Luxurious, seaworthy, and equipped for long voyages, this bluewater cruiser from France is a true gem. Its mature concept, high standard of craftsmanship from the shipyard, and focus on safety, reliability, and comfort have made AMEL sailing yachts premier choices for long-distance cruising for decades, often found in the most remote areas of the world. The boat features a very stiff, torsion-free construction with laminated bulkheads using vinylester resins. A deep, well-protected cockpit with a solid doghouse over the helm ensures comfort at sea. The bright modern interior is filled with light and air thanks to numerous large hull and superstructure windows, eight deck hatches, and seven portholes. The AMEL 50 was awarded "European Yacht of the Year 2018."
This meticulously maintained first-hand owner yacht comes with an extensive specification including a bow thruster, 8 kW diesel generator, 100 l/h watermaker, air conditioning and diesel heating, washer-dryer combo, three electric winches, and more. Thanks to the electric genoa furler, self-tacking jib with electric roller system, and electric mainsail furler including an electric luff tensioner, this AMEL 50 is absolutely suitable for single-handed sailing. Complete navigation electronics include two chart plotters, radar, autopilot, AIS transponder, and VHF radio. The modern and exclusive interior features satin-finished mahogany with white upholstered panels, light laminated flooring, and numerous leather accents. The AMEL 50 is ready to sail in Malta and can be viewed by appointment.
