyard investment, and the balance between proven design, personalisation, innovation, and full-custom superyacht construction. Rose shares insight into Damen Yachting’s continued growth, including current activity at the Vlissingen shipyard in the Netherlands, the AMELS 60 and AMELS 80 programmes, Yacht Support and Explorer builds, and the company’s 120-metre full-custom project. She also explains how Damen Yachting approaches innovation through operational data, centralised research and development, co-maker partnerships, and practical technologies that must work in the real world. At the centre of the conversation is the wider yachting experience. As Rose explains, the shipyard delivers half of that experience through the yacht itself, while the captain and crew deliver the other half. Rick and Rose explore why owners, shipyards, captains, crew, designers, brokers, and technical partners all play a critical role in shaping the future of the superyacht industry. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ SUPPORTED BY Engineered Yacht Solutions ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Specialist welding, fabrication, and onboard engineering for yachts where precision is not optional. https://eyswelding.com 🎙️ Yachting USA | Yachting International Radio 🎙️ Host: Rick Thomas 👤 Guest: Rose Damen, Managing Director, Damen Yachting 🎥 Recorded On Board: Amels 242 CASINO ROYALE In this episode: • Damen Yachting’s growth and current build activity • The AMELS 60 and…
