A proven bluewater cruiser ready for your next ocean adventure
If your plans extend beyond the coastline and into true offshore cruising, this Amel 50 represents an exceptional opportunity to step straight into a world-class passagemaker.
Built by Amel Yachts and awarded European Yacht of the Year on release, the Amel 50 set a new benchmark for modern bluewater cruising. Designed specifically for couples, it combines intelligent design, robust construction and effortless handling in a way few yachts can match.
This particular yacht goes one step further. She is not just well specified, she is already proven offshore.
Designed for Safe, Confident Offshore Sailing
One of the standout features of the Amel 50 is its distinctive offset helm, positioned beneath a protective hardtop. From here, the skipper enjoys excellent visibility and full control of all sail handling systems in a safe, sheltered environment.
The cockpit is both secure at sea and highly usable at anchor, featuring:
- Large protected seating area
- Expansive aft sun deck
- Fold-down swim platform for easy water access
It is a layout designed for real offshore sailing, without compromising comfort when the anchor goes down.
A Yacht Already Proven Bluewater
This is not a yacht waiting for its first adventure. She has already cruised extensively to Iceland, South America and across the Pacific Ocean, demonstrating exactly what the Amel 50 was built for.
Currently lying in Fiji, she is ideally positioned for further exploration of the South Pacific and beyond.
The sail plan is simple, efficient and perfectly suited to a cruising couple:
- In-mast furling mainsail
- Furling genoa
- Self-tacking staysail
- Gennaker for light airs
- Spinnaker pole for downwind passages
All sail controls are led aft and managed via three electric winches, making handling straightforward and low effort.
Built for Independence at Sea
Long-distance cruising demands reliable systems, and this yacht delivers.
Powered by a Volvo 110hp engine with approximately 1560 hours, she offers dependable performance and efficient motoring when required. Manoeuvring is made easy with a retractable bow thruster, while the Varifold propeller ensures optimal efficiency under power.
Energy independence is a key strength, with an upgraded onboard system including:
- 200W solar array (new 2025)
- Additional portable solar panel
- Lithium house battery bank
- 3500W inverter (new 2025)
This setup allows for extended time away from marinas, supporting true off-grid cruising.

- Garmin GPSMap plotter
- Multifunction displays
- Linear drive autopilot with backup system
- VHF radio

Everything you need for safe, informed offshore navigation is already in place.
