2011 AMEL 55 - Makemo

Discover one of the most meticulously maintained and upgraded cruising yachts on the market today. Makemo, delivered late 2011, perfectly combines the legendary comfort of the French shipyard with modern energy autonomy. Featuring the highly sought-after three-cabin layout with bright American Oak interior, she offers exceptional light and livability.

What makes Makemo unique is that she is ready to sail immediately. Unlike many units on the market, she has benefited from rigorous maintenance and significant recent investments in 2024 and 2025, making her fully autonomous for long-range cruising. The vessel's power system is entirely managed by Mastervolt, featuring a service battery bank upgraded to Victron Lithium in 2025, integrated with 1250 watts of solar power and a fully serviced ONAN 11kVA generator.

All systems are managed from the deep, hardtop-protected cockpit, with Reckmann electric furlers, dual thrusters at bow and stern, electric winches, and a comprehensive Furuno electronics suite including two autopilots. She carries a high-performance five-sail wardrobe from Hydranet and Doyle, the rig has been recently inspected, and the genoa forestay has been replaced. Onboard living is premium with tropical air conditioning, heating, a 160-litre-per-hour watermaker, full galley appliances including a dishwasher and washing machine, and global connectivity through Starlink V3 and Iridium.

Mechanically, Makemo is flawless. Her 140 HP Steyr engine has been strictly maintained with a timing belt service in 2025 and a heat exchanger replaced in 2020. She is sold with a high-performance tender with a 25 HP outboard and up-to-date safety equipment, offering complete peace of mind for long-range cruising.

Now located in Langkawi, Malaysia, Makemo is perfectly positioned for immediate cruising in some of Southeast Asia's most spectacular waters. Explore the Andaman Sea, the islands of Thailand, and the rich cruising grounds of Malaysia, or embark on longer passages to Indonesia and the Pacific—all without the expense and inconvenience of a transoceanic delivery from Europe. Renowned for its yacht-friendly infrastructure, Langkawi offers modern marinas, duty-free supplies, professional technical services, and excellent international accessibility, making ownership transition seamless and stress-free.
