DESCRIPTION
2020 Amel 50
The magnificent Amel 50 set a new benchmark for modern bluewater cruising yachts and deservedly won European Yacht of the Year upon its launch. Built by the renowned French boutique yard Amel Yachts, this model continues the brand’s long tradition of producing high-quality, thoughtfully engineered offshore cruising yachts designed specifically for couples.
Combining innovative design with exceptional build quality, the Amel 50 offers effortless handling, outstanding comfort and genuine offshore capability.
Designed for Safe, Comfortable Ocean Cruising
One of the defining features of the Amel 50 is its signature offset helm, positioned beneath a protective cockpit hardtop. From this commanding position the skipper has excellent visibility and easy access to all sail controls.
Unlike earlier designs, the cockpit on the Amel 50 is remarkably spacious, incorporating:
Large protected seating area
Generous aft sun deck
Fold-down swim platform providing excellent access to the water
The overall layout creates a cockpit that is both secure at sea and ideal for relaxing at anchor.
A Yacht Already Proven Offshore
This particular yacht has already enjoyed significant bluewater adventures, having cruised extensively to Iceland, South America and across the Pacific Ocean. She is currently lying in Fiji, ready for her next voyage.
The sail plan is designed for simple, manageable sailing, ideal for a cruising couple:
In-mast furling mainsail
Furling genoa
Self-tacking staysail
Gennaker for light wind performance
Spinnaker pole for poling out the genoa
All sail controls are led aft to the cockpit and managed by a bank of three electric winches, making sail handling straightforward and efficient.
Reliable Power and Energy Independence
Propulsion is provided by a Volvo 110hp engine with approximately 1560 hours, delivering reliable performance and excellent cruising economy. The engine drives a Varifold propeller on a shaft drive, while manoeuvring is assisted by a retractable bow thruster.
The yacht is well equipped for extended cruising with a modern onboard power system, including:
200W solar array (new in 2025)
Additional portable solar panel
Lithium house battery bank
3500W inverter (new in 2025)
These systems allow the yacht to operate comfortably away from marinas for extended periods.
Advanced Navigation and Communication
At the helm the yacht is equipped with a comprehensive navigation suite including:
10-inch Garmin GPSMap plotter
Multifunction displays
Linear drive autopilot plus backup autopilot
VHF radio
Iridium GO satellite communication system
Integrated AIS Class B transceiver
This setup provides excellent situational awareness and reliable communications for offshore sailing.
Light, Contemporary Interior

To port is a forward-facing navigation station, followed by a comfortable U-shaped dinette, while opposite is a bench seat creating a relaxed and social saloon space.
The galley runs aft to starboard, positioned securely near the companionway and featuring:
Two drawer-style refrigerators
Force 10 three-burner stove with oven
Excellent storage and practical working space
Spacious Owner and Guest Accommodation
A hallmark of the Amel 50 is its superb accommodation layout.
The full-width aft owner’s cabin is particularly impressive, offering:
Large double berth
Private ensuite
Separate dedicated shower compartment
Built-in bookshelf with removable fiddles
Secure safe
Forward of the main bulkhead is a Pullman cabin with bunk beds, ideal for guests or crew.
