Overview
About this vessel
Privately owned Amel 55 in the desirable Pack Plus Comfort specification.
Designed for serious bluewater cruising, offshore passagemaking and long-term liveaboard use, this Amel 55 combines the proven Amel ketch rig, extensive onboard autonomy and the ease of operation for which the yard is known.
Why This Model?
Among bluewater sailors, the Amel 55 is often considered alongside Hallberg-Rassy, Oyster and Discovery. Unlike many yachts in this size range, she was designed from the outset for short-handed ocean cruising, with protected watchkeeping, simplified sail handling and a strong focus on self-sufficiency offshore.
Walk The Boat
The protected centre cockpit allows safe operation in offshore conditions, while the ketch sail plan and electric furling systems keep sail handling manageable for a couple.
Below deck, the three-cabin, two-head layout is complemented by substantial tankage, generator support, watermaker and long-range communications equipment. Together, these features make the yacht particularly well suited to ocean crossings, remote cruising grounds and extended periods away from marinas.
Condition
Private family ownership. Never chartered.
Offered for sale due to the owner's age. According to the owner, all major mechanical systems were serviced in April 2026.
