AMEL 50

Bluewater cruiser built in 2022

Luxurious and seaworthy bluewater cruiser from France fully equipped for circumnavigation. Her proven concept, the high standard of boatbuilding in the shipyard in La Rochelle 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 elected "European Yacht of the Year 2018" in the category luxury cruiser.

This AMEL 50 was only handed over to her current owner in 2022. The yacht is extensively equipped for long distance sailing including generator, lithium service battery bank, watermaker, solar panels and even a hydro generator. Light-coloured, modern interior in silk varnished oak. A special feature of this AMEL 50 is the optional electric carbon fibre furling mast by LORIMA with two forestays and two electric headsail furling systems and an additional electric furler for gennaker or Code-0. The yacht is offered ready to sail including all inventory. She is moored in Montenegro, can be viewed by appointment and is available for immediate handover.
