Her proven concept, the high standard of boatbuilding in the shipyard and the focus on safety, reliability and comfort make AMEL sailing yachts legendary vessels for long distance cruising and you meet them in the most remote areas of the world. Very rigid, torsion-free construction using vinylester resins with laminated bulkheads. Deep, well-protected cockpit with fixed doghouse above the helm station. Bright and modern interior with plenty of light and air below decks through numerous large hull ports and coachhouse windows, eight deck hatches and seven portholes. The AMEL 50 was awarded "European Yacht of the Year 2018" in the luxury cruiser category.
Young, well-kept owner’s yacht from first ownership. Extensive specification including bow thruster, diesel generator 8 kW, watermaker 100 l/h, air conditioning and diesel heating, washer-dryer, three electric winches, etc. The hull is wrapped in anthracite metallic. Thanks to electric furling genoa, self-tacking staysail with electric furling system and in-mast furling mainsail including electric outhaul, this AMEL 50 is suitable for single-handed sailing. Complete navigation electronics with two chart plotters, radar, autopilot, AIS transponder and VHF radio.
