This Amel 53 Super Maramu comes equipped with every piece of cruising gear you would need and is ready to set sail tomorrow on her next bluewater journey. Offering features such as a solar array, wind generator and towable generator for providing charging without running her diesel generator or reliable turbocharged Perkins Diesel. And with a built in watermaker for generating freshwater while underway, combined with a robust communications package consisting of a long range SSB (Single Side Band) radio, Sail Mail, and WeatherFax you can be prepared for cruising in any latitude imaginable.
The sailplan is a perfect choice for extended cruising with her ketch rig which offers the ability to easily balance the vessel in any weather condition, and with every crucial control line routed to the cockpit and her factory installed electric winches and furling headsail, mainsail, and mizzen sails there is rarely a need to leave the safety of the spacious and comfortable center cockpit.
This vessel features a robust inventory of spare parts, an extra set of sails, two dinghies, and an amazing amount of storage space that makes this Amel the perfect choice for exploring the seas in comfort and safety. Contact me directly so I can share the full inventory of spares as well as a recent Survey on this vessel.

The Super Maramu, the culmination of a series of six different Amels produced in Henri Amel’s lifetime, was first introduced in 1989 and was discontinued in 2005, the year Amel passed away, after a production run of 497 hulls. It is very much a production boat in that most everything about it is set as firmly in stone as possible at the factory. New Amels are delivered, quite literally, ready to sail anywhere in the world with option lists that are very short. You either buy into the Amel system, or you don’t, and if you don’t you are well advised to buy another boat rather than try to make one of these into something it isn’t.
As on all Amels, the focus aboard the Super Maramu is very much on comfort and convenience. The boat, consequently, is very systems intensive. Standard equipment includes a generator, dishwasher, washer-drier, a fridge and freezer, and a microwave oven, not to mention myriad lesser bits of kit, including a vacuum cleaner, hair drier, and a specially designed shopping cart.
The same philosophy pertains on deck and the boat is designed to be operated from the confines of the well-protected center cockpit by a single individual capable of lifting no more than 50 pounds. Both the in-mast mainsail and headsail are controlled with push-button electric furlers; the smaller in-mast mizzen is controlled by a direct-drive furler turned with a winch handle. All sheet winches are electric. The power windlass, replete with chain counter, can also be operated from the cockpit, as can the integral anchor washdown system installed in the bow roller. There is also a retractable bow thruster to help out when docking, though it is necessary to step out on deck to handle dock lines.
