Like its predecessor, the Super Maramu, the Amel 54 has a conservative sail plan and hull shape designed for comfortable sailing. On a CW test sail last year, in 16 knots on the beam with choppy cross seas off Florida, the 54 logged an effortless 9 knots. Old-school cruisers will appreciate the full-skeg rudder and twin reaching poles for downwind work. Because safety is Amel’s paramount concern, the boat has four watertight bulkheads. The 54’s solid hull is laminated to the deck, which has high bulwarks and full-length stainless-steel railings for added security.

Many Amel customers are older cruising couples, so easy operation is key. “If you can lift 50 pounds, you can do everything on this boat yourself,” says U.S. agent Joel Potter. The electric furling main and genoa, electric winches, a bow thruster, and hydraulic pistons to help lift berths to access storage all support his claim.

Amel’s characteristic steering station, behind the hard windshield/dodger, has push-button controls and readouts for almost all systems, although visibility from the chair is limited.

Built-in lee cloths and ample tankage indicate a boat designed for passagemaking. In port, the sumptuous leather-and-mahogany interior makes the 54 a queen on any quay that the built-in passerelle touches. The seaworthy galley has a dishwasher and a deep freeze; a washer/dryer is standard. Ample storage for cruising gear includes a cavernous lazarette fit for an RIB.

The late Captain Henri Amel’s vision of the ideal cruising boat incorporated elegance, safety, comfort, and shorthanded-sailing ease. The new Amel 54 is a distinctive, luxurious, long-legged passagemaker of which the Captain would certainly approve.

Max Boat | 54' Amel 2011

It is with great pleasure to bring this pristine Amel 54 Ketch to market. "Max" is hull # 173, the last 54ft produced. She is loaded with every option, and at the time of the build, the owner requested that Amel install a Steyr Motor which was the new engine brand being installed in the 55's.

This one owner boat, is currently on her second circumnavigation, and is currently sailing down the west coast of North America after spending the summer of 2023 in Alaska and the PNW. 

When I took these photos in the middle of their cruise, the boat was so clean and tidy, it looked like she was part of a boat show. That is how meticulous the owners are. All equipment is perfectly maintained with no deferred maintenance.

The vessel is set up for short handed sailing, as the owners never sail with crew. (except through Patagonia). Amel Yachts need no introduction and offer an extensive list of high quality options, which "Max" is loaded with for true offshore cruising.
