Embark on an unparalleled nautical experience with the Amel 50, a bluewater cruising yacht that redefines comfort, safety, and ease of navigation. Since its debut in 2017, this iconic yacht has conquered the seas and the hearts of sailors, with over 100 units delivered and continuous improvements that keep it as a leader in its class. Perfect for circumnavigations, Mediterranean cruises, or weekend getaways, the Amel 50 combines innovation, luxury, and performance to offer you the freedom to explore the world with confidence.
A Legacy of Nautical Excellence
The Amel 50 marked a milestone with its launch, introducing a sloop rig design that revolutionized Amel shipyards. Its quality and performance earned it the title of “Luxury Cruiser” in the European Yacht of the Year 2018 and the “Boat of the Year” award from Sail Magazine in 2020. As of September 2024, the delivery of the 100th unit solidified its reputation as a reliable and coveted yacht. As Pip Hare highlighted in Yachting Monthly (March 2018): “The Amel 50 is a luxurious and perfectly designed yacht, capable of traveling thousands of miles with minimal signs of wear.”
Innovations that Elevate the Onboard Experience
Since 2023, starting with hull number 74, the Amel 50 has integrated improvements that make it even more attractive to long-distance sailing enthusiasts:
- Improved power and maneuverability: Equipped with a 150 HP engine and a 5-blade Max-Prop Boomerang propeller, it guarantees precise movements and efficient navigation, even in demanding conditions. An optional retractable bow thruster facilitates docking in narrow ports.
- Optimized visibility and protection: A laminated glass windshield with wipers and a hardtop with 360-degree panoramic views offer safety and comfort in rough seas.
- Energy efficiency: Includes 570 W solar panels as standard, a 4,000 W inverter, and Coppercoat antifouling to minimize environmental impact and maximize autonomy.
- Safe and modern galley: A “gas-free” galley with an induction hob, GN Espace electric oven, and a 182 L column refrigerator ensures comfort and safety on long voyages.
- Comfort on board: A redesigned cockpit with ergonomic seats, non-slip decks, and a luxurious forward cabin elevate the sailing experience.
- Structural safety: An aluminum Selden mast, Dyform rigging, and five watertight compartments guarantee durability and protection in any condition.
